Why aren't modern 3D platformers as good as the PS2 era of 3D platformers?
  • Every now and then I think about this and I keep going back to Yooka Laylee. In theory that game should be everything people want from a 3D collect-a-thon platformer, but something (at least for me) felt wrong. I think the game is too big. Like, the developers in this modern era had all this space to go, "I can fit everything," whereas in the past on there were much harder limits. Sometimes a limit forces creative solutions that feel better. Kinda the same idea of a huge open world with nothing in it vs a small map filled with things to discover.

  • That is a great argument for knock-off movies and shitty licensed games because they're cheap. You'd have to be living a pretty comfortable life to cluelessly buy a console.

    Oh no.
  • A child's... game? Kids often at school or sleep overs will spread and test the rumor of summoning Bloody Mary. In a dark room, while looking at your reflection, you say "Bloody Mary," three times.

    The low light of the room and the human brain's tendency to use short cuts makes your eyes perceive a distorted reflection of yourself after you stare at the reflection for a while.

  • The wizarding game upsets me. I grew up with that series and it is literally a game I would have loved to play as a kid, but I don't want to support the TERF. Low-key hoping it comes to ps+ so I can get it without giving them money.

    Capitalism indoctrination in progress.
  • I used to work at Walmart. For a long time I thought better pay would make the suffering worthwhile and for a while it did. But eventually the complete breakdown of management (salaried to be exact, I was an hourly supervisor) and processes due to an over focus on Online Grocery Pickup, made me even more miserable. I left for a more fulfilling job where, for a while, I was making less money (more per hour, but less due to not working a full year).

    No amount of money would ever sway me to go back to retail, but if it was just a money issue, I may not have left.
