I haven’t played Peak yet but it’s such a funny thing for a video game to call itself in this day and age. Like that was a hundred percent deliberate and you can’t tell me otherwise and I love how it’s so subtle that in a hundred years no one will notice and it will possibly be a funny anecdote about the game that some niche historian will describe, like “Did you know this title is actually a subtle joke at the time? Peak was actually a slang term for a work of art that was considered perfect, so calling their game that was a subtle nod to that fact.”

I hate that new Hazbin song because the potentially good punchline of the joke is ruined by Vox saying it before shouting it. The snips fits so much better that way too.

Why do I have 16 hours in Little Nightmares when I know for a fact it was a super short game that felt over too fast?

I don’t have the tetris effect I have the trans-game effect that i’m also calling cult of the lamb effect, where I expect to be able to roll in other 2D games sometimes and forget I can’t, or after playing zelda games forget I have to manually jump in other games and just fall.

Why are people comparing secret of the mimic to poppy playtime when it’s much more like Outlast? Like yeah there’s the straightforward chase scene, but there’s also the primary mechanic of hiding and sneaking and lockers going on. Literally just add a video camera and everyone would be calling it an Outlast clone.

They need to remake fallout yesterday at this point because I’m playing it and it’s unbearable to walk six steps and suddenly having to wait for six other creatures to move six steps around you, because killing a rat means every other rat wants to gang up on you now, and you’re not even killing then because there are too many of them, so you’re trying to run away. I played for 30 minutes and haven’t even encountered a person yet.

Ori and the Blind forests opening is so awful. Like was it really necessary to depict the death of a main character followed by a dying animal crawling through thorns on broken legs? It doesn’t even establish an end goal for the game or a reason to want to go on this journey. And both characters who die in this opening get revived so there are no consequences, and this backstory is completely irrelevant, pure emotional manipulation is what it is.
