Yeahh, I still need to accept it. I kept my hair long for years and for the past two years just went a beanie every time I went outside, until that just... wasn’t viable anymore. I do the buzz cut now, but I still can’t get used to seeing my reflection in the sunlight, and seeing my scalp. It’ll take some time, I…

Very good advice. Nostalgia is pretty much like a drug to me, and just as harmful in the long run.

Excellent points, all around.

I’m at pretty much the same place at 29 in a lot of ways (minus the anger toward women, and mostly with the self-loathing and being once again single, while everyone else I grew up with seems to be getting married and churning out babies). Pretty much everything Dr. Nerd Love lays out as advice seems dead on - but…

I played for quite a while but ended up getting distracted by my OCD gaming tendencies, then lent it to a friend. I did enjoy what I played, though, and didn’t think the story was nearly as bad or confusing as everyone kept saying. Perhaps I’ll power through to the end, eventually.

Yeah... when I backed the game, I was expecting it to look like the awesome concept art. Not... this.

That scene in Ghost in the Shell, where there’s the rousing music, and that crowd crossing the street in the rain, with all these umbrellas...

I like this description.

I like your style, Yannick.

Well, I’d been wanting to excuse to play this game again on my fancier new hardware, and now it seems I’ll have one.

Saw it, came to Jezebel for sanity.

I grew up in the town the original games were made in, and it was heartbreaking when the company was shuttered, the IP lost in a mess of red tape. It’s heartening to hear this might bring some of the magic back, even if the original team has long been lost to time.

Oh god. That baby. They’re going to eat the baby, aren’t they?

I like how it’s either 1 or 5 in the results. And I totally agree.

Hmm - looks a bit like Van Helsing, but less clunky?

Rape/child molestation is the only way to talk about or depict sex without it being considered gratuitous?

There’s a lot (A LOT) of discussion about this topic, which I don’t have time to argue about on Kinja. I don’t have anything against actual survivors of abuse writing about it - I said that above. But (like the other person responding to your comment said) when it’s used as a lazy plot mechanic by someone with no…

One of my favorite fiction magazines sums it up incredibly well in their submission guidelines:

Yeahh. I “UGH”d so hard when that happened. IT’S BEEN DONE, NIC.

It’s so dumb, but it’s also so dumb that it’s kind of fun. Once I accepted that, my Sunday nights this summer got a lot more entertaining.
