That was great! I quite pick up on 210's attachment to 9S, so I'm glad you pointed it out. I also wish that Emil could've caught a fucking break for once in his life. The minor character dramas are much more poignant to me than the overarching story. It's more like using war as a backdrop to pull out compelling…

I finished up the last two endings for Nier:AutoMata last night. I got pretty tired of the combat by the end. It's pretty easy to break the game and I have little self-control for stuff like that, which is required for a challenge when playing on Normal mode. Bosses would go down in a few hits/hacks. The story and…

I was sad to realize that there aren't enough spaces in the horse name screen for me to name him "Ganonhorse". So I dropped the "e."

I've never heard of this dream before reading your comment and it has since consumed my thoughts. Thanks.

Plus I'd be way more interested in the whole "penis pearls" thing than cutting off a finger.

I had a stuffed loon in my room as a kid that would make a call when you squeezed the tail and it suddenly wasn't so cute after I read Pet Semetary for the first time.

That one never fails to get to me. "It's longer than you think!"

That's part of why I love his short story collections so much. Way less room for bloat and he almost always ends them with a kicker.

Yeah he may not be able to stick the ending most of the time, but dammit if he doesn't know how to craft his own little corner of horrific reality, show us around and let us live in it for a time.

Hey world building that is tangential to a story is great. It adds variety to the narrative and provides weight to the journey of the protagonists. The kids in IT weren't just fighting a scary, shape-shifting clown. They were fighting small-town discrimination and indifference. The literal cause and form of Derry's…

I really should get back around to giving it a try. I got through Kanji's dungeon if I recall before I was burnt out. There's no way I'll get it done before Persona 5 and based on early previews, going back to randomized dungeons might be hard.

Oh letter 2, how i wish I had seen you a couple of years ago. My solution to dealing with a "no" from a previously willing, but seemingly no longer interested partner, was to silently crush my feelings of rejection into a ball with their siblings "shitty self-image & esteem" and then bury it under layers of…

Yeah, on a personal level if hookup culture means "I can lie about my disease status because I'm sure it's not infectious because this isn't going anywhere serious" then we need to have a fucking re-evaluation of how this all goes down. Dan's advice is shit. An long conversation in the afterglow of a good fuck isn't…

So can I admit in this thread that as excited as I am for Persona 5, I never finished Persona 3 or 4:Golden because of the battle systems? I loved the storytelling aspect of both games and the Persona fusion, but always felt like I was going to screw myself out of finishing the game by going for the wrong builds when…

Nancy's dream sequence at school in Nightmare on Elm Street is probably one of my favorite horror movie scenes. Perfectly demonstrates a waking nightmare.

I'd settle for someone who could explain if maybe I was born with it or maybe it was Maybelline that gave me this hideous growth on my face.

Already done. I'm typing this on a piece of paper that will be attached to a brick and thrown through the AVC office window for submission. Still don't have enough time for all my games.

Is the Turian geologist constantly calibrating their rocks? Those Turians, always calibrating something (which might be speciesist, I apologize).

Ooh I have been considering what my P5 MC's name will be. D.B. Cooper was a pretty good thief (if the fall didn't kill him) and it is an incredibly European name, so it's perfect for a Japanese high schooler.
