I mean, “I don’t want to associate with this person because I find them awful,” doesn’t seem immature to me. Like, I can enjoy media and personalities that are problematic or toxic to varying degrees, but I have to take them in context. The context here is that it’s 2020, and Doug TenApel was involved, so within that…

All I’m saying is its an overwhelming quantity of things. So much that it doesn’t sound like fun at all, and instead sounds difficult to keep track of. I could just donate to good causes and buy the games I want when I want them, which seems much much easier.

I mean, I have been.

Wouldn’t I be doing a better thing if I just donated money?

Even if they’re not terrible, it’s such a big pile that the idea of sorting through it for the bits I want (and there are bits I want) is annoying. I’d honestly rather just donate directly and skip the bundle because the cognitive load of that much stuff just… oy.

But Oxenfree was terrible and I hated it so much. Mostly the characters. I’m sure they developed as the game went on, but they started so annoying that I couldn’t take the thought of playing more.

Surprised to not see Buried on the list, which features Ryan Reynolds in a coffin. That’s in, that’s the movie. He was buried alive.

I just get very frustrated by lazy comedies that try and get by on little more than a premise and likeable actors who can basically improv. That cast and that premise could have been much better.

At the risk of this sounding like “git gud”: the RNG plays a relatively small role compared to positioning and cover destruction. Any time I’ve gotten fucked by the RNG, it’s because I was taking a risk I shouldn’t have taken. I mean, yes, it sucks when you see 90% to hit and miss. But knowing that you had a chance to…

I understand how the control scheme works from playing earlier games, but I’m a little disappointed there’s no controller support. I’m a couch gamer, and I really do want to play this, but now you want me to go get a _mouse_? I left my mouse at work when everything shut down due to corona virus.

I think there’s a missing class that sorta falls between some of the classes on your list: the industrial space motif. Alien and Aliens provide the best example of those: the tech isn’t mirroring real tech, but it’s clearly built to give us a sense of an intimately used future, made to feel “real” and “lived in”.

Wait, it’s not? Admittedly, I didn’t pay that much attention to Fo76, but I thought that was the whole point! I remember the whole, “there are no NPCs, because the players will be the NPCs!” and then the “we’re adding NPCs” so I foolishly assumed that it was more MMO-y.

It’s almost like trying to build an MMO on top of a single-player engine is a terrible idea.

So, you haven’t listened to any of his breakout standup that launched his career? Look, it was the 90s, but when it comes to comedy, Sanders has a long history of both punching down, and going for the laziest hacky joke. I don’t think he’s some sort of KKK hood wearing scumbag, but sometimes he’s bad and not good, and…

I mean, I recognize that it’s flamebait, but it is an honest assessment. I got bored. There was absolutely nothing to hook me into the game and keep me playing besides more boring bossfights and barely average gameplay.
