I’m already seeing the comments, so let’s be clear about something here:
“Cancel Culture” did not kill Alec Holowka. We don’t yet have the full picture of how he died, but it sounds as if he died by suicide, and had been suffering from a host of psychological and personal difficulties prior to that final, tragic act.
No…

When I helped clean out my parents house a few years ago, I found my old copies of these books (that alone sounds like the set-up of one of the scary stories). Re-reading them as an adult, I found that those horrifying, splattery illustrations we all remember often hinted at far more bloody mayhem than the actual stori…
Very much the same for me, every once in a while I come across a game that I’m just having too much fun to finish (RDR 1 and BotW were the prime examples for me.) The flip side of that is whenever I get back into the game, I usually decide that I need to restart the whole thing, for reasons
Sushi doesn’t go with crackers.
So the pro-lifers will demand the death penalty for the killing of an “unborn child”, right? They’ll also ban guns as a surgical instrument used in abortions, right?
that’s fantastic game design, thanks for sharing. blows my mind thinking back on it.
Seriously, exploring to find random out-of-place rocks has never been more exciting.
That happened to everyone. Those rascals set the time in the game so that when you first step onto Hyrule Field, you will always reach the castle gate just as it rises out of your reach.
Absolutely. That sudden feeling of, “Wait, I can’t just hang out here for as long as I please? There’s a day/night cycle with actual consequences? DA FUQ?!” was both terrifying and exhilarating.
It’s amazing how they shifted the joy of exploring a temple to the joy of picking up a rock.
My history with 3D Zelda titles is weird in that I started all of them as a kid after watching my brothers play through the game, then got bored at some point in each game and couldn’t bring myself to finish them. Then, as they started being released years later, I replayed most of their remakes, so really I didn’t…
I still remember the first time I got wandered around Hyrule field for too long and oh shit, is the sun setting? the gate is closing?! AHH WHAT SKELETONS
It’s fitting that the next time I experienced anywhere close to the same sense of wonder and joy I felt while played a game, was last years Breath of the Wild.
It doesn’t hurt either that Hyrule Field still has the best music in any Zelda game.
wait WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL IS THIS
Right?! The scariest part of the story is that someone accused this man of something he clearly did not do because no one saw him do it.
“Look at me” sends a shiver up my spine every time I so much as think about it. The best Jez scary story, imo.
