We were robbed of a potential masterpiece of horror media.

I eat horror for breakfast, it's one of my favourite genres. Games, movies, novels, comics, you name it. Playing P.T. for the first time was the most unsettling, paranoid, anxiety inducing experience I have ever had in the genre. And the almost hysterical community at the time trying to piece together this demented puzzle was an extra layer of mystery and madness.

Ultimately we don't know what the finished product would have been like, but I have a hard time imagining anything else but a master class in horror.

Kojimas new horror game OD will likely be good, I'm sure. But you can only do a game like P.T. once, and that boat has sailed.

I've been replaying the Mass Effect series for the first time in a long while. They are still great games, but I think on replays, 2 and 3 suffer a little for removing so many of the RPG elements from the first game. The RPG mechanics in the first game weren't perfect, but I think improving them instead of removing them would have gone a long way.

I guess what I'm worried about from what I've seen, is that this game will mechanically be more similar to Mass Effect 2 and 3. Limited inventory, no meaningful armor stats, unable to change party member equipment, that sort of thing. That doesn't mean it will be a bad game, ME2 and 3 are still great games, but they are not RPGs, more third person action game with lite RPG elements.

Maybe I'm wrong and someone can correct me (I'd love to be wrong.), but from what I've seen it seems like this is the direction the game is headed.

Yes! I loved Warioland as well, what wonderful strange little games lol. I never got a chance to play Warioland Shake it, but I've played all the rest!

I agree I always want more Wario games, we hardly get any! And I can't believe how little they've done with Waluigi. I thought for sure he would get a Smash invite :(

I don't remember much about Wario Land on the gamecube... but if captain toad can have his own adventure game on the switch that's actually pretty good, than so can Wario!

Does anyone remember the Super Mario Land series for Gameboy? This series was so strange, but I still loved playing them on car rides.

The games felt surreal, it seemed so novel playing a mario game where you pilot a submarine and shoot at enemies, or when giant easter island heads are enemies in the game.

It's kind of funny how Mario has evolved over the years, it doesn't sound so out of place anymore. I'm pretty sure there are Moai statue enemies in Mario Odyssey funny enough.

I agree, it is unfortunate it came to that. I really wanted to keep that community in my feed because there is a lot of content worth checking out from there. Ultimately I operate on a 3 strikes policy, and they crossed it so out they go.

Yeah I just blocked the free and open source software page because of the type of conversations they are having and the amount of people "dunking" on boogeymans like SJWs and "wokeness". Yuck.

Joycons. I actually enjoy using them but the fact that their failure rate is basically guaranteed makes them little more than paper weights. I have 4 sets all with drift. I have a friend who's really into Nintendo and he has a huge collection of joycons because they keep developing drift. At $100 a pop in Canada, I know my friend has spent over $1000 on these things. Myself, I would never buy another pair of joycons from Nintendo.

My experience with joycons has actually made me much more discerning when it comes to buying new controllers, for example why would I buy the xbox elite controller when everyone reports they develop drift? Before joycons I probably would have just bought the xbox elite controller and ended up with a disappointing product.

Thank you, I appreciate comments like this so much. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Unfortunately it seems obvious that PP and his party will win with a majority government. And as an autistic LGBTQ person who already experiences real hate from people in my small town, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.

It sucks when life feels like a smash mouth song and the hits don't stop coming. Hope you can fix your mobo/cpu problem without spending any extra money. Sounds like things are tough right now, I hope your week improves too :)

Serious question here, when does this become an act of war?

This is all hypothetical so bear with me; If the USA flew satellites in international space above Russia, and those satellites dropped thousand and thousands of propaganda pamphlets that would fall down on Russian cities, and did this every day for years, would it not be seen as an act of war?

So why is it okay when it's done internationally online instead of international space?

I mean, the fact that a subreddit based on making fun of people with disabilities even existed says a lot about reddit, just like dozens of other deplorable subreddits. Unfortunately some of those subs are still around to this day.

I'm sorry you went through this, the internet can be awful. The stuff I used to see on 4chan back in 2005+ was insane. In a lot of ways it hasn't really gotten any better on reddit.

It's alarming that when they rejected you, you doubled down and tried to adhere to their standards to fit in even more. But you were young and toxic groups like those exploit people all the time.

I hope now you understand it is not okay to make fun of disabled people like that.
