  • Lmao I'm also absolutely stuck on certain methodologies that I've found to work better than anything else, although most of those are knife safety things where if someone does it wrong I get anxious because it's dangerous, to the point that I'll insist on taking the knife away from them and chopping or peeling something myself if they won't hold it right.

    I know you hate to see me coming with my reasonably fast incredibly unorthodox knife cutting skills. You also can't touch me lest I will pretty sure stab myself

  • Take some inspiration from the swedes here

  • I need you to, at least roughly, write down this fucked up recipe for me

  • Oh you invented putting cheese on bread, did you?

    Jumping off of this: The foodsphere, even removed from the italians, knows a lot of "nooo that's not correct". The only thing as annoying as the italians though are the people who think the Earl of Sandwich invented that. It's putting literally a thing in bread, people have been doing it since we have bread

  • so how do they get activated

  • What always strikes me about the billionaire shelter with staff is how do they figure they're not going to get praetorian guarded like day two. There's literally no failsafe imaginable that does not end with you dead and/or tortured

  • I feel like as per what sucks about traditional gender roles societally we have taken the "time to make it suck for everyone" route like, a lot.

  • I mean anything but City Trial is basically just a racing game or a minigame. City Trial works surprisingly well with the AI due to how it's designed.

  • Kirby Air Ride isn't exactly typical Kirby but my god is it good

  • This doesn't actually register to Gunther because he's so hard of a poster he'd start physically mailing tweets to friends for them to post or something

  • all art is inherently political but going on an adventure kind of necessarily includes some type of obstacle and/or strife and the second anybody chooses an obstacle it is hella political

  • I'm mostly trying to get better to weave connections between the gameplay and the story. Like for story reasons alone I wouldn't bother much analyzing Tomb Raider on account of there isn't a lot there. It's an action movie plot to get you to go to next location and try to make some characters sympathetic. More like how the survival elements are represented in both story and gameplay, allthough entirely superflous in the latter past the tutorial. Not even in "optional side content that gives you cool stuff" until you hit Rise.

  • I've read those, actually and they're fascinating, allthough I disagree with the usual takeaways in the sense that I think Druckmann either didn't want to or fell flat on his ass trying to do a direct allegory. I lean towards the latter on account of being too much of a coward to get either real, weird, or real weird with it. All the "ohhh she finally forgives her tormentor" bullshit did not land at all after I've spent my time axe-murdering both the WLF and the entirely uninvolved in the Ellie / Abby conflict Seraphites, especially considering the entire plot hinges on the fact that all those unnamed NPCs you kickshoot to death as Joel and Ellie previously also had families.

    What takes it back from the brink of idiot plot to me is that once Dina divorces her and literally takes the kid the whole thing gets painted as most divorced man revenge quest energy on Ellie, which is novel.

  • what?

  • Not trying to knock the guy at all, it's just not what I'm after because this kind of thing just happens naturally to me. Fun Fact: The remedy games all tend to have insanely detailed bicycles but everyone rides a fixie.

  • This can't be serious. You can't tell me every sawmill owner in canada looked at a global market using metric for their very easily shippable goods, including the fucking shipping pallets themselves, and figured "nah, one market is all we need".

  • See I read this and I think "Tomb Raider has a lot of unadressed colonialism that only gets worse as Lara turns from antihero into relatable hero" but again, this feels obvious and doesn't really say anything interesting.

  • I get it now. They're good, it's a unique look at things but at the same time it's not quite what I'm after because as per grappling with the media as much because it tends to "ignore" most of the games to focus on the unseen.

  • I don't get the employment survey part here
