@aescling @Lucy dammit i should have put rayman 2 in best art style

@amy @Lucy what gave it away

@Lucy well shit sign me up

@Lucy what is wanderstop

@Lucy I find things like this to be reductive. Having to choose one item for each game and the excessive specificity removes the opportunity for nuance when games can fit into multiple boxes or when multiple games can fit in a category with room for only one game. And in the algorithm-driven world where art is carefully organized into categories so that we are regularly fed art that checks superficial boxes instead of being itself I have qualms about itemizing art this way. Also, here is my grid:

@coriander @magicalmilly ah, report retracted. keep up the good work

@coriander @magicalmilly it's actually illegal to make a post like this and then not share a link

@coriander @rockario based

@coriander @rockario what's frustrating with Anderson is that he's still good at critiquing games when he approaches them mechanically. But whenever he talks about story or themes I kind of want him to just stop talking please

@coriander @rockario I lost a lot of respect for Anderson when he spent five minutes of a review defending Joel's final decision in The Last Us

@coriander @rockario why do you say he's a hack?

@coriander @rockario also in Joseph Anderson's video titled something like "three alternatives to no man's sky" or something like that he has a section on The Long Dark and his description of the game will make it very clear to you whether or not you will like the game (I bought the game because of that video)

Pixel a Day's video on Subnautica, The Long Dark, and the sublime is also, fittingly, a sublime viewing experience

@rockario @coriander I don't recommend the story mode I thought it was very bad.

I enjoy the experience of fucking around and finding and don't mind extremely harsh punishments for my mistakes out so jumping straight into survival mode without looking up anything was a transcendent experience for me. If you prefer a little guidance then watching some of Zaknafein's advice on YouTube would be good (his various "10 tips" videos are really good for gitting gud)

Otherwise, prioritize shelter, then fire, then food in that order. Use death as learning experience, it will happen to you. Weapons are the best way to get long term sources of food since you can hunt, and find the spotting flare if you can it's a get out of jail free card for any wildlife encounter

@The_T yeah
