Enthusiastic nihilism is realizing that nothing in this world has inherent value. While knowing that we are able to assign value, making things matter. Or not.

Everybody waited patiently for MY review of Ys X Nordics.

Here it is.

TLDW; wait for Proud edition 😓

It's funny to think the olympic games were originally fully nude to ehm... admire the human physique properly. Correct me if I'm misremembering.

(and they were male only)

[_s.a.m.e.m.e.m.e_ @st_louis_stan]

This is a very good example of high sexual neuroticism but on an institutional level, you have the implicit idea that male desire is immoral and dirty and dangerous, that it contaminates female dignity, violates them with unconsented-to sexualization, but with the added institutional level that male desire is a moral danger must be managed from the outside, that some sort of external authority, in this case the broadcaster, needs to be tasked with managing the possible sexual perception of female athletes because it's unacceptable and even dangerous that male desire be activated. And you can tell this is female neuroticism because at no point is it suggested that women perform in clothes that aren't one step above underwear - no, it's the dirty men and their horrible sexual leering that taints something innocent with scary and threatening sexuality. So you end up with institutional sexual neuroticism treating male desire as a public risk that must be managed by authority

@GreenTextRepost @Epicartworks Probably shoulda asked about the story, what it means to him and what EXACTLY does he love about it.

I'm sure it would have given better ideas on how to surprise him in good way.

Unfortunate.

@Monkium @ThatABSensei_2 @animecorner_ac Punch everything I don't like or disagree with.

You should play CRPGs not JRPGs.

How fucking soft and self conscious has FGC become? Really sad and pathetic.

Brian F being the only one with a good take is not unexpected however.

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

I wonder how many people realize there are cultured fan service games and goy service games.

Marvel rivals being one of the goy service examples.

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

More of a coping mechanism surely?

The most popular gacha games are all open world. And gacha users are some of the most lonely motherfathers out there.

Also wonder about the cohort of people that routinely get overwhelmed and don't know what to do when faced with an open world

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

A recent study found that video games, especially open-world games, can help people feel less lonely and improve their emotional well-being.

Researchers found that games allowing free exploration and player choice provide comfort and a sense of control.
These virtual worlds offer a place to relax and escape daily stress,.

The study suggests that a world where “you can go anywhere and do anything” can be deeply therapeutic.
For many adults, open-world games help reduce loneliness, lower stress, and build emotional resilience.

One is a downgrade, one is an upgrade.

Can you tell which is which.

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

Fortune's Weave is seriously gonna be 30 fps on switch 2?

I sure hope there will be perf mode or something. I thought we are beyond this with S2...

Especially after playing XBX, going back to 3H and Engage feels like crap. (those should receive S2 port as well, ofc)

@digitalfoundry This is why I like KT. You can say whatever you want, but they brought the Nioh 1+2 collection with 120hz support pretty quickly to ps5 and it was amazing.

@NextGenNero The world is healing.

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

Interesting, the statement itself explains why (most) people don't want to support/play Marathon.

And yet it insists that people should support it...?

I'm not an expert but designing a game that more people want to play would have been smarter. If it's supposed to save Bungie.

[Liana Ruppert ➡️ GCX @DirtyEffinHippy]

Half the community is going to hate me for saying this, but the only way to keep Bungie alive right now is to support Marathon. People keep comparing Marathon numbers to Destiny and frankly, that's ignorant. Marathon was never designed to do Bungie numbers. The conversations about that were very upfront early. It's more aligned with Tarkov than Destiny. Completely different target markets that just so happen to have a wide intersection with Destiny target markets since it uniquely has so many.

"oh no, you won't be thinking that, also the outfits will be even more appealing"

Getting some contradictory statements, Mister.

Regardless, Evie is a downgrade by default, so they got work to do.

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

Stellar Blade: Blood Rain director says Evie's outfits will be "even more appealing" than those in the original game

Kim Hyung-tae also suggested there are no plans to tone down her designs

@GreenTextRepost Neat, what time is it?

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

Holy...

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

@WoLongOfficial I enjoyed this boss so much in that demo that I learned to no-hit him.

Then I found out people got massively filtered by him?

Really sad, he basically taught me how to play the game.

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

OK, now let's take a look at dungeons and battle animations, which is what you are ACTUALLY gonna be seeing, instead of a throwaway scene transition background.

[Tropical eaglit 🇨🇩 @GammaEaglit]

This not a good look for revival ngl 😭

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

Fuuuuuuu this game....

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

@JoshStrifeHayes That cleric art has been etched into my mind for decades. That era of crpg portraits is simply peak.

[Serial Parentheses User (real) ❄️ 🌙 🌸 @LewdologyPhD]

Not super happy about the younger protag in Stellar Blade...

Otherwise looks phenomenal, I got no clue how does it connect to SB1 though, lore wise.

They said "beyond the events" of SB1... could still mean prequel?
