on shrooms for the first time right now. shrooms livetweet. literally having epiphanies like "oh I don't have to eat a burger tonight if I don't want to"
have never felt more like a dumb american than tonight when, while sitting in a mcdonald's in amsterdam, I opened google maps on my phone and typed in "wendy's"
McDonald’s in the heart of Amsterdam is just Fever Dream McDonald’s
1 You can get exactly 9 chicken nuggets
2 Spicy Orange ice cream sundae (???)
3 It costs 1 euro to go to the bathroom
4 Roving gangs of Spanish teenagers who are all dressed exactly the same

@catb0mb@FPSthetics re: imsim-ish elements, even in those more open areas your choices are mostly scripted and context-dependent, definitely not as sandbox-y as hitman with actions that are repeatable across areas. still a lot of fun though, WOA is one of my all-time favs and I think 007 is a blast
@catb0mb@FPSthetics in some ways it will scratch the same itch, in other ways it won't. player freedom is very much still a focus but imo it applies more during enemy encounters than during level exploration, which often feels more on-rails than I would like despite a few incredibly fun open areas.
@DakKhuza@Cuneyt_S_Sevi imo Joseph Anderson can be a bit of a crapshoot between "actually knows how to write essays" and "just makes plot summaries." I enjoy his takes on gameplay/mechanics, but anytime he talks about story it devolves almost instantly into summary with surface-level interjections.
@feelbadjazz @schlgenheim did you include Great Dog / 6-1 / Harsh Degrees?? I love DTP but that run is a little much even for me sometimes, I know it would make my coworkers fuckin evaporate
@kewchysupremacy@TwinkTheory the movie pretends it's a bloody revenge thriller, you're supposed to think she's going to violently murder the first guy. the twist is that she doesn't and instead just says "you've been a very naughty boy you shouldn't rape people" and then walks the fuck out
