A lot of people don’t know this, but the name Scissorhands was chosen because of the character’s distinctive fingers.

I really enjoyed the game but these vistas felt hollow to me. They were pretty to look at but, since I knew the playable area was very small, there wasn’t a lot of reason to look at them. Contrast this to Elden Ring where the vistas were used to guide navigation and exploration.

This movie is so good.

IMO The Sims 2. Improved “wants/fears” system, fully 3D visuals, customizable neighborhoods, genetics, etc. If you haven’t played either, start with 2.

I love this game but people criticized the reliance on fal’cie and l’cie in dialog, no reason to look away from the minimap, and slow rollout of battle mechanics. In an era of Assassin’s Creed and Mass Effect, it felt limited and lifeless.

I think what people actually want is a game of similar scope, gameplay and tone. I agree that no sequel to BK will ever match the idealized memories people have in their heads.

I got stuck on this boss too 😭 I eventually powered through but I had to try so many times.

You’re dangerously close to inventing meatloaf.

A classic.

They put on an excellent live show. Here’s hoping you get them!

I, personally, would never play a game that hadn’t been approved by The Internet.

The expectations for that role were sky high and she crushed it. She’d deserve it for sure.

Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Inscryption. Apparently I like slightly creepy, somewhat dark, mystery games. 😅

I reinstalled it last night! Time just melts away with that game.

Square has been showing Xbox a lot of love lately, I wonder if we’ll get a Final Fantasy port 👀
