Hey, stop trying to counterspell my efforts!
You're a delight! Surviving is an effort and counts! We need no Valhalla, for the feast of the great and mighty is your kitchen table!
(Please be kind to yourself. You are valued for you, not what you bring. Thrilled to have you regardless of outcome)

That said, that mentality spreads to a lot of media. Many people remember their first impressions more than the full text, and there's no dialogue that can grow from that. The result is nostalgia for potential, the mute worship for iconography stripped of context. It's frustrating, to say the least.

It really does align with the park's goals in the films: expectation over authenticity. Still, it's weird on a meta level to tame a Jurassic Park game's chaos for personal comfort. It's like deciding the real problem with the Torment Nexus ride simulator was the turbulence.

HYPE! This year's calendar is still next to me and manages to brighten every day so far. I can't wait!

Yeah, it translated to me spending a coin at the totem for the no-penalty blessing every life (and once you get a feel for things, it's easy to keep coin positive).
I see the appeal on paper, and it still makes me play more carefully, but as you said, I want combat to feel tighter for those stakes.

30-minute preamble of Raids Shadow League and World of Tanks ads before suddenly wrapping up. The follow-up video with the "real" content is for his patreon supporters. There are ten patron tiers, each one insisting the real content is behind the next paywall. The final tier is just a malware link.

Agreed. Identifying your own baggage is vital for criticism, editing, and healthy fandom. To oversimplify, criticism has 3 facets:
1. What was this piece trying to do?
2. What does this piece actually deliver?
3. How do I feel about 1 and 2?
Recognizing yourself and your expectations is key.

Yeah! You can claim you're only building a protocol, but it's *your* instance of the protocol! Pretending it's a demo just means you're also showing an example of what moderation should look like. People are allowed to criticize those choices, especially when you ghost questions or "waffles" them.

HYPE! I know you mentioned being worried if your cadence would come through, and you absolutely nailed the prose. You're able to tie all these scattered pieces and weave them into a cohesive experience! Excellent exploration of the vibes! This was an absolute treat!

Now that I've given my comments/views for the video (great job!), thanks so much for putting this on my radar with your early teases of this review! Fully agree on the friction and pressure being a positive. It kept me scrabbling for every advantage I could get (no hoarding for later). What a treat!

Just gotta say, I'm here for the infodumping. Your passion is the equivalent of prescription glasses: I get to "see it" (and you're very good at picking out the vibes, for both the intention and actual result).
You've got a captive audience. We're here because we like your thoughts!

Yeesh, that does sound scummy. With all the new IP, I imagine this is probably many people's first time. It's frustrating to see so much goodwill burned for such fixable, straightforward issues. Thank you for the Hauntisseur perspective!

Is the bummer about the no-scare necklaces the price or the fact the necklaces exist at all? I'm not quite as familiar with the base experience to be able to tell.

Thanks Chris. It's telling when people start using trolley problem math before the station's even built.
Party choices aren't inevitable or unchangeable. If people are signaling that this is a dealbreaker this early on, then leadership ignoring that is choosing to forfeit those votes.

Given that he's been holding onto the X branding idea since at least the Paypal era, I think he's trying to be cool/funny to the terminally online crowd. Forcing it into public discourse is part of the punchline, not the target audience.
He wants to be funny but has the instincts of a five-year-old

Ooo, that's a good way of putting it. When the extrinsic rewards are so superficial and interchangeable, the locations start to feel interchangeable as well. If the gameplay systems aren't deep enough to make exploration intrinsically rewarding, either, then the only hook is just extended novelty.

Shadows of Doubt is a systems game, both as an immersive sim (lots of breaking in for evidence/information) and connecting information to a specific person/location. It's like slowly creating a library card catalogue through burglary and cross-references.
So not bad, but not Golden Idol-esque.

Well, knowing you, it's either guano or a pun with a kill count. Either way, I'm answering.

Yeah, there really is a shift from "I reject your premise entirely" (still annoying, but participating) to "Your post has nothing to do with me or my interests" (absolutely useless).
It's the hard opposite of parasocial. You don't see OP as a person, just malleable content that should cater to you.
