  • You just mentioned the reason why I think a lot of capitalists use blackmail and weird rituals to keep one another in line. They bind one another through socially pressured pedophilia, or drug use, or even simple stuff like lies about how much money they actually have.

    Although I haven’t really figured out if this is to make the public think that capitalists aren’t bound together (by having their connections more secretive) or because there are genuine disagreements between different sectors of bourgeoisie. I can’t imagine every capitalist is fully aware of the game.






  • Control has some of the smoothest…uh, controls I’ve ever experienced. The telekinesis ability always picked up what I wanted. Jumping and floating is perfect. Movement is quick and flowy.

    Just good. Satisfying. Sound design is really good too. Also level design. I don’t remember ever being lost even though most of the game takes place in grey featureless corridors. Also the music? I really respect what they were going for, which I think was to have no melody or chords or anything. All of it is percussion or odd foley sounds. It doesn’t sound like identifiable instruments, so it’s this otherworldly clicking and pulsing noises but it’s never unfamiliar enough to be grating.

    It’s so good. Alan Wake 2 is good too. Remedy usually knocks it out of the park, but a consequence of that is their games take forever. They spend a lot of time and polish on everything they do.







  • Honestly I think the same of Pentiment too. I don’t know why anyone likes it. These games made me rethink everything I thought about Obsidian.

    I got recommended Pentiment because so many people said it’s like a medieval Disco Elysium. It’s more like a very bland tedious game about why the invention of the printing press was sad because it meant fewer people worked at monasteries. Maybe I got the wrong message but the game is just blah. It has cool graphics though


  • A lot of the missions are like that, but some of them are like a choice between: begrudgingly giving all power to a mustache twirling capitalist and then everything is boring, but safe

    Or you choose a local union or anarchist or something and they instantly fuck everything up and make everyone mad, but you’ll probably get to shoot a lot of people so who can say if this is good or bad
