To be completely, 100% honest the * Souls games. I really wish I had the patience for a game to just completely break me down as a person and make me feel like shit constantly, but sadly I do not lol.

it's def. a bit of an acquired taste, at least it was for me

i STRUGGLED and DIED through semen's tolls only because a friend insisted it was THE best thing ever

and yeah somehow i beat it eventually but i was kinda just glad it was over and i didn't really enjoy much of the experience (though even then i still thought the really great parts were actually really great, and the ending is extremely stylish and rules)

  • Among Us
  • st]
i've noticed that social deduction in general just works MUCH better in a tabletop format. a lot gets lost in translation to the screen. among us is actually one of the better attempts, and i think if the non-impostors had more to do it would be a lot more engaging

Among Us also benefits from following up Town Of Salem as the popular social deduction video game. Town Of Salem fucking sucks

I genuinely don't think there's been reasonable hype for a Sonic game since Sonic Adventure, at this point Sonic fans get exactly what they deserve lol

TF2 suffers heavily from its updates. Overwatch does as well at this point

among us really was a "you had to be there" type of game. you really had to be there, playing with friend groups while it was popular. and it was really fun. i honestly dont really like that theyve expanded the game with roles and stuff, i kinda liked when it was more simplistic

I love to deceive and revel in any socially acceptable way to flex that muscle I can find.

hmm befuddlement

actually among us is one of the only games i can think of where that's a central gameplay principle lol

maybe that's part of what makes among us so unique

Also for the longest time I didn't understand the appeal of Call of Duty. Though to be fair, the ones I had played were all of the early ones.


It's definitely not as iconique as Halo (imo) and for the love of god it takes us way too much fucking space fuck;
