It sucks that every online space for a media property is like this now, almost without exception and it's something I really chafe against
Like no I don't consider myself in the "CnC fandom", I'm just here for occasional or potential news updates on a franchise I love; no more tbh
were that the "Metaphor Refantazio Fandom" isn't very active and like ... what do you want, here? It's a (very good!) single player game you play once, digest for a bit after, and then move past until you feel like doing a replay
I don't get the need for 'more' than that?
A thing that's been making me feel increasingly alienated as years go on is I don't really understand fandom culture, specifically the part where you continue engaging with a community/discussions about a game long after your time with it is over
I saw a poster talk about how disappointed they
I think a lot of problems of why the web sucks now are downstream of the digital barons saying "I want the web to be a public square - a few websites that everyone has to share" instead of a more siloed and segregated experience and this is a big, big one of them
First major game for 2026 down: Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth. A good (?) game I had a lot of thoughts about so I wrote some of them down. Trying something new, but was fun setting it all up and writing it out:

The amount of blood I've had taken in the last 2 months is ridiculous, but on the bright side I've probably got the lowest microplastics of my peers now
I have to respect his mom tbh; getting some percocet for him is the swindle of the century
yooooo Magnesium supplements, my beloved
One of those days where I cannot speak my mind about current events
I would love to get into Lego big time but fuck me the prices are so unjustifiable for mass produced plastic bricks
or idk if this is 'new' (last 8 years) development and fandom culture has permeated gaming communities and brow beaten the older, cynical culture
just as toxic either way, imo
idk why the stigma of game subreddits is to be hellishly bashful places - my overwhelming experience with them is they're all positive to the point of toxicity and become a no negativity allowed space where reasonable gripes/critique are thrown into that bucket
(no smoke to your friends and anyone who genuinely loves the lifestyle - it works for them and that's fantastic)
Feel like making it a content mill for yourself would
1) Kill your passion for it by making it an obligation more frequent than you want to do it organically
2) Would turn into that "my lizard's instagram" video levels of stress over maintaining it
I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”
The way it's becoming the norm for people to censor their posts like they're on Maplestory nowadays is so fucking embarrassing
I don't even think the filter/censor stuff is true; just an over exaggerated urban legend, and even if it were, still not worth doing it to very serious subjects
Getting myself hype like Charlie Brown and the football for the 8th time now
I want it to be good so fuckin bad
hell yes brother
thank u for being one of like 6 people with reasonable takes calling it out in that thread, I was (and still am) going a bit insane at the replies
the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors
The research is weak and specious and no serious agencies or institutions are really corroborating it
1 final one for LOTR: ROTK for ps2 is beating my ass
dedicate myself to being mostly up to date on only a few channels total
rip to the other ones, but even a moderate discord of like 30-50 people can be impossible to catch more than a small amount of
ooooo I haven't played BP, ty ty ty for the rec!
Obra Drinn will be such a good couch co-op time w/ the hubby I think
Omori really hit recently, Obra Dinn was really good for a detective/investigation game, Nier Automata is up there for sure
in my top 3 or 5 of all time, which is crazy for how recent the playthrough was
absolutely phenomenal and it's a shame you can't recapture the feel of the first play other than by watching LPs or something
Think the era of $80-$90CAD game is where I get pushed back into just pirating everything I can again, and I'm not really feeling apologetic about that
I buy stuff on sale when I can if it's something I'm down to wait 3-5 years for, but shit is ridiculous
I had never played either before. It's absolutely nutty how much better Super Mario Land 2 is over the first
