I remember politely telling the guy at my local Family Video that “Watership Down” should probably be removed from the kid’s section. He scoffed at me and just gave me a “yeah… mkay.”

A few weeks later, I noticed it was gone. I commented on it to a different guy this time and he said “yeeeeah, the boss’ sister brought it home for her kids. It’s gone now. Like… actually gone.”

Childhood trauma could have been avoided with that one.


Right?? I was spooked throughout the entire experience. Kept expecting something horrific to get me the whole time! Lol

So glad I finished it, though.


If I may… I’d actually put this game at the top of my list for one of the best games of all time.

Is the game itself a masterpiece? No. Not necessarily. I feel it’s very flawed in many ways. And I’ve seen many people shit on it for “squandering its potential”, which I believe is nonsense.

However… I’m not sure most people understand, but if you go into it as a sufferer of PTSD… it becomes 1000 times more powerful.

I didn’t put the puzzle pieces together until recently, actually… but around the same time I finished the game… my nightmares stopped. Gone. I still get “bad dreams” from time to time, but no absolutely horrific nightmares like I used to.

DON’T GET ME WRONG, I AM PROBABLY A RARE CASE, AND I’M NOT SAYING THAT THIS GAME WILL “”““CURE””“” ANYTHING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!! All I’m saying is that, for me, it made things… easier.

I love Superliminal. Think I always will. I’d strongly suggest that others play it, as well.




Yeah. And it allowed people to communicate and socialize without risk. It allowed people to have fun despite the dire circumstances and show off their creativity and goof off with friends amd stangers instead of focusing on the doom and giving into it.

It helped people’s mental wellness during a time where everything was not okay. To some, it made it bearable. That’s all. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.


My base with a billion aquariums full of cool alien critters definitely improves my mental well-being. ❤️


I’ve never come across an angry Stardew Valley player, tbh.

Everyone fan I’ve seen are all "Sounds good Eric! Take your time! Don’t work too hard! Take care! (: " The author of the article sounds rude about it, though.


No, but it’s on Nintendo Switch, PC/Steam, and a few other consoles, I believe!

I think it may be my favorite game of all time, so if you choose to play it, I hope you have fun!


Subnautica.

Survival. But you’re in the middle of an ocean. Good luck!




I absolutely LOVE the original Subnautica, but was frustrated with Below Zero. I’ve posted multiple rants about it on Lemmy before.

Already skeptical about this game because it looks like it has

Tap for spoiler

two characters instead of one

.

A big appeal of the first game was the isolation you felt, and the struggle to find life and accomplish gargantuan tasks.

Cautiously optimistic for this installment.

Please don’t have any characters yap & quip throughout this one, god, please!


Also a reminder that Bandai Namco patented mini-games on loading screens! Now no one else can do that.

When you patent general ideas, you rob people of an experience.

Might as well start patenting art styles at this point.


OH GOOD LAWD FINALLY THANK YOU CHEEZUS 🙏🙏🙏

It has been an absolute struggle trying to avoid spoilers.



I’ve gone on countless rants about how I loved Subnautica but loathed Below Zero.

In short, I hope that newest entry:

  • stays in the water 90-95% of the time
  • shuts up the protagonist
  • seriously… shut up. Stop talking. Shut up. Let things be mysterious.

Seriously, Subnautica is one of my favorite games of all time and one of the first to make me care about it’s world. I’m only harsh because I want to like it so badly.

Also: I felt like Below Zero was one long trailer for the next game. Especially the ending. So absolutely disappointed… my kid still remembers my indignant anger at the ending more than the actual game, and still thinks it was the funniest reaction to the ending of any game we’ve ever played.


The entire infrastructure, comic and all, is obviously all the work of the janitor, who also has to complete their cleaning duties on top of it all.

Be grateful. 🫵


Pretty sure the game was made purely to sell merch, tbh. The more eyes on it, the more they can sell “stuff”.

Also, check out what I found while out and about yesterday! Hilarious.


Does that mean it’s finally coming out of early access?




Wilmot’s Warehouse!

It’s an organizing game & you’re a little guy! (:


For sure! Fun but also very heavy in its themes.


I’m wildly surprised that no one has suggested “Papers, Please” yet.


Oh god, “Spiritfarer” can break a person.

The soundtrack really hits you deeply, too.


Thank you. Just taking things day by day, small step by small step.
