world’s first and maybe only hippy game. very slow and dazey, even sludgey. usually cannot vibe w the vast majority of platformers bc my reflexes are absolutely fucked and I just don’t fuck w games that are challenging or fast like rlly at all. skill issue or how about more aptly a preference issue. these last couple years I’ve been trying to take everything more leisurely, to calm down and take things not just in stride but w patience too. this game is like that idea in video game form which is rlly fucking cool. and bc it’s so slow and tired I didn’t fall off of it like I do w metroid or mario, those are cool games sure but idk idgaf bc I’m eepy and everything makes me so nervous I don’t need games to make me nervous too lol. cool vacation beachy fucking vibes here too even in the darker worlds like it all feels like one small little adventure, a nice sightseeing tour. idek what I’m trying to say but I live in an area most would consider like a vacation hotspot but so often it’s loud and aggressive in a way I don’t vibe w unfortunately, I like playing short breezy adventures bc there’s smth very no thoughts head empty about it and I like that. was playing this at like ten am the other day bc got woken up by a storm and couldn’t fall asleep for a few hours but after playing this for like half an hour/2 levels I got drowsy and tired and fell tf back asleep for a bit. shit made me wanna go to the beach and get an arizona tea and maybe like some sushi and relax and look at the waves crash into one another, I haven’t done that in a while and I’m going to later this week :-)

tbh I don’t understand how ppl can write so many words about this game and make so many vids about it idk ig im built diff. not saying that as like a dig either, I listened to a few of those essays and thought they all were rlly well made but idgaf about the mechanics of this or how wario handles or w/e. I got everything I need out of this bc the first level I played has maybe one of the cutest songs I’ve ever heard and the last level I played has a stoned looking dragon painted on a wall that looks like it belongs in a mini golf place

-that’s what the mask is….that’s what the point of the mask is (fr though i never understood what the fuck the point of the mask was in the game)
-played w my bf while way too high which def seems to be the best way to experience all of these lol
-i like the lame lore 8bit parts I think they’re rlly cute tbh and almost makes dying seem justified/like a good thing which sucks u into a very repetitive and addicting gameplay loop
-wow sucks that the homophobe dude was pretty good at making games and even better acting in them lol

-cute game, rlly beautiful and expressive sprites tbh, just not my type of thing rlly but also so fucking short it never outstays its welcome.
-dude i remember when ppl were being sooo fucking annoying about this being delisted and after playing it i rlly don't get it lmao. like idk kinda feel this way about most "lost media", def stuff should be more accessible but also idk i don't think it was a great travesty that this was gone for a long time. played through w my boyfwend and we kept doing impressions of soyjack reddit ppl, was lots of fun
-borderline unplayable without cheats, or at least was for us as we're both v bad at games.
-tbh never read the comics till this month bc i hate the movie version sm. edgar wright retire bitch. think the movie portrays scott and his actions and his relationship w women in a rlly fucking gross incel-like way that i have never fucking vibed w. does not help that michael cera is only good at playing scary weird ppl like in magic magic or this is the end, anytime they cast him as a good guy i get so mfn geeked out.
-finally did read the comics after watching the series and i think they're both like pretty expertly done. esp in terms of characterization of knives, character is almost an afterthought in the movie where as she's rlly focal in everything else and for good reason. so much of the comic is about how everyone is looking to take advantage and manipulate her mostly bc of her age. shit made me miss old friends and rethink past actions.
-that post about infinite jest and empathy but about me and this series tbh
-why in the movie is the knee joke about the only lesbian character and how it basically boils down to haha a cismale made a lesbian cum hahahah like thats fucking weird esp considering in the comic that's a joke about envy like why was it changed to roxie edgar wright ur fucking weird dude!!
-think the series might be the better version though, think it's rlly smart in how it goes about reckoning w a problematic past and updating it for modern audiences and like how one can right their wrongs, real good shit tbh.
-i love young neil ^__^
-why tf was wallace added into the game three years after it came out lmfaooo

“I'm a thin girl do I fucking look like I play video games? I'd rather play dead at a necrophilia convention.“ meee anytime a man tries to talk to me about video games

the space that’s between insane (mall goth/scene girl) and insecure (tumblr grunge)

written like weird and cynical pomo books of the 90s, underneath that hate there’s a lot to be said about how sad and listless the experience of being a teenager in general is and esp when ur shaped at a rlly young age from traumatic events that had nothing to do w u. most of the characters r just rlly sad and depressing ppl but cover that up w irony, zillenial ass vn. think nicole is like so insanely well written esp w how she deals w her trauma.

one of the only pieces of media ive consumed where it rlly gets across how sociopathic and entitled being a teenage girl is. ik this was written by a man but more often than not I felt that this was fairly empathetic towards the women in the game. think “hell is a teenage girl” type media only works for me as parody or melodrama, when aiming for realism it kind of falls entirely flat for me bc being a teenage girl feels too big to be constrained as realistic fiction. it’s why margaret (2011) hits hard for me but lady bird (2017) doesn’t

lowk huge into every single ending just being on a sliding scale of bad, there’s no true or good ending, it just all sucks lol. much like how being a teenage girl in hs sucked and much like how there’s no true experience to that or to womanhood in general. rlly rlly cynical worldview so I do get if someone doesn’t fuck w it but for me it worked so wonderfully bc wasn’t scared to show realistic scenarios and conversations just done through a v heightened way

new millennium princesses

one of those incredibly special stories that resonates so hard and reminds u oh YEAH i was a rlly bad person oh yeah im still physically the same person and even if I think ive changed for the better that doesn’t necessarily mean the ppl ive hurt think the same but yeah whatever oh well it’s like the baby thinks im a piece of shit sketch from i think u should leave

in love w how midwestern this feels like everything just happens at dairy queens or dave and busters or diners. there’s nothing to do in towns like these so it makes sense why some incredibly privileged ppl end up the way they do. still find nicole’s story to be incredibly empathetic and cathartic for me

the backgrounds for each scene r so underappreciated in how they look, consistently blurring the lines between reality and not, dude could make like a rlly good horror game one day this is like basically one tbh

tbh girls i think a few of u should change your profile pics to anything but her. feel like that stupid tiktok audio that’s like we can’t allllll be donatello. it’s like true lol like which character has more profile pics on here lammy or asuka

don’t understand rhythm games and honestly never fucking will, my coordination is like actually so bad lol. so played this w cheats on and still couldn’t beat a single level but I did see them all and watched all the very cute cuntscenes. skill issue or w/e
big mtv animation/early adult swim vibes going on here. cool mixture of a bunch of diff aesthetics and styles and everything feels so bouncy and alive. lammy’s reflection on that guys teeth is rly fucking cool. reminds me of like mission hill or downtown or like home movies/metalocalypse, great stuff. prob the best loading screens in any game.

sara ramirez is genuinely such a funny person, rlly like her in and just like that even though that’s like not a great show where it would be so easy to phone it in I think their work there kind of elevates the rest of the show. doing like lazy pothead bimbo-cent here and it fucking rules honestly
parappa looks like dominic fike, should reboot it w him lmao

-that aint drip that’s sweat ‼️‼️ ass ending
-david lynch truly ruined media literacy for generations. not only that but he ruined how ppl conceptualize and empathize w rural america. in rural america the supernatural and paranormal take on real tangible presences bc these backroads of america exist to oppress each new generation. i grew up in a town where there was countless paranormal stories, glowing cemetery headstones and cars that when turned off at the top of the hill move on their own these are stories made to distract people from how tiresome and boring and dull and seemingly inescapable these lands are. my hometown was also very infamous for like having a meth problem. there’s smth to be said about the correlation of rural america’s fascination w the otherworldly and it’s rampant violence/racism/sexism/drug use, how made up stories are easier to comprehend than having to realize the horror stories come from our own sleepy towns. calling smth lynchian kind of just proves your own privilege and shortsightedness lmaooo. idk rural america is not quirky or weird it’s just hollow and depressing and I think this game nails it where someone like lynch never could and any comparisons between the two are so surface level and rlly only present in the first chapter.
ive seen every lynch thing besides the 2nd and 3rd seasons of twin peaks and rlly this does not have any specific vibe that made me think oh yeah lynch. I did however think of the late 90s scooby doo movies and I know what u did last summer and the original version of the fog at least in terms of map designs.
-ive seen a bunch of ppl saying the enemy designs are all very basic which sure yeah but i dont think that’s a bad thing and if anything serves as more thematic tissue of how ppl in this town are disposable for the darkness. plus I like how many of them get their own unique voice lines which are cute.
-bret easton ellis ref…sam lake go on the pod bitch
-episode three is rlly interesting mechanically as it turns the lights on you instead and puts you in the role of the enemies that you’ve spent the prior two episodes killing, it’s cool and reminds me a lot of like what if the prague chapter from mgs4 was actually uhhhh good. i like when games strip you from the central mechanics and powers of the playable characters and make you weak/vulnerable
-have only played the base game as of rn…will get to the dlc and american nitemare soon/eventually. feel like I’ll love nitemare bc rlly into the big wide open maps the base game has and how there’s plenty of ways to go about enemy encounters,,fun stuff that makes u think more logically about each fight. want to play alan wake 2 real bad but it’s seemingly the only reason to own a next gen console rn !

why she got the femcel phenotype 😭😭

(think y’all are kind of hating unwarrantedly…think y’all are looking back at both your own lives as teenagers and at the silent hill franchise w rose tinted glasses. the series has def been more subtle in the past but not that much more so. besides subtlety is definitely dead in 2024,, idk if there’s a place for it anymore and that’s okay !! and idk teenagers are just kind of like this,, whiny and self victimizing,, ik I was. so like yeah the writing can be a little bit cringey ig but teenagers are so fucking cringey and lame that I can’t help but to view it w empathy. more so viewing the writing w empathy than what the actual characters are going through,, like parts of dialogue and thought processes do hit and seem like smth an insufferable 19 yo would say. and the dev team def knew what they were cooking,, most of the things they’ve worked on seem real cool and full of interesting ideas. graffiti is so cool lol and the there’s so many small details in every room of the game,, my ass was rubbernecking and abusing that zoom in feature. loved all the maya scenes,, genuinely think the bad lipsyncing rlly adds to the “UNCANNY VALLEY” look and feel of those scenes,, need to jack her zip up turtleneck frfr. think this works rlly well as like a proof of concept type thing for a longer rouguelike type of sh game,, id be there for it. also like def there is smth to be said about how this game handles delicate and sensitive topics and that’s a very valid discussion to have but hmmm none of y’all are having it,, idk maybe you guys are just still mad that pt wasn’t made even though if it was you’d all be complaining so idk. hard to please asses.)

in conclusion. KREMIT PUTTING EVERYONE BISNESS OUT THERE IM FUCKING MISS PIGGY .YOU MAD OR NAHH YOU DAMN RIGHT IT AIN'T NONE OF YOUR BISNESS NOW STFU AND KEEP DRINKING THAT NASTY ASS TEA.
