I never considered Dr Pepper as a person because they made a big deal about how it doesn’t have a period in the name, like an actual doctor title would. So it’s always just been a brand name to me.

But I’m a bit neurotic about nitpicky details like that.

That’s exactly how I feel. I love this game, but I hate survival games where you have to work just to stay alive, more or less avoid enemies. Suffice to say, I play this on the easiest mode, so I don’t have to think too hard about the survival aspect.

100% agree. I backed up my Dogma DVD (as well as the rest of my DVD/Blu-ray collection) and now I enjoy them streaming through my Plex server.

You’re welcome! I have too many games and I enjoy playing and discussing them with people, which is why I post here. I sometimes forget what is in my library, so posting about a new game every day helps me to work through some games I’ve forgotten about, or discover new ones I bought in a bundle and never got around to playing.

In my opinion, there are too many news articles here about games and not enough discussion just appreciating games, so I thought I could start some conversation with these posts.

I just went to wishlist this game and discovered it was already on my wishlist. Can’t wait for this game to release! I’ll definitely have to add it to my queue of random screenshot posts here.

When I lived in Japan, there was a pachinko arcade in my town that had nothing but pachinko machines lined up in rows like slot machines in a casino. They were skinnier than this, but a couple feet taller than me, and I’m 6" even.

It’s illegal to gamble with money in Japan, but not to gamble with little metal balls, so you buy the balls, play with the machines, and sell back the balls you have left at the end. If you win more balls, then you get more money when you sell them back. A nice little legal loophole for gambling.

For anyone who doesn’t want to do the conversion, that’s 17 days.

They have potent psychic powers that manipulate reality around them

I read once that this is why they paint their vehicles red. Because they believe that red makes it go faster, and with their latent psychic ability, the red ships actually DO go faster, because they believe so strongly in it.

Every post I make to this community always gets about 9 downvotes. I think a dedicated number of them are people who just don’t want to see this kind of content. Or maybe bots, considering how the number is almost the same every time I post.

But as long as the overall vote count stays in the positives, I’ll keep posting! I like discussing the various games I play and I figure this is a great way to open discussion in the community.

this genre is a little saturated

I honestly haven’t played any other games like this; I didn’t realize this was a common genre. I caught Witch It! in beta several years ago and it’s the only game of its type I’ve seen.

One of my favorite modes of this game is “Mobification.” Basically, every time a witch is defeated, they turn into a hunter. So as you lose witches, you also gain more hunters and it gets harder to stay hidden. A very challenging game mode, but also very entertaining. And fun if you have witches that are really good at hiding. The more hunters, the easier it gets to find those sneaky witches!

Because this is a South Korean game, I felt it was only right to play it in its original Korean language (with English subtitles, because I don’t speak much Korean). English dubs on Asian works just feels weird to me.

But I lived overseas for almost a decade, so I’m used to hearing foreign languages. It feels more authentic to me to hear something in its original language. I know a lot of Americans don’t like to hear foreign languages in their movies or games though (or read subtitles while watching something), so there is English in this game if you prefer.

I also turn on subtitles anywhere I can, because I have ADHD and my brain won’t focus on auditory signals. So being able to read while someone’s talking helps me to stay focused and in-tune with the conversation. It helps to provide context in some of these screenshots though, which is a bonus.

I did mention that in the post. It’s not on the Steam store anymore, but it has an offline mode with bots, so you can still play it.

I have never owned a Coby Electronics device that worked. They’re all garbage. I actually bought a radio of theirs once, and the battery compartment was too small to fit the AA batteries it asked for! I had to literally break the plastic case so I could squeeze a couple AAs in there.

I’m so excited for this reboot! I watched the classic anime over 20 years ago, right as I was moving to Japan, and it was my introduction to anime.

My only hope is that the series has an actual ending this time. Rumiko Takahashi (the original manga creator) has a nasty habit of refusing to resolve relationship drama in her works. She feels like the story will end if people actually admit their feelings for each other; she claims that the “will they/won’t they” drama is what keeps people reading/watching her works. So she drags out the drama as long as she can, then just ends her series without actually resolving anything.

I think she had a hand in this reboot, so there’s a very good chance the love triangles (love octagons?) will never be resolved. Still, seeing a classic work (with the original Japanese voice actors!) be reborn in modern animation style is exciting and I’ll definitely be binging this show when it airs tomorrow.

Ugh… I’m in that first category. I have no idea who Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are.

This doesn’t seem like it would work. Debris falling off the trains, dusty buildup, vibrations, rocks bouncing around the tracks; heck, even just wildlife crossing the tracks. So many things are gonna damage those panels if they’re just lying on the ground between tracks, and solar panels are extremely fragile.

I hope they have some sort of bullet proof glass or something over those panels. Probably going to need a special train to spray water over them to clean regularly, too.

I dunno about Swiss trains, but the tracks behind my house in America leave a thick black film on everything, and it’s very hard to clean by hand. I think they transport coal.

I felt for Bart in this scene. Just once, I’d like to find my own name (Coby). But there are always Cody or Colby plates. Never Coby. My name is just extremely uncommon, I guess.

Yeah the game distorts your vision slightly, to add to the subtle anxiousness. You can fine-tune it in settings, but by default, it can make you feel a little unsteady and ungrounded.

I love liminal spaces. I usually experience a sort of warm, soft comfort from them. Probably from exploring my dad’s empty office building back when I was a kid. He and his secretary were the only employees, so there were tons of empty, poorly lit rooms and hallways.

But the longer I played this game, the more dread started to creep over me. Probably because I have a mild fear of deep waters, and you can’t see anything in these waters unless you’re standing right over them.
