2006 was a neat game with some particularly cool bits, but 2017 is one of my favorite games of all time and pound for pound is a superior game due to 2017 being a spiritual successor to System Shock 2.

Very different games though, I don’t honestly think they should be compared directly, it was already a weird choice for Prey 2017 to receive the franchise name.

Do you consider your reeltor more correct than re-ul-tor?

Novelty is a natural part of human experience. The only way we can exist is if things are not as incredibly mind bending as the first time you see them.

We perceive reality from the moment we open our eyes upon being born. By the time you comprehend what reality is, it’s old hat. This happens to everything, from the first time you see a good movie, to the first time you drive a car on the freeway, eventually everything that we do repeatedly loses its novelty so that the human mind isn’t constantly blown by all the crazy shit going on.

If you work around forklifts, never trust the driver. Ideally they’re being safe and watching out for you, but don’t gamble on it. They’re heavier than a car and can very easily kill you or at the least break your foot and it will be an arduous healing process.

About to name my next child Humanbeard

Ahh, so once the AI can develop smarmy humor that doesn’t add anything to your discussion with it, THEN it’ll be like real people

Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson is a fucking jam

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’ve seen it too many times now for me to know if it’s really as good as I find it, but I think I’d really like it all over again if I could forget it.

Whoa whoa, you didn’t do it?! But, it might be the best decision you make in your life!

When I was reaaaaally playing too much Hitman I began to notice large containers that could fit human bodies inside.

I think you can enjoy it as a sometimes absurdist rollercoaster. It’s not necessary to hang onto every word and understand every bit of symbolism. The insanity is interesting enough and startling enough to get you by on surface level entertainment alone as long as you find craziness fun.

Sucks for you, I love barely comprehensible fever dreams! Keeps me on my toes, and I find the “is this symbolism or just insanity?” game a pretty fun thought process to have throughout

Good to hear. That was a rumor that spread around quite a bit when I was a teenager, the last time they were relevant for discussion, and I never checked it because it didn’t really matter to me if they did or not, I still liked the music. Next time they’re relevant for discussion I won’t spread it again

To that, I’d say it’s likely better if we use landmarks. Identify unique furniture or a window or something on each side. Then, refer to them as “Window side” or “Lamp side”.

That and the whole “they recorded their parts slower and sped them up” thing, but they pull it off well enough live and as long as they’re not lying about it I don’t think it really matters

I’d say it’d be from the perspective of laying in it, since no one cares what side of the bed is which unless they’re going to lay in it

Probably getting a Gameboy Color as a gift from my mom as a young child, and then one more time when my mom let me play games on her (not made for gaming) home computer while she was at work. It started me down a lifelong path of loving games, and my initial leaning towards handheld systems and then straight into PC gaming gave me a lot more flexibility with the sorts of games I enjoyed and found entertaining, alongside all of the things that the internet showed me as I explored it.

“master, why was I born?”

“So I could make a wordplay joke”

For me, the sense of place and visuals were top notch. It was extremely immersive. While that carries it far, the car was also very fun. Customizable with parts and new body styles you could find around the wastes, you put work into the car and made it your own.

The car combat is also very fun and is a kind of gameplay I still love but doesn’t get much attention nowadays, so I really enjoyed that aspect as well as the junk storms and collecting the other stealable cars. Past that, yep, it was in the format of a traditional Ubisoft open world game, but, sue me if you want, I like those kinds of games.

The grave, I would expect “From the cradle to the grave” to be describing the subject. So if the elf is marrying the old woman, then he’s robbing the old woman’s grave
