I hear the DRM is horrendous
Pirating Chanus is a moral imperative.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Children and a higher-than-median amount of guys with facial tattoos. Because there’s a medium security prison there as well. Figured we hit a time where a lot of people were heading back after one-day paroles.

@Atomika what the hell are you talking about
I’m struck about why they work so well for me
I find them deeply meditative experiences
Almost the entire design philosophy of games is rejected
They want you to slow down, to be deliberate, intentional
I suspect a large part of why people bounce off them is because people specifically aren’t looking for that experience in gaming
Think of all the money will save, and all the options you will have to configure every everything yourself.
Their character models never seem quite human, it’s some uncanny valley shit. They never quite act human, they look a little too polished and plastic (especially for whatever task they’re beset by), and their clothing is always just a little … wrong.
They’re like the spaghetti western version of games, filtered and translated just a few too many times through a few too many layers.
But it’s a little person. Wearing a clown suit.
They eat robots, that's just what happens.
People bounce off of them because
They are a mirror
A reflective surface
And what bounces off of reflective surfaces?
Lasers
Therefore, FromSoft fans are lasers

Reminds me of the dialog from Cryptonomicon about how in Germany they do not use a word for addict, instead they are drug-seeking
My wife's work completed a merger with another company like a year ago and they've been combining systems and branding and untangling a bunch of stuff. One of the things is a particular suite of branding the purchased company used previously, and my wife was putting together a press release saying that "access to [old brand name software] is going to be terminated on X date, and users will be migrated into [new brand name software]."
Legal was like, you can't make reference to [x], it's against policy to not use the most current branding!
To which my wife, in relaying the story to me, hit on the same problem as I did: uh, we can't say X is going away with referring to X; this isn't using outdated branding for like, marketing material, this is literally informing them of the termination of X. Stop doing cargo cult policy and fucking read what is in front of you!
FromSoft games perfected: naked man yeets through with 2H club
A lot of jargon is going this way
Homeless —> “facing housing scarcity”
Chronically ill—> “healthcare dependent”
Unemployed —> “employment hiatus”
As opposed to high school, where the naked man yeeting through campus was with the 4H Club
That's not what legal gets paid for
Legal gets paid to point out anything that might potentially maybe be a problem, never concretely answer whether or not it actually is a problem, and then say their prayers to Corpus Juris Secundum and American Jurisprudence, 2d that they will never actually have to be in a courtroom.
Neat. It's probably a good thing that we try to use more-precise language, or at least language that doesn't annihilate the underlying person and turn them into [blank].
yeah, other way to in cases like autism and such where folks now accept or demand it to be part of their identity.
*stands in front of wall and does wall dance*
I get that, but dumb in-house counsel annoy me, professionally.
Ugggggggh argle bargle

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH holy shit what an absolute masterclass in malicious compliance. I love it, I know [chat]'s basically politics free these days but this is just such a goddamn hilarious middle finger that I can't help but want to post it in here.
It's okay I don't even speak a word of Ikea.
but they're listening to every word I say
lmao what?
Nothing in RE4 is to be taken seriously. It's Army of Darkness: The Video Game.
You are supposed to be giggling and then sweating as you flee through dark dungeon tunnels from a huge man with all his orifices sewn shut and swords for hands
And you to, Bioshock Infinite, for the last time: Fuck you for sucking.
