  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch

    i was not terribly discerning

    which is not to say my tastes were indiscriminate

    just bad
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    It probably isn't as good as I remember it.

    Don Bluth's films were always so melancholy seeming to me as a kid.

    Did you know webcomics master KC Green had a podcast.

    I did not.

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    is it bad that, when thinking of the standard "save the princess" plot, I always think it would be better to be the princess
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    is it bad that
  • oh god

    I'm finally watching The Room and I just got to the "You're TEARING ME APART, Lisa" part and oh god this movie is gold holy hell

    a magic case? for me?
  • The sadness will last forever.
    yes
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    woohoo
  • I just lost 7 1/2 hours of Dark Souls gameplay for no good reason.

    I hate everyone.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I just beat Contra III: The Alien Wars, but only by cheating

    game is damn near impossible
  • well, movie's over

    it was enjoyable in a bad sense. the story could've (and probably would've) been better in a shorter context and if it weren't done in such a way that it felt like parts were repeating themselves, but if it were better it wouldn't be The Room so yeah

    also I did legit kind of find it sad when Denny found Johnny's dead body but only really for the fact that it was a kid seeing his kinda-sorta-not-really dad having killed himself, not because of any particular love for the characters

    also also what the heck was up with Denny and the drug thing? that never got explained, nor did Claudette's breast cancer thing (though that did make that line rather hilarious in retrospect)
  • It took me a few seconds before I realized you were watching The Room.

    Aren't you a bit young to be watching a five-minute-long sex scene?
  • you are never too young to watch graphic and/or explicit movies

    i was like 6 when i watched monty python's the meaning of life all the time and look how i turned out wait no
  • seriously I'm really fucking mad about this. Every response I've gotten has been a condescending "well you should've known that going in" what kind of a fucking answer is that I should not have to read a wiki in its entirety before I can not accidentally invalidate half a day's worth of gameplay.

    Shhhhh it's okay, it's nothing I haven't seen before. I can handle it. Scout's honour!

    Speaking of, yeah, those were very long and took up like half the movie because there were like five. I didn't go in expecting it to have so much but gahdamn.

    I guess you could say it was my first experience with softcore, except it wasn't really intended to be such and the movie's too plot-heavy (hehe) to be a porno anyway.
  • I just hate everybody right now.

    So I mean I'm left with the decision of whether I want to start over or make the game harder for myself by playing an unoptimized character.
  • If it helps, I offer my condolences.

    I've heard the wildest things involving that game even without saving issue frakkery. :/
  • there is "difficulty" and there is "we put this in the game out of an arbitrary desire to make people angry"
  • i want to work in a library when i grow up
  • put what in the game exactly?

    It's not even a decision I made. The character in question is trapped in a barrel, and I hit the barrel, assuming it would free him. It didn't, it killed him. In one hit.

    You have to roll into the barrel to free him unharmed.

    In the interest of full disclosure Odradek told me this but it's the sort of thing that's easy to gloss over and even easier to forget because it's so fucking arbitrary.
  • no screw this I'm deleting my save and starting over.

    this is so fucking dumb.
  • whelp

    that right there's the exact reasoning I'm scared to even try that one out, how apparently impossible things get at times if you don't know everything about everything related to the game's mechanics

    I guess it's a certain type of game for a certain type of person. A couple of my homies on Tumblr love it, but they're hardcore. Much stronger men than I, fo' sho.
  • The sadness will last forever.
    sad that the first 2 silent hills lost their source codes
  • The sadness will last forever.
    looks like selling my copy of silent hill 2 was a bad idea
  • of course maybe deleting my save file is even dumber.

    I don't know, I feel like I've just had the worst prank ever pulled on me and I know if I complain about it to anyone who is actually familiar with the game they'll just say that's part of the point.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

    i want to work in a library when i grow up

    me too, but it's too late for me

    also, I would not play a game that had something that stupid in it
  • being a librarian requires a master's degree


    the median pay is 26.20 an hour


    i like can't even imagine making that much money

    Isn't it basically an extended bird flip to the crowd that finds JRPGs and other games "too easy?" Generally that's the gist I've gotten from how people talk about it.

    Of course, I'm the kind of guy who won't even want to bother with a game if it's too hard unless I become obsessive (insert aside glare at any and all entries in That One Series Of French Platformers You All Know I'm Referring To here) or it hooks me to a point where I don't want to leave it unfinished (Mirror's Edge in particular was like that). In that case, I usually keep trying at it, but with stuff like Ninja Gaiden and Demon's/Dark Souls that's difficult from the get-go I don't really have that initiative.
  • that said, most of the people who work at the library are not librarians


    i guess that makes things easier for me
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I volunteered at a library once, working in the periodicals section.

    It was the best job I ever had, except for not getting paid
  • No, Dark Souls has a lot going for it. The combat is interesting (and a fair bit more strategic than most games that have combat in them at all), the worldbuilding is great, the art direction is fantastic etc. etc. etc. but there are just some things thrown in that don't seem to be in there for any good reason other than "the head director is one of those people".

    There's a second NPC that can give my Pyromancer her basic class features but she's apparently really hard to find (I'm going to have to use a guide), requires you to give yourself a debuff, and doesn't show up until much later in the game. Keep in mind the Pyromancer is the noob class. Silly me for not picking the Sorcerer I suppose.
  • the difficulty isn't really the problem, things like that aren't difficulty, they're just dumb.
  • i currently volunteer at the library

    i shelve dvds and shred paper and delete books for 4 hours a week
