There's also themes related to Jigoku and buddists hell where people pay penance before reincarnation. (See the japanese cover art for the sh4 soundtrack)
While I can see the original team silent knowing the basics of christianity, I really kinda doubt they know anything about mormons.

The background myth is very clearly based on the myth of Izanami, particularily the part where she dies giving birth to a fire god and descends into the yomi, the land of the dead.

I'd really appreciate if writers these days took a look at their characters doing therapyspeak and whether that's appropriate for their work and their world.

By "therapyspeak" I mean speaking like this: "This is the emotion I'm feeling, and feeling that emotion makes me want to act in a way"

Of course the actual story does not come anywhere close to living up to the headline, and I have to admit I'm a little disappointed

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Guess we found out who the Silent Hill 2 Circumcision poster was

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2d

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Man, these later generation Digimon really forgot the design ethos of the original series.

Its trying to contort several story structures into a 1 narrative guide that doesnt work cause there's no thought regarding it. It makes no sense because its attempting to force a 3 act structure on everything.
So you get this mess attempting to encapsulate all stories, and understands none of them

Yes, but also it has the worst parts of foss design. Its interface and methods of dealing with interaction are obtuse and poorly thought out. And its power users can best be described as "linux users but worse"

Alright, we got the NDA, which means if you want to work with @pabastien.bsky.social and me on a first person halo-style game demo, and you've got game design skills and want to help on the demo in the hopes we can get funding and pay you to come work on it full time, my DMs are open

I am currently working up a document of everyone who has reached out so far.

Here's some early teaser images by @pabastien.bsky.social who's been doing a bunch of vis-dev and worldbuilding.

The plan is just to make one very fun level and combat sandbox together, see where it goes after.
