Finally done. Definitely a different vibe here than some people, but Silksong is a joy. 😌

I definitely talk about midgame spoilers to some degree, so be warned. Thank you to @trynant.bsky.social and @starrymirai.moe for proofreading.

Kayinworks - Silksong Loves You

I was, as is my normal way, not on the hype train for Silksong. I wasn't reading updates, I wasn't Silkposting. I wasn't desperately waiting for a release date. I had no emotional stakes in its existe...

The amount I laughed when I realized there was a slide JUST to launch you meant you fell off the top

The mountain sucks, but at least I'm free now. The last stretch is actually pretty nice, but the "skittering up slippery shit with no real good strategy" bits kinda make it a "do not recommend" climb.

But the fall is great

idk people hate on that game but I tend not to trust people so it's probably fine. WW has its issues

I don't necessarily even think those exact bans are good like I'm throwing them out there because they'd do SOMETHING, I'm generally distrustful of any internet regulation, but like I'd rather something ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING rather than just be theater.

Age is definitely not the problem at all lmao. I've been online for a while since I'm turning 31 soon but my mental health still DRAMATICALLY declined when I finally got a cellphone which wasn't until like... around this time of year in 2017

Yeah my general wish would be that nothing would HAVE to happen because people would DO shit but clearly that isn't working out

bans are popular because its easy, the alternative would be admitting that an entire generation of parents and educators have failed their children

oh I think that having 15 year olds who have had no exposure to an ai slop riddled internet will certianly not be oneshot when given access to it without stuff like online saftey classes

Every law like this seems to have the energy of "we don't know what would actually help so we're just going to do something that sounds meaningful even though we have no reason to think this will solve any problem."

The aus ban is such shitty legislation too, all the experts consulted were like, “this isn’t going to help and it’s too easy to circumvent”. But our spineless labor party pushed it through because it’s “popular”

I feel like if you wanted to ban stuff in a way to make people less mentally harmed by the internet, you'd ban infinite scroll algo feeds and autoplay videos. All ages, full stop.

@standing720.bsky.social OKAY BITCH I NEED BACKUP FROM SOMEONE WHO JUST PLAYED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME

Kayin @kayin.moe · 3h

I feel like the problem here is the idea that 15 year olds can't handle social media but adults can

Denmark is planning to ban children under 15 from using social media, following Australia's world-first laws to curb social media use among teenagers.

Tell me about the BM version?

I never played Black Mesa cause the premise wasn't something I was very interested in. I've had some people tell me I should play it JUST to see zen though so maybe one day

I cannot stress how good the writing in Baby Steps is. I’ve described it as if you did Silent Hill characterization in a comedy. Really beautiful, largely improvised, magical realist narrative aimed directly at its audience.

Writing on Games @writingongames.bsky.social · 5h

I know I keep talking about it but I just finished Baby Steps. That ending got me choked up. Honestly my favourite game I've played in god knows how long. This feels like a real all-timer for me. Absolutely everything about it just feels so... perfect. I'm properly giddy about it all. ART, MAN

I feel blessed that most of the people who follow me take my takes in good faith and know I'm down to talk about shit or even take some sass back.

IT'S STILL GOOD, it just feels weird when its held up with a lot of other games when it's... the weird.. content tour it is

Kayin @kayin.moe · 7h
