This 100%. I’ll take it even further that this moment is about the player because it’s the first time the game actually gives you the chance to choose to take help, to take the easy way. Even though we’ve learned at this point to empathize with Nate we don’t need to fall victim to the same failings.

Giovanni Colantonio @marioprime.bsky.social · 4d

I'd actually argue that the taking the stairs is a very meaningful choice for Nate if you do it. You're kind of conditioned to be suspicious of everything the game throws at you by then. To turn away help. But the stairs aren't a trick! You don't slide down them if you fall. They're just stairs!

Y’all ever meet a guy who sucks so bad it’s got you questioning the human experience?

I’ve been playing Baby Steps, which means Zoe has been playing Baby Steps. I did not write about Baby Steps, but Zoe had a lot of thoughts… Zoe did write about Baby Steps. Enjoy the games criticism debut of @kermitthefrog.bsky.social

Wife’s new thing is seeing how far she can push me to not divorce her: “I’m just saying, it’s a lot of paperwork for one drink to the face”

I don’t know if it is titled “Call Her Daddy” as in “refer to her as daddy” or “report this to her father”

Do not mention my wedding.
However, if i bring up the subject first, then you may engage with me in that moment and offer no follow ups.

🥺 does anybody want to come over to my house and watch 4 weddings and a funeral 🥺 pls 🥺

Too many people’s only frame of reference to immersive theater is Sleep No More and it’s detrimental to the medium.

So this is a *bad* time to speak about Anaheim Supremacy, yes?

Endless Mode @endlessmode.bsky.social · Jul 8

Three classic Disney World attractions--Rivers of America, Liberty Belle Riverboat, and Tom Sawyer Island--all closed permanently this week, and the updated Magic Kingdom map looks weird without 'em. It also underscores why they maybe didn’t really need to close.

Just had my own Hilaria Baldwin onion moment talking to my sister because I couldn’t think of the english (american) way of saying aubergine. I genuinely had to google it.

When we say Clair Obscur is extremely French, much of that comes from its use of Belle Epoque aesthetics. These make the game gorgeous to look at, but are also intrinsically tied to its themes of grief, nostalgia, and the trap of wanting to get lost in the past

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s style is its substance

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 uses the visuals of the Belle Époque era to reinforce its narrative of optimism and grief.
