Thanks a metric fuckton for @getgianni.com for his amazingly terrifying reading of the game's back cover pat description. (Plus a few other Certified Gianni moments 🙏💩🙏)

My new video is Out!
Today I'm doing something a bit different. We're looking at a delightfully 90s, Horrifyingly Bad Cashgrab Shovelware Multimedia Package. By Stephen King... F13!

It's an absolute trashfire that I have a strange, nostalgic fondness for. Let's check it out!

It's definintely been on my radar, but I don't think I'd cover it in a whole episode. Potentially some day one that mentions a bunch of other "origins of survival horror" that haven't gotten the spotlight yet in a single episode. We'll see.

yeah, like nooks & crannies

btw, you should check out the alcoves in the Koningin Astridpark

Maybe that's what hell is. The entire rest of eternity spent in fucking Bruges.

Sanitarium is super high on my list of games I'd love to revisit at some point (in video form).

Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

@getgianni.com could you follow me back so I can DM you for something? cheers!

Everytime someone mentions their use of GenAI in a conversation I instantly feel two red minus signs appear above my head.

Many of the skills have pretty intricate conversations, and many of them you will only see if you have all skills high enough to pass the passive checks.
A cheat-run almost feels like its very own way of experiencing the story.
Enjoyng it a lot!
Just don't do it for your first or even second run.

2. If you've done multiple runs, try a "cheat run".
Save the moment Harry wakes up, then edit the save file to boost all your skills up to 20, so you'll pass every check (save for rolling a double-1).
This is super interesting because you get to hear Harry's *full* internal monologue...

...segmented specifically for creating an unparalleled reading-flow. The (excellent) voice over for virtually every line in the game slows the game's pace down to a crawl, which—at least for me—completely breaks the game's incredible flow where I can just read, read, read, read.
Classic > Full VO

I'm currently replaying Disco Elysium again. This is my 4th playthrough, and here's 2 little suggestions/observations I want to share:
1. I enjoy the "Classic" voice acting setting over the Final Cut's "Full Voice Over" a lot more. So much of the dialogue is written to be 'read', formatted and...

According to my estimation it will more likely sell 7 trillion dollars in the first two minutes after launch.
Aut no worries: if this goal won't be met, Rockstar can just layoff 25.000 peoplpe and the shareholders will be happy after all.

A commercial so good it can't be contained in just one screenshot.

apparently japan calls vampire survivors and the like 'mowing games' and they kinda nailed it with that one

HEY SEVERAL PUBLISHERS, PICK UP ROMERO GAMES' PROJECT AND THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WILL LIKE YOU. MAYBE SOME YOUTUBER WILL MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HOW YOU SAVED ONE OF HIS FAVORITE STUDIOS. JUST SAYING.

The internet should have more echo chambers. I never logged onto point and click adventure game fan forums in the early 2000s thinking “I sure hope someone on here hates point and click adventure games, for balance.”

Only upon my 2nd playthrough of Death Stranding did I pick up on the joke that the Anti-BT grenade created from your fecal matter is called Ex Grenade *NUMBER 2*
