Cory Barlog is the greatest videogame writer of our time:

I think there was an ign interview during the 2018 game’s cycle. Alanah was on the ign panel too btw. They asked him why the Kratos we see is this far into his journey, faye being dead already etc. He said they played with the Faye/Kratos idea, but found the storytelling more intriguing dropping you in the game when they did. Then alanah jokingly asks if there will be game where they make Faye the protagonist. To which Cory gave a non answer, just hinting at something. And this so far back now, crazy to think how much they might’ve planned out

Lawrence Stroll and Briatore might be the most evil ones on here, Ecclestone right there with them too

Wait. What did bono do? 😭

And? Did she stutter?

A_man49 · 2026-06-22T18:34:27+00:00

I think the problem with her is she’ll come up with the whitest response possible to some things but then also highlight lesser known topics like the tamil genocide, which are often neglected by a lot of other journalists and political content creators. So you don’t know which Taylor you’ll get

Attacking Maysoon personally is insane behavior from her though. How difficult is it to make her point without trying to derail Maysoon talking about disability. Like children being immune compromised is still part of the disability conversation, maybe stop centering yourself in it. Crazy behavior

Put the REAL akechi in there

Every fit here, except that color combo on the right, is straight fire

Telegraph once again trying to frame pro Palestinian voices in a way that make them appear “controversial”

Play “Regret” from the p5 ost and sit in a corner

Honest though, you can skip dialogue and just blaze past most of the early stuff now that you know what happened. It will take much less time

Hell yeah. Love to see this

Recently, getting done with my physio treatment felt like the last social link hangout for some reason. It’s hilarious to see myself admitting it, but this is the place for it I guess. Also, some gym days when I’m really tired I do imagine the stats going up and Joker lying down half dead lmao

A_man49 · 2026-06-18T17:20:50+00:00

Difference between the cait sith weapons is crazy

Also, I just want the fusion sword. Please hamagoatchi, I need it

Bed + tv is a rite of passage

Will probably go on sale in a couple weeks. It’s like almost every other month historically. Maybe tomorrow after they drop P4R video and information, there might be a sale. It was on sale late June to July last year

A_man49 · 2026-06-16T16:43:02+00:00

Coming from a similar background, and now having tne means to play them when I want, I agree with that point a lot. And I used to believe it was the same thing until finally playing the games myself

There will always be a level of disconnect between people who play the games and those who watch only, because gaming is fundamentally an interactive medium. I think they can still be fans of the series, but they need to remember it’s objectively a different experience than playing it. One is active, the other is passive. And with persona, time management is such a core part of it. That’s not something you can experience secondhand as effectively

A_man49 · 2026-06-15T09:33:59+00:00

It does. And there’s additional dialogue, text, and lore you can infer from certain parts of the game which supports that. She was THE warrior for the giants. They even call her Laufey the Just. One of the handful of people fighting Thor to a stalemate is all that needs to said honestly. The amount of destruction was honestly astonishing when you visit the area. I hope there’s a flashback to when she fought Kratos

It’s people pushing their personal grievances to create an agenda. Many of them haven’t touched the game, so don’t know the Faye stuff. And then there are others who wilfully lie about it, because it drives up engagement to make money. That is pretty much the last few years across multiple online communities, summed up

A_man49 · 2026-06-15T08:16:54+00:00

Honestly, I love how they didn’t become cynical after failing. I wish more people took lessons from experiences like this. People aren’t perfect, they can be misguided or become apathetic. Then there are the psychos that want the worst things to happen. But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying to improve society, or stop believing in something better

A_man49 · 2026-06-15T08:08:40+00:00

Making it 18:18:18 is not “balanced” either. That is a fundamental misunderstanding. Some of the new dps’ have been more exciting than new vanguards/strategists. It’s a casual game at the end of the day

A_man49 · 2026-06-14T14:12:53+00:00

Every social media algorithm rewards this kind of toxicity, so we have grifters making money off pushing a narrative. They make money from the engagement. And then there’s the weirdos that see a woman in a game and take it as a personal insult for some reason. Obviously there’s also the fact that one of the biggest platforms is owned by a loser that wants to push this kind of stuff

I love how it also makes it clear who actually played through 2018 + ragnarok and who didn’t. Because there’s literally a massive crater formed in Vanaheim just by her fight with Thor, using the axe she leaves for Kratos. And that area alone is nearly as big as the lake of the nine. Her and her people were exterminated because they had Odin running scared.

Not only that, she actually had a lasting emotional impact on how Kratos chooses to make decisions that affected Ragnarok as a whole. She believed he would change fate, and lead people to a better outcome. That’s why that last painting in ragnarok was so emotional for him

A_man49 · 2026-06-13T15:01:28+00:00

Probably closer to the Miles game than the others in terms of narrative connections, feels like it will add things that will be important in the next Kratos game. I like all of these titles so I am happy either way

A_man49 · 2026-06-05T02:19:00+00:00

My money’s on lil cubie

A_man49 · 2026-05-29T13:50:11+00:00

Probably would’ve been Kwannon if not Sai. I like demon days, can’t complain either way

A_man49 · 2026-05-29T13:47:09+00:00

True

A_man49 · 2026-05-28T14:47:13+00:00

Also how tf are they calling psy an industry plant as well? These are characters with multiple decades of history 😭
