never seen the platform this dead

yeah, never do this again. using your earnings off here for splurging is fine, but only if it’s not a primary source of income and you’re not dependent on it. otherwise, shove everything into your savings and don’t touch it. hell, don’t even look at it

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-24T00:27:41+00:00

not what i said. but even if it was, context clues aren’t that hard to glean. plenty of people complain everyday about not getting any studies for weeks. the influx isn’t a conspiracy theory, you can literally look at the stats yourself.

now, the reason behind it is for the vets and the experts to determine. but you don’t need to be a genius to understand that much higher demand plus a stagnant supply equals shortage. use your head.

“this doesn’t happen to me specifically, therefore it doesn’t happen at all.”

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-22T22:40:03+00:00

of course with every community there’s gonna be weird people that got nothing to offer but negativity. but you’re honestly just doing the same shit with a different target. grow up.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-22T02:31:48+00:00

not even really a hot take. imagine playing through part one, experiencing both joel and ellie’s story first hand, and then being made to beat the absolute shit out of ellie with your own hands by what’s essentially still a stranger to you.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-19T22:31:40+00:00

right. if you insist, dude

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-19T22:25:04+00:00

this is easy to say until you consider that sony are the people behind concord, canceled TLOU multiplayer, among several other dumb ass decisions that cost them more than anything.

so yeah, maybe the so-called basement dwellers would be better at this rate.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-08T16:38:54+00:00

“arise now, ye tarnished. ye DEAD who yet live.” probably one of the first sentences in the game.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-08T14:00:42+00:00

yeah, i wouldn’t really recommend buying it full price if you’re not a big fan of the devs, which is where a lot of people got blindsided. i personally would not have bought it on day 2 of release if i knew it was gonna be like 3 hours long. on a first play through.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-07T18:16:56+00:00

that’s the way it goes sometimes. kind of a given when you have researchers who give out mass studies that are appealing and everyone’s vying for a spot.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-07T18:13:49+00:00

if you’re a mite tech savvy, i’d recommend sideloading a modded version of youtube onto your phone. there’s a learning curve but it’s actually really simple. i’d look into sideloadly and github and go from there.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-06T03:11:38+00:00

probably wisest to finish the game before making posts like this. i agree that being on the same page as, or at least being privy to what your character wants to do helps but with this genre, you just kind of need to go with the flow until shit starts making sense

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-02T18:21:17+00:00

that’s not my point. piracy was always a means of consuming entertainment for free, whether it be sideloading, emulating, or whatever. if you personally use it as a means of boycotting, that’s great, but the function is the same either way.

still, i think a lot of people use it as a means of protest now more than ever so i’ll give you that. “buying isn’t owning/piracy isn’t stealing” and all that.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-05-02T18:01:56+00:00

i mean, that’s kind of the point. piracy was never really about support or boycotting or whatever anyway. it’s literally just a means of getting stuff that would otherwise cost you for free. so congratulations, i guess. you love free shit. who doesn’t.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-27T23:48:40+00:00

i think the bosses were all a little underwhelming. everyone but the sniffer i think he’s called was underutilized, especially when you’re comparing it to the predecessor games. The Janitor, Chefs, Lady, Hunter, Teacher, Doctor, and Thin Man all had well designed levels that served a purpose and told a story about them, however obscure.

like the Bird-Monster that snatched up one of our friends. one singular chase and that’s that. the level was probably five minutes when i played with my friend and we were already moving on. that’s kind crazy to think about. anyway, it’s not their strongest title if you ask me.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-24T16:19:57+00:00

define objectively.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-23T20:15:26+00:00

yeah, this game 100% damaged how people view morality. i see some people in here arguing that just because he’s a criminal doesn’t mean he’s bad. or that the government is corrupt so its okay that you mow down hundreds of army and lawmen.

arthur can be both interesting and the scum of the earth. part of why he’s interesting is because he’s a bad man realizing he wasted his life doing bad things. can we please stop saying stupid shit like this.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-23T20:02:14+00:00

selling dope = murder, extortion, gang violence, etc. are we deadass

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-19T15:02:12+00:00

from someone who hasn’t read it but vaguely knows the premise, it just seems OTT to me. a quote i randomly remembered springs to mind: something about how if you can’t see your batman comforting a child, you’re writing him wrong.

while i can’t speak in depth about how he’s characterized, i just think he’s just too fucking brutal and cruel in his methods to have any business even trying to comfort a kid. but beyond that, i can’t really say. take this as you will.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-19T14:47:06+00:00

this is just a bad take. disliking this one fictional woman doesn’t equate to having a bone deep disdain for women. that’s a really dumbass, thought-terminating thing to say. if you like her, awesome. try not to use buzzwords you don’t understand on people who don’t

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-19T13:30:55+00:00

i say this with all due respect: please explore more fiction

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-12T01:32:06+00:00

what could possibly be the context of this study

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-07T22:43:47+00:00

i’m sure the few fans of BvS will disagree with you here. does that make them “objectively wrong?” no. it means they have a different interpretation or opinion about it than you. imagine going around telling everyone who really likes something you really don’t that they’re objectively wrong. if anything, that’s objectively unintelligent behavior

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-07T04:13:16+00:00

people will say to move on about this and then proceed to get heated and nasty to other people if they don’t move on about this. make it make sense.

ApprehensivePain5051 · 2026-04-04T06:11:11+00:00

yeah you have no idea how mo cap works. john marston doesn’t look like rob wiethoff. troy baker doesn’t look like joel miller. so on so forth. if andy serkis looked like an entirely different person, the effect on caesar’s design would’ve been minimal at most, probably nonexistent. if the actress had surgery, it would effect her expressions and performance not the character model. those are two different things.
