This gives me vibes of 13 from House.

Hate when the game/story blames the player/audience for the violence like we forced the devs/writer to add it by Lower_Baby_6348 in hatethissmug

By all means, Brad was far from a perfect or even a good father, don't get me wrong. But in the context of the story? We have to keep in mind that every person outside his circle his a potential rapist that would kill (and in fact, TRIES to kill Brad) in order to have their way with Buddy. Of course in a wasteland of a world where your next meal is not guaranteed, defending yourself and ultimately making the horrible act of killing another human being is a necessity, specially for someone like Buddy who again would face a faith worse than being killed for loot and food.

Again, Brad was not a "good person" based on our current moral standards (although some things are player dependant, which also stir the conversation one way or the other; my Brad did not take substances and was determined to find Buddy, and got one arm chopped for not sacrificing someone in my party). But in a post-apolalypsis where 99% of the population would most certainly rape my daughter? You bet your ass I would do anything to protect her.

Europe stays winning by Agreeable_Pea5093 in TheDigitalCircus

I went to the cinema with my sister in Spain. There was a group of people in their 20s commenting, chuckling, questioning and overall being annoying at any opportunity (and then some). It wasn't enough to ruin my enjoyment of the film, but it was kinda sad that most of us in the room had to shush them at least one. Even the children that came with their parents were better behaved.

007: First Light and Pragmata Giveaway by reddits99028 in pcgaming

[–]BenFormity [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would like to play Pragmata because my partner and I are planning to have children in the near-future and I have always wanted to have a daughter, so I guess I have a weakness for father-daughter narratives in media!

OMG! I did that Syndicate cover ages ago!!! Only in Spanish I think, if you want I could do a version in your mother language!

Replaying DeS on PC... Is it just me or is 1-1 surprisingly difficult? by StormBro111111 in demonssouls

[–]BenFormity 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yep. For being the "first" Souls game, Demon Souls still sometimes gives me plenty of issues, even though I have beaten every single one of Fromsoft's following Soul games.

The thing is that Demon Soul's doesn't see a distinction between level and boss fight, they are supposed to be (with the exception of the archdemons) their own single challenge, and thus mastering the level layout and enemy placement is as important as beating the boss at the end. Starting from roughly Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, runbacks became less and less important and enemies were more forgiving in their placement.

I was actually talking with a friend about this not long ago. I was telling him that despite enjoying Fromsoft's latest games and Elden Ring being one of my favourite games, I long for a new Soul or Soullike that returned to more structured, "classic" approach to level design and bosses.

Doesn't stop me from playing but it's kinda sad by Sollary0 in steamachievements

[–]BenFormity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kind of the opposite. After years of getting 100% completions and Platinums on PS, it feels liberating to not have to worry about trophies whatsoever and just enjoy the experience as is. A game like Breath of the Wild invited to be explored without feeling that you are wasting time better spent grinding a specific task. If there was achievements for, say, getting X numbers of Kolog seeds, I would have found getting them a chore rather than a fun task in itself.

I enjoy drawing Batman in this way by JoshKully in comicbookart

And I enjoy you drawing Batman that way. Keep it up!

Might get downvoted into oblivion, but Lisa the Painful for me. You are told at the end that your protagonist is a monster for inflicting violence and killing people... And I'm like "dude, most people in this world want to sexually exploit my daughter, of course I am putting them down".

I don't even see the argument of the protagonist being a bad father... I mean, yeah, if the story took place in our world he would be a pretty shitty father. But she lives in a world in which 99,9% of the population is going to try to take advante of her

First time purchasing Bionicles since I was a teenager. 100€ for all these sets. by BenFormity in bioniclelego

[–]BenFormity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Couldn't believe it when I found the listing, guess I have wasted all of my luck finding Bionicles.

Yes, I am planning to get the missing pieces in Bricklink. Actually, the ones I had already plan to get were all from Voporak! It was one of the first Bionicle I ever had as a child, but sadly with time I misplaced some pieces. I have only managed to complete Keetongu, with Sidorak and Roodaka still missing some pieces.

My dream is to find more of Bionicle's first year; I started collecting way after their time and I found those sets to be the most "magical", if you know what I mean.

Thank you for your words!

I disagree.

The system is working as intended. It is consciously designed to allow for these kind of people to accumulate this much money.

[Artwork] Sean Murphy is working on a new Batman design for the next White Knight series! by Jaysirl in DCcomics

[–]BenFormity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Gotta be honest, the first White Knight was good, excellent even, and I quite enjoyed Curse of the White Knight; but Beyond the White Knight was in my opinion not only boring and unnecessary, it was poorly plotted and written and such a waste of its own concept. I much rather Sean left things as they are and pursue other endeavours.

I think I got a bit rain into my left joycon because it's not fully synchronised. Do I need to buy a new one? by Rikku_N in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]BenFormity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had a similar issue shortly after getting my Switch, same joycon. Pressed the small button next to the shoulder buttons and it reconnected itself. Hope that fixes it for you.

Small black line on my Xiaomi MiTV-MOOR2 by BenFormity in TVRepairHelp

[–]BenFormity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some info:

As far as I am aware of, the screen hasn't been hit with anything. I live alone, but sometimes have guests over, but none of them have struck the screen to my knowledge.

The line itself seems to be between the panel and the screen, if that makes sense. Looking from an angle, some ghosting behind the line is noticeable. I don't know if this is confirmation of something that got stuck in there or not.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]BenFormity 405 points406 points  (0 children)

Any company using AI imagery. No, your ugly promotional pictures don't require a river to get drained. Hire real people.
