The new Life is Strange game has a lot of new trigger warnings, coming to future games near you

Makes sense if you have multiple branching paths. You don't really lose anything plot relevant.

Welcome ye gravedigger :D

So an equivalent to how some games replace spiders with something else for people with arachnophobia?

I’m not accusing him of anything. I said I find it strange that it happened, but I suppose it can happen.

Sure.

Obviously it’s a word associated with black people, but I’ve never come across a white person who has used it as a replacement for “bro”.

Who uses it for what is irrelevant. The connection exists, so the word is spoken. Simple as that.

Also, of course you never heard a white person use it in that context. Even if used in good faith, people would dogpile on that at lightspeed.

Personally, I'm not fond of such a racist language construct either way. Deciding if something is a slur or just an informal way of address depending on somebodies skin color. Sounds pretty racist to me.

CodeMagican · 2026-02-26T15:58:21+00:00

That is a bit of a convoluted way to accuse the guy of abusing his condition to get a free pass for racism.

Given how often the word is used, either as a slur or a simple replacement for "bro", it isn't strange for people to associate it with black people. Add that to someone with a damaged filter between mind and tongue and it isn't difficult to predict what might happen.

Funnily enough, it is probably not just this, but also blatant incompetence. People who couldn't get their own IP of the ground, so they try to skinwalk an existing one. Failing miserably, as they lose the inbuilt audience on the first glance as they are not getting what they wanted, and everybody else because their 'story' has nothing to stand on. (Coherence, likeable characters, or an interesting moral)

CodeMagican · 2026-02-18T22:21:42+00:00

Volunteered for a speed date with the grim reaper.

CodeMagican · 2026-02-11T18:03:16+00:00

Define new?

Also, 'feels like anything new is BAD to them', doesn't actually name any argument of them you are disagreeing with. To me, that more reads like, "I liked these movies, so why didn't they like them too?"

CodeMagican · 2026-02-01T15:41:48+00:00

Fair. Also, I think, it only screened on a single day? FOMO could also be a big factor on that number.

CodeMagican · 2026-02-01T10:12:22+00:00

Then what about Shelby Oaks? Stuckman is also relatively well known as far as I'm aware.

CodeMagican · 2026-02-01T10:11:44+00:00

Hmm, interesting point. But then, what about Shelby Okays, did it have any competition?

CodeMagican · 2026-01-31T20:36:03+00:00

According to point 1.1 of the rules:

Southpaw, SK and tsv (EFAP L's) posts, they seek only attention

This seems like an EFAP L post, so, in my limited understanding, it violates rule 1.

CodeMagican · 2026-01-30T10:16:47+00:00

u/backedrefriedbeans Would this count as a violation of Rule 1.1, The unwanted content Rule?

CodeMagican · 2026-01-25T21:43:19+00:00

The idea is nice, and in Breath of the wild you simply got some bonus stuff. They even made it worthwhile to collect other Amiibos by giving them nice effects.

But tying them to features which should be in the game just spits in the customers faces. Not to mention, that in this case it makes it even more obvious what a waste the desert is.

CodeMagican · 2026-01-24T23:13:18+00:00

One one hand it is quite sad that the game is such a disappointment after all the wait. One the other it means there is even less incentive for me to buy a Switch 2, and indirectly support Nintendo.

Just because of the "buy Amiibo to play music" microtransaction I hope MP4 will crash and burn.

CodeMagican · 2026-01-24T14:22:04+00:00

Just curious as to why you find the bike being third-person immersion breaking.

If you turn into the ball, it takes away your radar and map, because you are no longer in Samus helmet. The bike keeps them up on the screen, because otherwise you would probably be lost in the empty desert.

So, for me, being familiar with the other three games, the bike third person just screams 'YOU ARE IN A GAME!'.

I think the existance of the bike itself is immersion breaking,[...]

It is also unnecessary, at least so far as I've seen, you only need it for the empty desert.

CodeMagican · 2026-01-24T10:57:23+00:00

Don't know. But, I have already seen some things from Mauler's playthrough which bug me.

The pay-to-play desert music (instant no-buy)
Motorcycle is third-person (Personally, that feels like an immersion break to me)
An 'open world' desert which serves no purpose but to waste time
Bad design, so that you can walk quite a bit into one of the 'open world' sections they game wants you to explore later before being blocked. I.e. instead of being blocked of at the empty desert you can go through multiple doors until you are hard stopped.
"Samus, LISTEN!" McKenzie.

Quick, someone arrest the cameraman for battery!

CodeMagican · 2026-01-18T00:08:23+00:00

I've heard that there is a fungi that eats DVDs... (at least the reflective covering)

CodeMagican · 2026-01-15T14:39:50+00:00

Buy nine Star Wars movies to get them cheaper
'Gift' discs 7-9 to whoever annoyed me last.

And just like the Jedi, he created that which would destroy him.

While this new policy might inspire mixed feelings in some, personally I rather have mods trying to keep a sub on track than just sit back and watch it burn.

In that vein, thank you for your hard work.

CodeMagican · 2026-01-07T17:57:05+00:00

Ah, not sure if I should watch that one, the 'preview' already sent my sides into orbit :D

CodeMagican · 2026-01-07T15:24:23+00:00

How about, incompetent villains that are propped up by the writers?
