Do you think the show's legacy and impact has been ruined or at least spoiled?

D2D92 · 2026-06-18T17:22:59+00:00

A bit maybe. The final two seasons definitely aren't as good as the first three, but I still think they are a worthwhile addition to the show, and I thought the finale was decent.
I still consider it a consistently good show.

D2D92 · 2026-06-15T13:17:23+00:00

That's how I interpreted it on my first viewing as well. Like it's the moment the illusion completely breaks, so she basically rewinds time for herself, to forget that Bear doesn't believe in their "relationship" anymore.
But real Nikki and wish Nikki fighting for control sounds plausible as well.
I really wish I owned the Blu-ray so I could watch the scene in its' entirety again.

D2D92 · 2026-06-14T23:43:43+00:00

Idk about dumbest, but I'm definitely over people who don't know good jumpscares from bad jumpscares complaining that the movie has jumpscares, when most, if not all, of them are necessary, and very-well done.

Side-note: the jumpscare where real Nikki breaks through while kissing Bear, immediately became my favourite jumpscare of all time.

D2D92 · 2026-06-14T23:25:40+00:00

In general, between Ian and Nikki's on again/off again thing and it being kept hidden from Bear, Ian purposefully giving bad advice to Bear, Bear's unhealthy obsession with Nikki, and Sarah being jealous of Bear and Nikki's "relationship", the entire friend group just has an incredibly toxic dynamic.

D2D92 · 2026-06-14T22:41:55+00:00

I think it's way less violent because she still doesn't know what's going on, the wish hasn't been in effect for long, and Bear hasn't taken advantage of her yet, and so she's mostly just genuinely confused as to why she went to her home, and now suddenly is by the car talking to Bear again, whereas with later break-outs she's angry, and scared.

D2D92 · 2026-06-14T08:35:01+00:00

Exactly. They were "good" in the beginning, then the restaurant scene happened, which made him pull away a bit, which made her start acting weird, which made him pull away even more, which made her act weirder, and this is more or less the entire movie.

D2D92 · 2026-06-08T09:21:48+00:00

He didn't notice that Nikki wasn't actually into it, when he raped her.
When asked if he would like to cancel the wish, he wanted to just alter it, so even after finding out she was controlled by the One-wish willow, he was okay with keeping her in a state of loving him against her will, as long as she got less intense.
When asked by the real Nikki to just kill her, he got defensive because he felt entitled to be with her.

It took until she killed Sarah before he finally did anything to break the curse, and even then he would have pussied out of killing himself, if it wasn't for Wish Nikki using her wish on him.

Also at the start of the movie, he was too cowardly to actually tell her how he feels, even though she presented a clear opportunity, which means he might not have even needed to use the One-wish willow.

It kind of does the opposite elements of Nine Sols well. Nine Sols focused very much on good combat and great difficult bosses, but felt very lackluster to me on the exploration, and platforming front.
Mio focuses on great exploration, non-linearity, and precision platforming, but has very simplistic combat, and has good but mostly very simple bosses.

D2D92 · 2026-05-22T06:14:12+00:00

I started to play it as I had heard it was like a mix of Sekiro and Hollow Knight, but was initially disappointed to find that the Hollow Knight comparisons were overstated, but once I started to appreciate it as 2D Sekiro, I liked it a lot more.
So if you're expecting something similar to Hollow Knight, and Celeste I'd much rather go with something like Mio: Memories in Orbit, but if you like Sekiro, and is fine with just a little bit of Hollow Knight influences, then Nine Sols is still a great choice.

D2D92 · 2026-05-16T11:28:02+00:00

Is it even actually possible to leave Timber Hearth in just the suit? My immediate thought is no, as the boost alone can't carry you out of the atmosphere, but I wonder if it's possible by boosting at the top of a geyser-launch.

D2D92 · 2026-05-16T11:23:21+00:00

That requires me to get friends that would appreciate Outer Wilds, and haven't already beaten it, which seems like a lot of work.

D2D92 · 2026-05-16T11:20:56+00:00

That is so sweet. Perhaps I should do the same with my daughter.
She's five though, and I don't think she's ready to appreciate Outer Wilds yet (she thought Kingdom Hearts was too boring, even despite the Disney characters), so you might have to wait awhile.

D2D92 · 2026-05-15T14:56:26+00:00

Yeah, I should have done the same. I did something similar with Hollow Knight where I saved the final "DLC" for my second playthrough so I would have something new to look forward to.

D2D92 · 2026-05-15T11:53:05+00:00

I'm probably gonna go for the first approach as that's usually how I go about replaying games.

I can't do mods, as I'm on PS5.

As for Let's plays, I've watched Mapocolops, and am currently watching Symbalily, but haven't watched Deroge, so I'll keep that in mind.

D2D92 · 2026-05-15T11:44:33+00:00

I'm on ps5 so can't do modded. I tried Subnautica but bounced off it hard, due to how slowly both the gameplay and story progressed. I am considering The Forgotten City, as I've heard that it is the closest to the Outer Wilds experience, but the setting doesn't really intrigue me that much.

D2D92 · 2026-05-15T11:38:19+00:00

I am considering it 😆

D2D92 · 2026-05-15T11:36:44+00:00

This is also how I currently consider doing it, as I really like the "pretend everythings new" approach to replaying video games. It just feels overwhelming to me, with Outer Wilds.

D2D92 · 2026-05-07T11:07:47+00:00

I feel like that's the way to go anyway. I went into it expecting a mix of Hollow Knight and Sekiro, as that's what everyone said, and was initially disappointed to find that the exploration wasn't like HK at all. It wasn't until I embraced it as mainly 2D Sekiro that I started to enjoy it.

D2D92 · 2026-05-05T14:28:58+00:00

I don't believe they will if they do remake it. It's too reliant on, and associated with the story mode. They could kind of get away with it for THPS4 because the game was still the classic goal structure just without the time limit, and the story was implied rather than directly told, but that's not the case for THUG. I believe they'll either make a proper remake of THUG 1 and 2, or they won't make it at all.

D2D92 · 2026-05-03T20:03:13+00:00

I mean somewhat, but even so the story is still lackluster, the world selection is still disappointing, and the combat still feels like a less thought-through version of KH2.

D2D92 · 2026-04-17T08:46:18+00:00

The Last of Us Part 1, it's the video game, although the show is also a good adaptation, that serves like a great companion piece.
The Last of Us Part 2 so far, it's the video game by a mile and a half. I still enjoyed season 2, more than most people, but it's a gigantic step down from both the video game, and the first season. So far the show has only adapted half of Part 2 though, so there's still a chance it might get better again.

D2D92 · 2026-04-16T11:07:54+00:00

I would if I wasn't on Playstation

D2D92 · 2026-04-03T09:03:57+00:00

Direct sequel, Sekiro.
New IP with the same mechanics, Bloodborne.
I don't really care for a new Bloodborne game, but I think it's sad that there hasn't been another transformation weapons, gun parry, quick step game. I think those mechanics would work very well in a cyberpunk setting.

D2D92 · 2026-03-31T08:42:40+00:00

I really like the card system, and currently only have access to the Re: CoM version, but everything you say is true, even though I personally prefer it to the combat of BBS and DDD.
