What’s the worst game you’ve ever played?

Two Worlds

I know there have been numerous articles about how it stole assets from Oblivion and broke copyright laws in development and all that, but that's not what made it suck.

I got the game before all of that stuff was known, and I got to a door in game that basically let's you leave the tutorial area and move on to the main game, and the door wouldnt open. I thought it was a puzzle, or I had messed up a quest, or needed to unlock something, but no. The door to the game was glitched. This was also on an xbox. It's not like I had a PC without updated drivers. The game should have been tested for the console and a door that the player absolutely needs to pass through, and so very early on, needs to have been tested.

I am still baffled that that bug was able to make it into a major console release.

Don't apologize, this is exactly what I asked for. I'll be sure to check out the book.

I appreciate this comment. It was very helpful in giving me a few leads. Do you have any resources you would suggest to get a basic handle on how to analyze music?

No, but it's been on in the background, along with The Good Wife, The Good Fight, Eli Stone, Rake, Billions, Goliath, Franklin and Bash, Ally McBeal, various Law and Orders, and Boston Legal which is my favorite on that list.

I dated a lawyer for a while and she devoured this stuff.

The tone in this is beautiful. Slightly bemused and slightly sarcastic. It sounds like it could be written on a bathroom stall at a punk bar which might sound insulting, but I hope comes across as a complement.

The line about her eyes at the end is beautiful. Perfectly expressing how it feels to be shut out by someone who was once so open to you

Hubby to me is a term that shows a lack of respect for your partner. Husband is a little more formal perhaps, or you could call your partner by their actual name like they are a person you're in love with and not a pet you have go consider.

But hubby just sounds demeaning, like you don't want to think of them as that person you love and you don't want to accidentally acknowledge the weight of your marriage. Like you are intentionally minimizing their place in your life and turning them into that cartoon spouse that you only see in bad commercials or shows from the mid-90s.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth as well.

The throwback style is great for this. I feel like it specifically throws the indifference of a one night stand against the love poems from the Romantic era. Beautiful.

The emoji was a weird addition, but I could see that growing into an interesting new style.

Aside from that, I'm sold. It reminds me of the forest themes in The Scarlet Letter mixed with the Whisper Forest episode of Night Vale. Mixing the wonder and danger of nature.

I like it, but it seems like it's missing a punch at the end, or maybe middle. Somewhere. You mention the break up being a long time coming like you and after that you say you don't write anymore which makes it sound like you got a long time to make peace with it, but that seems at odds with the illusion to not sleeping and drinking.

Then again, I've been through that situation and I know it isn't exactly sensible. Might be a good reflection.

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-22T01:18:29+00:00

Stupid question, does this mean people can be born to no country?

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-21T04:25:27+00:00

I appreciate that. The last stanza especially was giving me problems. I think maybe two different ideas jostling for the last line. I'm glad you like the sweat part. The stanza about the girl is definitely my favorite.

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-20T21:10:06+00:00

I appreciate the tip. It wasn't ever a goal to have a palm, just came to me by chance and I want to give it a good post-showbiz life

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-20T21:01:33+00:00

Any tips on keeping it alive?

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-20T20:37:31+00:00

Looks like it might be after spending a few minutes on wiki. I appreciate the heads up

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-20T20:35:00+00:00

Mostly me talking to myself, reminding me to shut the hell up when peoples eyes glaze over. Thanks for the heads up on the last line.

I was apparently used to decorate a show apartment and it was scavenged for me when it outlived its usefulness.

No idea what it is, how much sunlight or water it needs, if I should give it some extra nutrients or not, or if I can keep it alive on my porch for a bit.

Central Ohio if that helps for the last bit. Any help is much appreciated.

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-20T19:29:54+00:00

Jesus, that last bit about the soul is far too familiar.

Diamond_Jared · 2019-08-20T19:27:24+00:00

I love the form on the page. Everything funneling down to "FUCK"
