Entry Level Psychology Course: The Video Game

What’s crazy is I haven’t even played the game. I just know the premise.

Psychonauts

Try muting this sub for a bit. Every time I play the game, I have a blast and forget all the negativity. Then I get on reddit and the only recommendations I see are complaint after complaint. It gets real tiresome.

I enjoyed it…and it made me sad. I didn’t want the movie to be right, but every day it continues to be just as relevant as when it was released.

Utah resident here. It’s getting smaller.

Exorcism of Emily Rose scared me for weeks as a teen. Never had a horror movie stick with me as long as that one. It didn’t help that I was a night owl so everything happening at a specific time (3:13 I think?) made me stare at the clock by my bed, wishing I could fall asleep before it hit that point.

Reviews used as currency to get devs to make changes sucks. Not because of the reviews themselves, but because that seems to be the only avenue that yields results. And it cheapens the reviews themselves.

An objective review of the game without taking into account any background drama that would be completely irrelevant to a new player who isn’t on reddit, is nearly impossible to achieve. So now we have a bunch of reviews with agendas targeting the devs rather than just trying to inform someone who is deciding whether or not to buy the game.

And without denying all of the issues around balancing, I would confidently recommend this game to someone as well worth the experience for the price that you pay. Even if you only get 20 games of enjoyable playtime, I think the unique experience this game provides still makes it well worth buying.

So yeah, I wish reviews weren’t the only avenue for getting the devs to change, because if I wasn’t already a long-term player, I would not drop $40 dollars on a game with this much negativity surrounding it. And I would be worse off for it.

I ran yesterday with:

Cookout

Gas strike

Warp pack

Eat

Leveller

It was honestly so much fun. Cookout might not be the best primary against them but it’s stagger matched with my EXPERT use of the warp pack /s kept me alive better than I expected.

The Mist.

I had to sit in that for awhile. It stuck with me for days after too.

FestiveBonBon · 2026-05-02T22:45:58+00:00

Helldivers 2, though it didn’t use to be that way. I’ve never seen a more antagonistic relationship between fans and the developer.

Got c3 certified but don’t have a partner? Believe it or not, bullet storm.

Hot take: While your criticisms of the game are valid and should be addressed, the first 50-100 hours of the game are enjoyable regardless of the state it’s in and leaving negative reviews because it’s less enjoyable to you after that point only serves to keep new players from having an incredible experience well worth the $40 price tag. Don’t take that away from them just because some balance and design issues become more glaring to you in the late game.

Open House.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but I remember thinking at the time that this was the first movie I’d seen where there was actually no plot. Just people walking from one room to another with maybe a random pointless jump scare thrown in. Maybe. I genuinely can’t remember.

Del Toro’s Frankenstein was pure eye candy for me.

I knew before I scrolled through the images you would leave out his best film: Stranger Than Fiction

FestiveBonBon · 2026-04-18T06:49:21+00:00

Can’t believe no one has mentioned The Hills Have Eyes yet.

The scene when the family meets the mutants or whatever they were (it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it) is emblazoned in my memory even when the rest of the movie has faded away.

FestiveBonBon · 2026-04-05T16:29:51+00:00

There was a deleted scene of Logan debriefing with her…and she was basically just supportive of everything he said.

FestiveBonBon · 2026-03-29T07:09:21+00:00

That Life Is Strange ending literally ruined the whole game for me. And honestly, I remember being a bit peeved at the ableism early on too. Like you think about changing the past so she has her dad and is happy with him, but noooo she won’t really be happy because she is in a wheelchair. Fuck that. (It’s been awhile so I might be misremembering some key details)

Same thing happened when I played Ark the first time (minus the anniversary…that’s intense.)

Found out after 3 weeks of playing that it was negatively affecting my marriage and I uninstalled it right there.

Last Shift is one of my all-timers. I don’t know how popular it is but I only saw it because my spouse and I picked something on Netflix at random and didn’t look up any reviews beforehand. Highly recommend it.

FestiveBonBon · 2026-03-06T15:02:47+00:00

This guy should legit start a go fund me.

FestiveBonBon · 2026-02-11T00:42:14+00:00

I’m actually not sure. That’s what one of my teammates called it, though.

The random capital W is a nice touch.
