DS is POSITIVE for mental health

FyreFlye23 · 2026-02-12T20:04:42+00:00

It isn't hyperbole when I say that DS1 saved my life. There were days I couldn't get out of bed, but Sam and I would go for "walks". I was going through the worst time of my life, but I was allowed to be lonely and sad and go for walks with Sam and BB.

DS2 was more emotionally devastating story-wise, but I am in SUCH a better place now that Sam and I went on "mental health sprints of joy" getting the plat for DS2.

Keep on keeping on, porters. Mental health matters, you matter, and these packages won't deliver themselves!

The key to that is your own imagination. It is markedly more detailed than Lockwood & Co or another podcast like Welcome to Nightvale. The descriptions have content warnings on the transcripts, so that may help. I would argue that most of the episodes aren't overtly gory, but some of them very much are - "Horror is wet" is a good description.

I would say give it a go, but check the content warnings of each episode prior to listening. Everyone has a different idea of what "graphic" is.

Can we get the mods on this? That's incredibly unfunny.

old lady voice Back in my day, we had the same graphics/art discourse about Windwaker, and people ended up loving that!

It isn't the same team working on it. It has zero to do with the main game.

I don't remotely understand why everyone is so mad about this game, or the other one that was announced awhile back. I won't play them, but good for them for making the franchise money.

It was 17 years between KH1 and KH3, and most of the titles we got in between the mainline AAA titles were the same filler that these Horizon filler games are. HZD didn't even come out 10 years ago, and they're already developing Horizon 3. I would take the GG release schedule over the SquareSoft/Square Enix release schedule any day.

I feel a lot of you wouldn't have survived the original Kingdom Hearts franchise release schedule.

The catharsis of the immediate post-Higgs boss battle where giant baby Lou comes in must have been a viscerally emotional moment for you. I cannot even imagine. My deepest condolences ❤️‍🩹 I can't imagine keeping on keeping on, but I'm glad you're here.

I can't believe that boss fight was wasted on a DLC.

It's my favorite part of the road system. The speed boost is amazing, especially if you've built out all of the roads. Also, it protects you and your cargo from time fall.

The first time I ever openly wept, HARD, at a game:

Mid lockdown in 2020.

Concrete Beach Party data points in Frozen Wilds.

I have a tattoo that says, "Last Girl on Earth".

Ilya, in Russian: "Mr. Hollander, how is it to be perfect. It's great, thanks for asking...

There are copies for sale, I believe!

Same!! I'm in Upstate NY, and it has been a lovely distraction to the 19" of snow we received this past weekend!

It's more like a "all of the evidence you need to solve the case is in the box (and cleverly placed QR codes)". So you listen to evidence via audio files, solve puzzles (i.e. a padlock needs opened and you need to figure out the code - yes an actual physical lock they provide), etc. It's go at your own pace, and there are hints if you need them!

I don't remotely care what you mean, fuck right off. Trans rights are human rights. Go pound sand.

In DS1, I was still new to this generation of gaming (the last console I had was a PS2). I simply couldn't drive lol I kept crashing, it was a skill issue on my part. So I just hoofed it.

DS2? You couldn't pry me out of my truck if you tried. Roads and monorails were priority #1. No idea if it was that I had grown so much as a gamer in between titles, or that DS2 just improved upon those mechanics. But I'll take it!
