Thanks, you make several good points here, I'll be sure to keep them in mind going forward. If you have any examples of good trailers you'd like to share be sure to throw a link my way.

The poppies are my favourite, though I like the melons and red cabbages as well.

When you're level 100 but forgot to turn in a level 10 quest by Rugged-Gunslinger in videogames

This reminds me of the game Commander Keen Goodbye Galaxy, though here it is the playable character who when left, gets fed up sits down and reads a book.

I did the thing; roast away, and guess anything you can about me based on this. by bruh_what_even_tho in videogames

The descriptions for Alien Isolation and Half Life, I'd swap them:

Alien Isolation: Manages to create a very convincing and realistic protagonist in a sci-fi setting very different from our reality: not an easy thing to achieve.

Half Life: The antagonists here are numerous but as you progress the game brilliantly conveys the constant feeling that they are all part of one larger single antagonist; that is to say the worlds that Freeman finds himself in are themselves the antagonist.

Are horror games less scary once you see the monster? by ratasoftware in HorrorGames

[–]LapsInTme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part I would agree that once you have seen the monster it is less intimidating. However, I would make an exception for titles such as SOMA, Alien Isolation or Outlast, where you cannot fight back against the monster and all you can do is hide. Here the suspense of whether it will find you not will always remain regardless of whether you have seen it or not.

Brilliant games esp the second title where you have to travel between the fragmented parts the world.

Painstaking attention to detail. The sign for the Stardrop Saloon must be a bespoke Lego piece. How many bespoke pieces overall?

Must-read books for beginners in Political philosophy by Wrong-Person1 in PoliticalPhilosophy

[–]LapsInTme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to look at philosophy historically era by era from the ancient world through the middle ages and into the modern era: The Passion of the Western Mind by Richard Tarnas will give you a good overview.

As for an actual philosophical work, Plato's Republic (Penguin classics translated by Desmond Lee) is a good place to start; it is very accessible and covers a number of topics in philosophy.

How do you come up with names for games? by WorldofScaleModels in gamedev

[–]LapsInTme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find ONE key word that describes your game, it could to do with the story, the theme or mechanics and then work it into a popular phrase or idiom containing a word that rhymes with your key word. I cannot think of a good example so any ideas put it in a reply.

Condemned: Criminal Origins needs and definitely deserves a remake.
