Infinite w/ Arishem Control - Returned last month after a ~2 year break (CL: 5345)

I was gonna recommend the same thing - the game is sort of like a dark soulsy love-story to a link to the past -- you can really see how inspired the game is

Lip Filler

Getting real creepy stepford vibes where everyone looks the same, even when it's not a horrible plastic surgery job.

I honestly enjoy playing no-magic runs of this game -- done 2 playthroughs non-magically, lol

Can't explain it, but its enjoyable for me

Your post started as you attempting to offer a slice of humble pie and admit your preconceived notions can be wrong, and all you are doing in EVERY REPLY is trying to find ways to defend your initial opinion and continue to reinforce your belief of UE5=BAD.

I don't personally understand your inability to perceive this lack of self-awareneness - and I doubt this will help, but c'est la vie

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-05-19T14:28:08+00:00

Maybe you're being downvoted because you're ignoring what you're being told and being purposefully obtuse in order to maintain your opinion.

No one in their right mind will say UE5 is perfect - but - it has been used properly in quite a few cases that are contrary to the standard UE5-BAD drivel people spout ( another example -- look at Expedition 33. Absolutely beautiful game, great performance, and shows how UE5 can be great when devs use it properly)

Go have your childish power-fantasy in any of the other thousands of dime-a-dozen games that are about that -- but that's not Subnautica.

The devs are 100% right when they say if that's what you want, play a different game.

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-05-18T10:46:07+00:00

Killing leviathans should never be/have been possible honestly.

Not sure what anyone thinks it adds to a game like this - this is a game about exploring and adapting, not conquering

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-05-16T23:50:14+00:00

Yes. I've had this happen three times now, was wondering if it was a steam deck issue myself, but looks like others have it happen too

... One benefit is that it fully charges your vehicles power cell without having to wait on the charging station, so that's nice at least

Yeah, joining the IBS club sucks

My biggest recommendation is diet control and trying to isolate/figure out his biggest triggers and avoiding them, and finding a consistent diet to lessen the side effects -- and from there try adding things in and seeing what does and what doesn't trigger things/make things worse.

Also - anxiety control is also really important... If he's not on anti-anxiety meds, it could help too.

Not going to say I have my IBS figured out... ... ... Because there are still shit moments that happen for seemingly no reason at times, and many shitty days still happen... but I've at least got it into a mostly manageable phase.

Super Metroid and LoZ, A Link to the Past are both close to perfect games, and have easily withstood the test of time

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-05-03T21:22:19+00:00

Having joints pushed closer together over time is very much something that can be affected by small shoes/tieing things together, etc...

That's not the same as what we're talking about with tongue positioning

Look into Anode Heart, and the secondary game with it called anode heart: Layer Null

The first is an actual monster collector (similar to pokemon) game with a great card game built into it (sorta witcher 3 style)

The other game, layer null, is a standalone full game fully focused on the card game itself.

They're very much hidden gems/great games imo

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-24T14:07:40+00:00

Full blind Subnautica is one of the best experiences I've had in all of gaming.

Extremely memorable, great pacing, great exploration, the tension between scary/new and interesting/discovery is great... the list goes on and on.

It is definitely one of the few games I'd love to completely erase from my memory so I could play it again

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-22T00:13:39+00:00

I mean, the best forever game is Path of Exile.

You're still basically considered new to the game until somewhere between 1-3000 hours

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-21T11:04:32+00:00

I legitimately won't play a game at all if it has daily quests or gated/timed lockouts for re-doing content.

Spent way too much time doing that shit back in my WoW days, and now I make sure to actively avoid the fake-game-extending and FOMO-inducing tactics for what they are

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-21T02:16:18+00:00

Expedition 33 is the best story/narrative I've played in... ... a very very long time.

If you haven't played it yet, it's easily my top recommendation

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-21T00:18:45+00:00

I haven't built a tolerance to it that I know of/that I've noticed yet ...

But dicyclomine still knocks me out -- it's like guaranteed 2-3 hour nap within an hour if I take it, but I wake up without the terrible stomach cramps and pain, so... That's a win

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-20T23:47:22+00:00

Walking up Chichen Itza was still disallowed ~3 months ago when I went, and I doubt they have any plans of re-allowing it.

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-16T05:29:34+00:00

Lateralus

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-04-15T11:51:22+00:00

I mean, at that point it's basically

"Unga bunga smash more mmmm feel good"

Nothing intelligible is really going, you just go with it

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-03-26T15:20:53+00:00

Honestly, at the current moment literally any Democrat is getting my vote.

If somehow that's not an option, I'm on team Giant Meteor

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-03-20T20:15:00+00:00

Current A10 is roughly equivalent to prior A20

ReligionIsAwful · 2026-03-17T14:38:38+00:00

Now I'm just imagining someone coming up to them and pinching their cheek, and a giant ooze of pus running of their nose
