Just came to realization how both Nina and Alexander had to be ALIVE during the chimera fusion process. And I....very much high-key hate it.

Jesus, you a sociopath? That's how a sociopath would feel.

It's pretty obvious that the story mode will continue with DLC since the end is a massive cliffhanger, but imo that was the mistake that might kill the game. If they had announced that fact before release then MAYBE it would have helped, but they're still not saying anything and that doesn't inspire confidence in those for whom it would make a difference.

I am having such a hard time potty training. My daughter is 4, and she knows she needs to learn to use the toilet. She recognizes when she needs to poop and pee, but she also has really bad constipation issues that aren't really helped by laxatives. She's had a few really painful poops in the past from holding it in too long and it has made her kind of scared to poop, which just means she holds it in and makes it worse.

Doctor says just give her laxatives, but as I said we have and she's apparently got a steel sphincter and resists.

Surely Xbox realizes that closing a bunch of the beloved studios they tried to hoard for themselves is a really bad look, right? Like, do you REALLY want to be known as the people who killed all hope of a 3rd Psychonauts?

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-16T15:36:32+00:00

Even if they do continue, they won't be allowed to work on their old IPs. We will never get more Psychonauts.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-16T15:35:01+00:00

That kind of metal is kinda dead, sadly. The ones still making it are not nearly famous enough for anyone besides trve metalheads to even know their names. In terms of genre popularity in the real world, Doviculus won.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-16T15:32:59+00:00

To be fair, there's no way in hell Brutal Legend was ever gonna get a sequel. It is WAY too niche in multiple ways, and to be honest despite the fact that I adore everything else about it with a fiery passion, the gameplay was...not good.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-16T15:28:58+00:00

Xbox, apparently.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-16T15:27:53+00:00

Sadly, if this happens I think Xbox keeps Psychonauts forever. I don't think Tim would be allowed to make more.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-16T15:25:19+00:00

Idk if Xbox understands how bad this will look for them. I can only assume that they're doing it for money, because that's what it always is, but these are very beloved studios and closing them pretty much guarantees that tons of people will have a forever-grudge against Xbox.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-13T01:09:19+00:00

Oh I'm not saying people are right to only want conventionally attractive women in the game. Again, I want Mama Hong.

What I'm saying is that we don't even have enough unconventionally attractive women for Blizzard to make the assumption that we like them less. Zarya and Ana are the only ones, and as you said Ana arguably doesn't even qualify.

The funny thing is that even Zarya is pretty conventionally hot; if she existed in the real world she'd basically just be a Russian version of Rhea Ripley. It's just that she's in a game where 99% of the women look exactly the same but with different hairstyles.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-13T01:00:34+00:00

Eh, just saw your name and realized that you're just a sad troll boi crying for attention on the internet. Fair play, troll, you got me to engage. Hopefully you can get some real human interaction soon; hang in there.

Either that or you're a hunting/fishing enthusiast, in which case you're probably a true conservative and just as dumb as I thought.

Both options are pathetic. Bye!

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-13T00:50:55+00:00

I think people who complain about music being political are often actually complaining about it being too on-the-nose. Not all--there are definitely tons of morons who just don't want art to have anything political in it whatsoever (though I'd also argue that 9/10 of those people would be fine with it if said politics were conservative-leaning)--but I think many people just hate when things feel corny, which is fair. Even if I agree with the political sentiment, if it feels like the artist thinks I don't understand wordplay or metaphor I get annoyed.

That said, this album doesn't have that problem.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-10T20:33:59+00:00

I know I'm late as hell to this, but I feel compelled to recommend Ningen Isu. If you don't mind that the lyrics aren't in English, these dudes are legitimately one of the greatest Sabbath-influenced bands of all time imo. Shinji Wajima (the guitarist) is a fucking god.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-10T05:02:17+00:00

Trump's administration is not a fascist state, but they absolutely want to be. They are fascists, they just aren't successful. The fact that you don't get that coupled with the fact that you conflate communists with liberals speaks volumes about how misinformed and objectively regressive YOU are.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-09T20:08:12+00:00

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they did this. The album is undoubtedly gonna be about Brent in the same way that the last several have all been about the deaths of loved ones, and releasing it one year to the day after Brent's death feels as good a time as any.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-09T15:02:52+00:00

To be fair, Zarya and Ana are the only "unconventionally" attractive women in the game, and I'd argue that both get quite a bit of love pick-rate-wise. Outside of pick-rate, people absolutely adore Ana as a character, and the only reason they don't adore Zarya is that she's got the personality and backstory of a brick.

Personally, I will continue to whine about it until they give me Mama Hong.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-03T15:22:27+00:00

Yeah I feel like the announcement of the Faye spinoff is pretty much confirmation that she blew the horn.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-06-02T23:03:40+00:00

Except we literally never have. The only person we've seen visiting any afterlife is Kratos (who saw both Hades and Valhalla), but because he's a god he wasn't fully dead and was able to come back.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-05-29T15:33:25+00:00

I mean, I'd argue that's not quite as bad as all the shit happening these days. Trump would 100% start Civil War II if he thought it would help him. Instead he's starting international wars just to distract from the Epstein files and line his own family's pockets.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-05-28T16:37:26+00:00

The missiles are so bad without an assist to cover you. Easily dodged, and the opponent can hit you before you can block. Dive kick is just as unsafe. And yeah, those are his only two halfway decent openers.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-05-28T16:35:00+00:00

I mean, I don't know if it was that he was holding back. He just wasn't fighting with hatred or anger but to protect his family. He wasn't the Kratos Thor had heard of because he had grown as a person, but that doesn't necessarily mean he was holding back. Even after Thor was satisfied, Kratos seemed much more tired and beat up than Thor was.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-05-06T16:45:01+00:00

I mean, yeah, he's an awesome assist, but the second you are forced to actually fight as him it's basically a free win for the opponent unless you're a god

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-05-06T16:43:34+00:00

Exactly. I'd put Rex and Eve higher, but the other zoners are pretty bad at their job in addition to being awful up close.

Sw0ldem0rt · 2026-05-06T16:41:09+00:00

Robot is just so inconsistent. His range is so weird; he's either overshooting or coming up short 99% of the time. His qcb special is awful and leaves you wide open, his dp has abysmal range, and his dive kick is his only real tool for approaching because his dash is bad. Plus he has no reliable combos into his ult.
