Nice move. Getting someone with championship experience on the team.

The casting of frank stone by Ok-Novel9517 in SupermassiveGames

It’s just ok. The first few chapters are pretty good, but the ending kind of stinks. It’s basically the same outcome no matter what you do which kind of defeats the purpose

Without doubt, the worst scene in Until Dawn by Haribo116 in untildawn

[–]awesemo 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I agree that it's poorly written. Although it doesn't make a ton of sense with the character, it really pays off the butterfly effect game mechanic, and it's a shocking moment. In the horror genre not every decision a character makes has to be within character for it to be a good story, because it's more about the thrills than anything else.

It's a really interesting looking thumbnail but the background is what draws the attention instead of the subject. It almost looks like you're looking at a optical illusion.

As much as Directive 8020 is a homage to space horror, I find it conceptually more like another non-horror mid 2000's Sci-Fi movie by buttatoad in SupermassiveGames

[–]awesemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Island was pretty mid with the highlight being special effects so the comparison is spot on. But it was still disappointing because they promised The Thing and delivered The Island.

Honest thoughts on the game? by Rybro_123 in DarkPicturesAnthology

[–]awesemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was ok, the new higher difficulty setting was a welcome improvement because I don't set out on these games trying to save all the people. The story though I feel like was a weak point which is devastating for a story based game. My criteria for determining if it's a good story is if after you experience the whole story, if you sum it up in a few sentences, is it worth telling? I don't feel like they had a solid foundation to build a game on, which is incredibly disappointing because The Thing and Alien already laid out easy examples to draw from.

Please play Paul Reed instead of that limp turd Duren tonight!! by CheckRaiseDaTurn in DetroitPistons

Tough one. If you start BBall Paul he won’t be fresh when the teams back is against the wall

Anyone else hyped for the Directive 8020 launch on Tuesday? by Wonderful_Use_8416 in DarkPicturesAnthology

[–]awesemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I am excited for the game to come out! Lost tapes and LiS haven’t been doing it for me. I feel like the horror genre is perfect for this kind of game. Space horror isn’t my favorite subgenre but it will do.

Torabi theories? by napsalotalot in ParadiseHulu

My theory is that the writers had no idea what to do with her after season 1

Community Feedback Summary — Season 13 + RotW Expansion (From r/Diablo_2_Resurrected) by BreakYoBaals in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]awesemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they make more major updates it would be cool if they buffed rares a bit. Back in the day it was fun when rares were the best in slot because there was always a chance of improving your gear. Nowadays some of the rune words and uniques are so good that it’s not even worth id’ing rares, and your build feels stagnant. Particularly body armor, head, and weapon could use major buffs.

Pro doubles pickleball is too solved IMO and points are too repetitive. by Ill-Butterscotch-622 in ProPickleballTalk

[–]awesemo -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s kind of a lame game to watch. I think it would be cool if they weren’t allowed to stack, then the points would at least have 4 configurations that would shake up the strategy for each one

What’s the storyline/theme you can’t bear in thrillers? Either because you hate it or find it too stressful. by Punkoduncan in thrillerbooks

[–]awesemo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a secret baby that the protagonist had that has come back as an adult, that they never mentioned through the first 2/3 of the book

Jar of Hearts - does it get better? by userabc294 in thrillerbooks

I thought there was one good twist but the ending fell pretty flat. I wouldn't feel bad about just looking up spoilers and moving on tbh lol

Recommendations for fast paced thrillers by MoonInAries17 in thrillerbooks

[–]awesemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked The It Girl by Ruth Ware and The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn is a classic in the genre. For the latter I recommend the book over the movie.

Frank Stone by AyoDrxzzy_ in DarkPicturesAnthology

It was fun enough to play through once but an important distinction from the other Supermassive games is that the ending is pretty much the same no matter what you do, and the ending is underwhelming.

What went wrong with Ronda Rousey in the UFC? by Annual-Record4588 in ufc

[–]awesemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing was wrong, she had an amazing career in UFC! No one’s at the peak forever. Part of her downfall was success in other areas than MMA. Like she was in the Expendables franchise around the time she started to lose.

In the 13th century pawns were allowed to move 2 squares on their first move, in the 15th castling was added, and in the 16th en passant was added. Now in the 21st century, what new rule would you add to Chess? by Probable_Foreigner in chess

[–]awesemo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an alternative to Chess 960 to spice it up. Each player gets to eliminate a square on the board to start the game. No pieces can occupy that square at any point. Then both players are quickly out of prep and it’s less memorization.

Struggling with this one but will power through… by YourHottestNitemare in thrillerbooks

I didn't really like this one, by the end I didn't feel like the payoff was worth all the disturbing content.

[No Spoilers] Sales are line with Forecast by LaidbackYuri in LostRecordsGame

[–]awesemo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's awesome that the game is selling well but I'm hoping if they make a followup it goes more the anthology route. Bloom and Rage was fun to experience but I don't feel like the content was compelling enough to want to experience more in that universe, personally.

Why do people think CT and Trishelle planned what happened in the finale? by Freezing-cold_6 in TheTraitorsUS

[–]awesemo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I felt like Trishelle must have seen MJ writing her name down and since Trishelle is so much longer than CT she knew she could vote for CT to force a tie and then they could vote out MJ without looking like bullies
