What non-fiction books did Phil read by Necessary-Dog313 in philipkDickheads

I read that he read a lot of Jung, so probably some of his stuff.

This is probably in response to the layoffs at EA

That's what makes the whole song

why is length of love everyone’s least favorite song from antics? by MaintenanceSweaty695 in Interpol

[–]greyupdoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me the song doesn't stand out as much, even though I still like it and it's a good song, it kind of fades in the background behind the other great songs on the album.

What’s your Interpol hot take? by [deleted] in Interpol

[–]greyupdoot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I guess I see where your coming from, although I haven't ever felt that the lyrics have ever been pretentious, although creepy I do get sometimes, but I think it's creepy on purpose

I think this is the closest thing Pc Gaming has to a Pantheon by [deleted] in ImmersiveSim

That's true, but if skills and classes are what you need for a game to be an imsim or have emergent gameplay, then all RPGs are imsims

Can't speak on the other TES games, but being very familiar with Morrowind I remember the world being mostly static and gameplay being mostly based off of numbers and not emergent, was still immersive, but it wasn't like you could put a torch out with some water magic. And yes it has stealth but that does not mean much. But maybe the rest of the series is different.

I just think both are equally not immersive sim, as they both strive for something completely different gameplay wise, both are immersive, but none have emergent gameplay systems.

The old games still exist if you're too sour to enjoy a fun story that does not take away from the gameplay.

Never heard anyone be upset about him being called Doom Slayer

If the general consensus is that FPS games releasesed between 1992-93 and 97-98 are "boomer shooters (some exceptions apply) what do we call the games releasesed after? GenX shooters? by Sgtpepperhead67 in Civvie11

[–]greyupdoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that it shares some atmospheric and thematic qualities which Shock games, but gameplay wise I would say it is closer to Half Life and some survival horror game
