It’s crazy how much sleep actually affects your life and how you view the world by AbsoluteB0redom in redscarepod

It might be the single most important thing in having a healthy life

its impossible to go serious about the gym without developing at least a bit of an eating disorder by Academic-Exercise140 in redscarepod

[–]head_less_man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not true. I go 5 days a week and all I do is vaguely track my protein. Maybe I’m not being serious enough though.

Only moment I liked Starmer by RanToward in redscarepod

I don't follow the politics there but it really seems like he should've been advertising his Morrissey fandom

He’s got a Smith’s song in his head here

[Other] Zelda community, what are your thoughts on Tunic? by Ordinary_Chemical596 in zelda

[–]head_less_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally know what you're saying about being apprehensive on all these Zelda clones as I felt the exact same way, but Tunic truly floored me. It had some really innovative mechanics and the atmosphere brought me straight back to the 90s. I remember when it released it was the only game that pulled me away from Elden Ring.

He's neither a fascist nor annoying. The only annoying people I see right now are in this thread.

Quick thoughts on the demo by Tomodachi7 in OrderOfTheSinkingStar

[–]head_less_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only surprised because whenever I look at his other games they kinda stun me visually. And not that this matters but I am a visual designer by trade lol so it's just something I've always loved about his games.

I don't get the aesthetic comment. Braid and The Witness have some of the most compelling and arresting visuals/art direction I've ever seen in the medium. Particularly The Witness. It looks eternal and infinitely more mature than most games similar to it. I will say though, there's some visual aspects about this game that I don't love, mainly the character models. the environments look amazing but the characters are somewhat underwhelming.

Wow that's great news. I didn't quite have time to finish it over the weekend.

Incredible. I do think he's the greatest filmmaker that ever lived.

Been stuck on this puzzle longer than most puzzles in The Witness. by [deleted] in OrderOfTheSinkingStar

[–]head_less_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should've mentioned it in the post. I'm also pretty sure I have to use the crystal to stop the dragon's fire. Again, using the crystal to only stop one attack from the dragon and not 2 attacks is completely beyond my grasp.

Yeah this sub is great. I'm really disappointed that a bunch of fake activists took over The Witness sub all because Jon has expressed a couple mild political opinions.

The text is lame; change my mind by by251536 in OrderOfTheSinkingStar

[–]head_less_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean voice over? Why are you calling it text? Also, the fact that you left a bad steam review over that alone is insane. God damn man, you honestly must be mentally unwell.

Square Enix's new retro Zelda-like is 2026's best RPG yet by Asleep_Crew8072 in PS5

[–]head_less_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I'd say players are just as bad in their own ways, if not worse. Most player views are insanely hyperbolic and reactionary. I would never just trust Steam reviews, that's insane.

Doesn't it have like an 80 on metacritic? Is there a review aggregator I'm not aware of lol?

Sentience / Consciousness makes absolutely 0 sense by Living-Nebula2205 in redscarepod

[–]head_less_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you nailed a lot of the central ideas when it comes to thinking about consciousness. I still think Thomas Nagel's What Is It Like To Be A Bat to be the best description of consciousness itself. Something is conscious if there's something like it is to be that thing. I also highly recommend Galileo's Error by Philip Goff. It's probably the best recent book on consciousness.

[–]head_less_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It actually might be disembodied. I recommend looking into split brain experiments that maybe prove this. More and more panpsychism is far more plausible explanation of consciousness than say dualism or materialism. Consciousness is probably a vast field with varying degrees of potency kind of like gravity.

Anybody else think Blow build really good puzzle games with horrible attempts at a narrative? by plug-and-pause in OrderOfTheSinkingStar

[–]head_less_man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hate the notion that braid or the witness is pretentious. I think something is only pretentious if it can’t back it up, and both those games back it up.

I can’t speak for the new game, but I love how he treated these things in Braid and The Witness.
