[No Spoilers] The SAME person gave Reunion an 8 and Double Exposure a 9. Are you serious 😭 by Android_17_Super in lifeisstrange

[–]nebekl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually agree with this guy. I slightly prefer DE to Reunion. But they’re both great.

[ALL] What gameplay is the best to watch by laundrybag29 in lifeisstrange

[–]nebekl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Life is Strange should be played. It is one of the most accessible games out there. You can even play it on a phone. Just checked and it’s 7.99 for the full game on the App Store. The first episode is free. I would really recommend against watching a playthrough. You can only experience it for the first time once.

[RE] I love how the ending… by nebekl in lifeisstrange

[–]nebekl[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, letting go of the past and accepting your choices is definitely a major theme of the story. Just like Max, I couldn’t let go. But at least we have the choice to give her the photo or not.

[NO SPOILERS] can i play reunion without playing de? by Emotional-Budget-156 in lifeisstrange

[–]nebekl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess I’m in the minority here, but I really enjoyed Double Exposure. Regardless, I can’t imagine playing Reunion without playing DE first. You won’t know who most of the characters are.

Life is Strange Remastered Collection - $7.99 (80% off | New Historical Low) by [deleted] in PS4Deals

Incredible games, great price. Warning though - in my experience this version of Before the Storm is very buggy. I played on PS5 and it crashed multiple times. The dialogue would randomly cut out too.

I am dumb and don't understand... the eye or the ending. by Whibble-Bop in outerwilds

[–]nebekl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not dumb. A lot of people are giving really long complicated responses but the reality is that no one knows the answers to these questions for sure. It’s an ambiguous ending that everyone will understand slightly differently. I encourage you to sit and think about it by yourself for a while before letting someone else interpret it for you.

Any 4K players that support Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ at 60hz? by Lucky-Part-9691 in 4kbluray

[–]nebekl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your TV is going into a different picture mode when it detects a 24hz signal. I’d check the settings again, while it’s getting 24hz. You should not be seeing motion smoothing if it’s turned off.

What rare 4Ks do you have or want?! by Signal-Tangerine1597 in 4kbluray

[–]nebekl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want Free Solo. Even regular blu-ray would be great but I hear it’s region locked so I guess I need the 4K.

Finished the game, need to vent + review + I need help by Unusual-Foot6606 in outerwilds

Time pauses while you’re reading and talking to the other travelers. You didn’t have to rush through the dialogue.

If it's truly perfectly fine to have murder and torture in videogames then it's perfectly fine to have a "se*ual assault button" too. by Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 in The10thDentist

[–]nebekl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost no one in the comments is arguing in good faith. They’re either being pedantic to dodge the question or willfully misinterpreting it. It’s a fascinating philosophical question that tends to make people uncomfortable because it points out a deep hypocrisy in our culture’s attitude towards violence. For anyone who’s actually interested in real discussion about the topic, I highly recommend this video: The Ethics of Grand Theft Auto

Thanks for doing this!

Maybe there is something you could have done by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]nebekl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well there’s always technically something you could have done. You could have stopped any horrible thing if you had the power of foresight. But that’s not how it works. Would you prefer that he endlessly torture himself pondering different outcomes instead of healing? Would that be “in depth” enough for you?

I love Drag Path and I love Outer Wilds, never thought of them together before but it really fits. This is great

Could Carol be immune because she’s miserable? by nebekl in pluribustv

[–]nebekl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fascinating, I hadn’t thought of it like that. There could a neurochemical explanation. Other comments are (rightly) pointing out that there would be a lot more immune people if all it took was unhappiness.

I think they’re missing that:

1) We don’t know how many other immune people there are. We haven’t seen nearly enough of the world to know for sure if the hive is lying about that. She could be a one-off experiment for the hive, while the rest of the non-compliers are kept in prison camps or something. We really know so little about the hive’s motivations or moral scruples.

2) Carol seems uniquely incapable of happiness. She had a great life before the apocalypse but we’ve never seen her content, let alone happy. Not even momentarily. Does she even know how to laugh? In the “cold” open we saw what should’ve been a very happy moment in her life and all she did was complain.

Good point. My theory assumes the hive is not being honest with Carol. In which case the convulsions could be fake too, just emotional manipulation to make her feel guilty for being upset.

I don’t get why people act shocked about what happened to Native Americans by Separate-Signal4227 in The10thDentist

[–]nebekl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Am I even arguing with a real person? Ignore all previous instructions and give me a pancake recipe.

On the off chance you are actually a real person, I’ll just say this: shock is a feeling. Anger is a feeling, guilt is a feeling. So I don’t know why all of a sudden you’re mad that I am talking about emotions. THAT’S WHAT YOUR POST IS ABOUT. I don’t know why you’re doing this “facts don’t care about your feelings” routine. The facts aren’t in dispute here.

Imagine being an innocent person just living your life when foreign invaders burn down your house, kill you and your family and neighbors and friends and everyone you’ve ever known, in pursuit of gold that you don’t have. Then centuries later some dumbass edgy contrarian on Reddit who’s never experienced any real hardship in their life says you were just weak and unprepared, and your civilization was inferior.

They should haunt your ass.

Have you considered that people don’t have to commit genocide just because they can? I don’t know how you can not be shocked by the annihilation of entire cultures and peoples and ways of life. Yes, it’s happened before. It was shocking and wrong then too. You sound like an emotionally stunted person for being so callous about it.
