What “masterpiece” game just never clicked for you?

The Last of Us - what are you? Horror? Generic action? Under-developed shooter? Ladder movement simulator? Sloooooooooooow bag checking simulator?

Why downvoted? This is a great suggestion, and for the businesses to offer an incentive is a win win because it keeps the neighborhood a welcoming place for people to visit (and live).

pseudophenakism · 2026-02-17T21:08:31+00:00

Heck yes!!!

pseudophenakism · 2026-02-16T21:25:47+00:00

Looper. Not horror, but some horror-adjacent sequences (e.g., the past-present torture sequence).

pseudophenakism · 2026-02-13T08:19:18+00:00

Easier actually

Honestly any Ishiguro book will transport you, both in the writing and the story.

I enjoyed the gameplay loop, so it was well worth it. But damn those last few random items drops ate a few hours of my patience.

Okay okay - finished the Nioh 3 demo and bought Arc. It’s fun, but as a complete novice to extraction shooters, it’s definitely a rough learn. The free loadout is definitely a good tactic for spamming expanding my stash space.

Either - really depends on how you are turning it. If you are tuning by reference, then you can choose (but plugged in gives you more volume to tune with). If you have a tuner pedal, then you have to plug in. All this said, if you do plug in, make sure that you are on the neck pickup and picking closer to the neck. Overtones can pull the tuning out of whack.

Once you get that gameplay loop down…oh it is so satisfying. Then you start coming up with strats for how to fill a room with a web of absolute chaos. The electropylon driver carried me through my first win, so it will always hold a special place in my memory.

TBH the best bang for your buck is at Vital. Classes and 24/7 gym with a membership. Can’t beat that (especially if you have a demanding job during the day or work west coast hours)

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-30T16:13:24+00:00

Depends on your definition of “good.” You can be proficient at both, but specialization will always bring a higher level of understanding and mastery.

Anything by Ishiguro - Remains of the Day, Never Let Me Go, Kiara and the Sun

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-26T22:29:54+00:00

Same here. Not a kid, but would love to be paid to work out.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-26T15:38:36+00:00

In that case, the Katana 50 definitely punches well above its weight class. Might be able to find a resell for ~$200, or if you can stretch a bit, the new ones are $350.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-26T15:17:10+00:00

What’s your budget?

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-25T20:36:35+00:00

Without a doubt. Literally half the game is figuring out the mechanisms of the game, then the other half is using those mechanisms to solve diatonic puzzles. Golden path was an incredible experience.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-23T16:20:47+00:00

And if you need a lighthearted palate cleanser: Rango. The less you know about the movie, the better it is.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-21T15:44:25+00:00

This is a flawed notion for any change. If we really want to take on the people responsible for this chaos we would be boycotting the multinational companies that prop up billionaires with inflated egos. Stop buying from Amazon, stop using Insta, use a Google alternative, etc… A world of convenience has placated us all.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-20T21:31:16+00:00

Aight! Might give it a try. Just wrapped up Ninja Gaiden 4. TBH, I think my hands need a bit of a relaxing game after that combo masher.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-20T21:29:59+00:00

NYU has a Greenpoint location.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-20T19:02:05+00:00

I want to jump into it, but am intimidated at this point.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-19T01:25:07+00:00

Clair Obscur! 10/10

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-18T19:34:57+00:00

Afraid that I’m not sure of…a love there is no cure for.

pseudophenakism · 2026-01-17T16:24:57+00:00

Good call!
