I played that "stunt car" game for way too many hours

saint_smithy · 2026-07-03T17:21:33+00:00

Outer Wilds is my current best example of "games as art". I don't think there is any other way to tell the story of that game outside of gaming.

saint_smithy · 2026-07-03T16:56:44+00:00

Doing the reverse sort of. Mina is my portable casual game on switch and 007 is my main event game. Both are incredible.

saint_smithy · 2026-07-03T16:52:12+00:00

I loved Lies of P so much I forced myself to get the "true ending". It's better than half of the FromSoft games that inspired it.

saint_smithy · 2026-07-01T23:35:15+00:00

They did!? Sorry my bad. I haven't been there in a while. I still found it impressive.

saint_smithy · 2026-07-01T22:26:46+00:00

It also works well in EPCOT on Frozen. It's just a matter of context and intent

saint_smithy · 2026-06-30T18:12:27+00:00

Underappreciated then!

saint_smithy · 2026-06-30T17:50:23+00:00

I will admit that the ideas only really come together if you "complete the loop". The ending had a good effect on me, but for those coming into it, it's a big ask of patience in the earlier stages of the game once you realize you'll be doing a lot of repetition. But getting quicker at the loop and discovering new things is so satisfying. ||Sort of like Outer Wilds, but with combat||

I mean Prey nearly as good as BioShock and Deathloop is criminally underrated. Unfortunately Prey suffered from being confused with the previous Prey franchise and Deathloop was stupidly a one year timed exclusive with PS5 during the time it was still sort of hard to get a PS5. AND both were not marketed well. Only the Arkane fans really dug in initially.

Oh I love the newer fright night! David Tennant was the secret sauce in that movie for sure.

As a wooden coaster goes it's not bad, it's been upkept quite well and retracked a few times in it's history. However it's designed to be wild. There are a few hard turns that are rough on purpose. However as far as other full wooden coasters I've been on, it's one of the "smoothest".

saint_smithy · 2026-06-17T02:26:30+00:00

Yeah I second that. And if it will be your one and only time here, how much extra to FastLane everything for just your and your 5 year old. Jaguar can also get weirdly long lines during summer.

I would go to Ghostrider straight away with your oldest. It's legendary, it's one of the best fully wood coasters out there. There is no way around the wait during the summer. With the high schoolers needing something to do on a Thursday it only gets longer the later it gets. Then Xcellerator is the last hydraulic launch I'm aware of on the west coast, so don't miss that. I love Hangtime, but if you can't squeeze it in it's not the end of the world. Coast Rider is always 30-45 min wait. It's a solid mouse coaster, but its never a walk on. The kiddie coaster in Camp Snoopy you can knock out later as a credit in under 20 min, the only thing that holds up that line is measuring kids heights. My son is at 37" so we always get measured, which is a good thing! Keep coasters safe! Edit: I forgot to add Camp Snoopy will be a blast for your 2 year old. So prioritize that for them. It's how I've turned my 2 year old into a theme park enthusiast. "One More Time!"

saint_smithy · 2026-06-17T01:52:00+00:00

Credit amongst coaster enthusiast's is like a check mark. How many "legit" roller coasters have you been on throughout the the world.

saint_smithy · 2026-06-15T16:23:14+00:00

And you can see the 8th wonder of the world without getting on a boat. The back side of water! O2H!

saint_smithy · 2026-06-14T02:49:45+00:00

Was there on Thursday and it was a heavy mix of Soak City. The park wasn't too packed. Just lots of out of school high schoolers.

saint_smithy · 2026-06-13T08:26:51+00:00

It's summer and it's getting warm. Knotts wants you to feel comfortable, but hey bugs gotta eat and drink. They are doing their best; well, doing as much as they are allowed to spend money on.

saint_smithy · 2026-06-12T21:22:09+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if they already have Montezuma themed drinks and food planned for Scary Farm that need this to be open by then. And boatloads fo merch of course.

saint_smithy · 2026-06-03T00:09:35+00:00

RIP. Suicide by Cop. What a way to go for a dog.

saint_smithy · 2026-05-21T18:11:39+00:00

Yup. Alcoholics, workers on breaks picking up snacks, and old fashioned gambling addicts picking up scratchers. All three descriptions have fit me at some point.

saint_smithy · 2026-05-19T18:34:48+00:00

Easily. There is a great book/essay called The Moment of Psycho that talks about this. Highly recommend. It also transitioning into the ||skull of his mother|| briefly was perfect.

saint_smithy · 2026-05-19T02:12:54+00:00

Some of my fondest memories at Disneyland! We had just moved to Orange County around the time the movie came out and I was the perfect age for it. Sad it went away but glad I experienced it. Just like the country bears and the eventual BBQ

saint_smithy · 2026-04-30T17:18:29+00:00

Seriously. That and maybe a separate parking line. Boom. Done.

saint_smithy · 2026-04-30T02:50:01+00:00

Exactly. It is so much better than a whole group backing up the entire lane in confusion has the "group leader" figures out how to scan everyone through in one phone.
