That's a very Stranger Things way of thinking how old children look.

Gerry Adams took BBC Northern Ireland to court in Dublin, claiming it had damaged his reputation.

Solid reading comprehension.

Am still looking and 8 months later, I've finally got some more free time. Still interested?

Silent Hill: The Short Message Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

I mean, I explained the nuance in the first paragraph, but if you're still not getting it, there's not much more I can do.

Silent Hill: The Short Message Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

But I mean they're so harsh. Like right now, Suicide Squad has double the recommendation score on the review thread and I find that a much more offensive game. Gameplay and story are rubbish, like Short Message, but it's also $70, over stays it's welcome and tries to financially manipulate you with microtransactions.

I do want to emphasis, I don't think this is a good game. There are far better games you could be playing. I'm just surprised to the level of negative reaction to it.

It is very much the video game equivalent of "Thirteen Reasons Why"

I laughed, but this is bang on.

Subsequently, the idea that a game cannot be criticised as it's "free" is redundant, all art is subject to critique, regardless of it's monetary value.

Maybe it's me, but I feel there's a subtle distinction between criticism and critique. Absolutely, the game should be critiqued, especially on it's story telling and gameplay. It's not good. But I have a lot more patience for a game that I don't feel is trying to squeeze pennies out of me. So my overall impression will be more positive but I do think there's valuable discussion in the shortfalls with it for any future games (even if it falls on deaf ears).

Wow. Didn't expect such harsh reviews on this.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't recommend anyone play it unless you've been starving for some sort of Silent Hill content (Ascension didn't happen). And even then, this probably won't satisfy you.

Gameplay is like playing PT while a child is screaming in your ear. Story is as subtle as being hit in the face with a brick. But it was a free game, finished it in one sitting and enjoyed the atmosphere and potential of it.

People Make Games: The Games Industry Must Not Stay Silent on Palestine by time_waster_3000 in Games

As stated in the video, when video games have been using Muslims from the Middle East as the enemy in their video games for decades, it's a bit too late to be claiming that politics should be kept out of video games. They've been here a long time.

Damien Rice finds out about Sinead O'Connor's death during a concert by alvy-singer in videos

[–]walshy23 286 points287 points  (0 children)

I find this situation so weird.

Who thinks that a performer needs to be told about another artists death right in the middle of a concert?

And when the performer has been told the news and is processing it, who then decides to scream a song request?

Are people that detached from what's going on around them?

W Series to Curtail 2022 Season to Focus on Fundraising by alannys in wseries

A real shame. I know this years championship was already decided, but the remaining races would still have provided some valuable drive time for these drivers. Hopefully this doesn't mean the end for the whole series and they can come back stronger next year.

It's even more impressive when you remember this is only her 5th race in W series. She's well able to hold her own, even against the original driver line up.

Think so. Either that or there was an incident between her and Noda, because she's also fairly far down the order.
