The first one that was deliberately a horror film that I can recall is seeing the very start of Aliens on tv and getting to the point where the soldiers discover the woman who gets chestburst, then immediately shutting the tv off and going to bed.

There must have been some scary childrens movies along the way but thats the first one I can remember that was too much for me.

Genuinely can’t imagine being mad about this part of character creation when the more pressing issue for if you are a big gamer who care about video games, is that the game doesn’t let you pick your own skills.

Boltgun, it got hyped to hell and back as an epic awesome BOOMER SHOOTER but its literally not a boomer shooter, it’s just doom 2016 with pixels.

Just felt really boring to keep being locked into rooms and having a bunch of shit spawn at me until I kill enough for the game to decide to release me. Also the weapon balance felt off, you get an upgrade powerup in almost every level that upgrades a gun for that level, but the only gun worth upgrading seems to be the titular boltgun, the default weapon, cause it gets like doubled mag size, pinpoint accuracy, big damage etc, while other guns just get gimmicks like bouncing shotgun shells.

They even manage to make guns with wild differences and gimmicks in the legendary tier but then those are divided into “dumb gimmick that makes the gun suck” and “gun whos gimmick is that it shoots 10 shots at once and does more damage than god”

Bioshock 2 also had like, “Ooooh we did individualism in the last one but now this villain wants to do collectivism instead!!!”

I keep hearing shit about Starfield that sounds literally like a parody, there’s classes(backgrounds) now with preset skills and also some history stuff that may or may not matter in quests, so you might expect there to be a custom one.

Well there is a background labeled, “FILE NOT FOUND” that remarks that they have no biographical data on you.

This is not a custom background, it also has preset skills you cannot change, presumably it might in fact actually also not even be a blank slate since the description has some vague hints that someone deliberately erased you from the system, but who knows.

Could not make this shit up.

The game seems to literally look bleak and washed out as well, every screenshot or video clip is colorless as hell.

Glad to be studying again so I can get some real post-exam stress nightmares.

This time my brain decided to cook up a dream about my dad getting untreatable brain cancer that was also somehow all a setup for a visual pun. Felt like dogshit the whole way through the dream then I got the pun right before waking up and I didn’t even feel bad anymore just baffled and dazed.
