  • Still not finished Signalis… struggling a bit with free time for gaming. Just wanted to say, I do play games for story and/or atmosphere. Like watching a movie, and I do like my movies to have a story or atmosphere.

    I hated the gameplay (for being very easy) and the story was meh on Death Stranding, but the mood and the feel of that game won me over, so I finished it and even went back to try 100%ing it.

    My job makes me having social interactions for most of my day, so a game that gave me the feeling of isolation and loneliness like Death Stranding 2 or 3 hours before sleeping was kind of pensive at the time. Few weeks after finishing the game, Covid happened, and since then I had few instances of isolation IRL, and it wasn’t nearly as introspective as Death Stranding. So I look fondly on that game even tho all the gaming aspects of it were boring IMO. Just the atmosphere was great.

    So yeah, I can consume any media if the atmosphere and/or story is enjoyable or challenging (in a positive way)

    I will check the video, I like video essays.



  • Signalis (on Switch)

    The music, the sounds, the visuals create a perfect mood. I’m not far into the story, but for now it’s very intriguing. One of the few games where I don’t mind the backtracking. Despite the retro look, the game is very immersive.

    There is some clunkiness tho. Might be better on a PC.

    If you like sci-fi with a bit horror, ambiguous storytelling, gloomy atmosphere, try it.


  • Killing children will surely get them before an international war crime tribunal. Yea? Am I right? They should, shouldn’t they? All those scum pilots and the politicians that buy them planes and bombs? Nürnberg could reopen those courtrooms? Or Hague? Aren’t they specializing in war crimes? Or are those courtrooms only for the enemies of “democracy©”?

    Fuck our democracy if it kills anyone, let alone FOUR THOUSAND (4000) children in ONE (1) MONTH. And fuck our psychopaths in the ‘white house’, the ‘bundestag’, the EU parliament, the UK parliament and all other imbeciles who decide that those children are okey to be killed.





  • I don’t like this trend! War movies in 10-20 years will be boring. No Rambos, no Schwarzeneggers, no Spielberg and Tom Hanks emotional patriotism! No funny casual racism, no casual homophobia, no casual misoginy… Did Mark Hamil play a terrorist in Star Trek after all? The End of an Era. We’re gonna have to watch films about how a bribed White House politicant struggles to keep up with weapon manufacture demands while managing to convince his wife not to divorce him because she feels neglected since he’s never at home… directed by Clint Eastwood.

    That’s boring. I’m out!
