There are horror games, and then there are games about horrors. I'm sorry you were put through that.

That sinking feeling that you are about to become the Main Character of winter

It goes into that weird thing that genuine appreciation is somehow considered less intellectual than criticism but everybody is getting trained to be such a cynical unfeeling asshole nowadays that I find the smartest people often are the “hell yeah cool song/drawing/story/video” people

I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it *is* intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful in art except for a way to seem snidely clever

Nice, I'll look her up!

I love these subtle things weaving between the two sister-series. On that note, it also feels like Something how deliberate the divide seems in how Hazbin gives us the Overlords while Helluva gives us the Sins.

Note to self: design more fictional planets as unbelievably METAL as this real one

Given RFK Jr would be considered assbackwards even by medieval plague doctors, I genuinely didn't realize this was The Onion at first

I tend to call these sorts of people the parasite class but I don't want anyone getting confused and thinking that I mean what the corporate/fascist/billionaire parasite class mean when THEY say parasite class.

On that note here's the article I did two years ago about Supernatural's two least best story decisions, coming from the perspective of someone who cherishes the impact the show had on me and is coming from a place of love thegamerslookingglass.com?p=883

I'll come down hard on a work if I need to, but when I do I want to think there's a good reason I'm doing that and I try at all costs to avoid insane statements like "all [entire media form] has been shit since 2003" or other equally deranged sentences. (2/3)

I've heard this exact statement repeated constantly about every single form of media every generation I've been alive and it's always wrong and I'm so, so tired of this shit

I'm fascinated by the Speaker. As a divine-adjacent bird she's like a serene, matronly foil to the infernal Goetias and their emotional struggles and/or power games. And her singing voice, hnngh, like something off of a Nightwish/Within Temptation album, hope we hear more music with her on it.

This is one of my favourite aspects of the art style, and tbh I actually relate to it on an emotional level way harder than any "realistic human" type media, ngl

Basically just a dumber way of saying what you just said, yes 😂
