  • I also just recently finished it! I can see why it got such rave reviews. I played on PC with a controller, but in scenes that required shooting I would find myself dropping the controller to use my mouse. Only having a dozen shots when you’re facing 10 enemies sucks. The scene where Ellie is trapped in a room and has to fight off a hoard mostly on her own was probably the scene I had to replay the most as I kept running out of ammo. I also hated the stalkers but I’m glad they were used sparingly throughout the game.

    The writing is amazing and I also enjoyed listening to the commentary. Joel learning to rely on Ellie as an equal part of their survival team and not just a kid he has to protect is such a great arc. I also love how it’s contrasted with that weirdo religious leader who kidnaps her. He tells her not to curse and to act like an obedient daughter, but that’s not what she is. I always wondered why Joel never told Ellie to watch her language but I understood after that weirdo did it.

    I bought Part 2 and am hoping to find some time to sit down and play it!


  • Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.












  • I have a friend who has worked for 3 companies over 6 years. She has never once released a game as they were all cancelled before release. She found out she lost her job at one company after reading an interview about a bunch of studios being shut down. One of them was the place she worked. Even her boss apparently didn’t know.

    The studio she works at now initially hired her for completely remote work, but they’ve since changed their minds and now she has to drive over 100km to work every day. She was going to quit but she’s sticking with it for now in the hopes of finishing at least one game.
