we need to bring back gamefaqs. i don't wanna join your stupid discord. i don't wanna use your ugly shitty fandom wiki. i don't wanna have to dig through poorly-organzied reddit threads. we want bespoke ascii header art! we want plaintext documents and guides with minimal clutter that are properly indexed and easy to navigate!

Ah yes, tear everything down just to create a power vacuum for an authoritarian regime to swoop in, is that why its called a revolution?

I would just laugh at them at that point, why would someone buy something like that.

Ways I Show a Character is Emotionally Burned Out (Before They Even Realize It Themselves)
I love writing characters who think they’re fine but are actually walking emotional house fires with bad coping mechanisms.
They stop doing the things they used to love and don’t even notice. Their guitar gathers dust. Their favorite podcast becomes background noise. Their hobbies feel like homework now.
They pick the path of least resistance every time, even when it hurts them. No, they don’t want to go to that thing. No, they don’t want to talk to that person. But whatever’s easier. That’s the motto now.
They’re tired but can’t sleep. Or they sleep but wake up more tired. Classic burnout move: lying in bed with their brain racing like a toddler on espresso.
They give other people emotional advice they refuse to take themselves. “You have to set boundaries!” they say—while ignoring 8 texts from someone they should’ve cut off three emotional breakdowns ago.
They cry at something stupidly small. Like spilling soup. Or a dog in a commercial. Or losing their pen. The soup is never just soup.
They say “I’m just tired” like it’s a personality trait now. And not like… emotionally drained to the bone but afraid to admit it out loud.
They ghost people they love, not out of malice, but because even replying feels like too much. Social battery? Absolutely obliterated. Texting back feels like filing taxes.
They stop reacting to big things. Catastrophes get a blank stare. Disasters feel like “just another Tuesday.” The well of feeling is running dry.
They avoid being alone with their own thoughts. Constant noise. TV always on. Music blasting. Because silence = reckoning, and reckoning is terrifying.
They start hoping something will force them to stop. An accident. A missed deadline. Someone else finally telling them, “You need a break.” Because asking for help? Unthinkable.

>Claire, a young woman that lived on her own and is old enough to work, get married and have a child of her own.
>A "child".
Are we gonna call characters drawn in a cartoonish style like Elmer Fudd children now because they don't look like GI Jane?

I don't care for Stardew Valley or any "cozy" farmsim despite playing Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons since the naughts.
F-Zero/Star Fox/Eternal Darkness/Any Nintendo IP that never had a game in a decade outside of Smash Bros is dead. Accept it.
A Link to the Past is overrated, I prefer Link's Awakening.
Never cared for these off-brand homages to classic games (ex. Yooka-Laylee)
Give me your most controversial gaming opinions. I'll start
Witcher 3 is massively overrated. It's mid at best
Nintendo "innovates" too much and has only had max 2 good games per generation since the GameCube
Mass Effect Andromeda wasn't half as bad as people pretend it is
Final Fantasy 8 is a good game that got unfairly shafted by trying to accomplish the impossible task of following up FF7
Yellow Yoshi is best Yoshi
Indie gaming is, by and large, just as shallow and derivative and risk adverse as AAA gaming
