No i didn’t mean walkthroughs.

Yes, exactly.

Yes I completely agree. The best source for game issues I’ve found is technical discord servers and asking people there. However this is not ideal either because:

1. Discord is entshitifying and will probably be dogshit in a few years (they recently announced they wanted to go IPO and we all know what that means.)

2. Discord is not searchable on search engines

3. Search within discord is dogshit

4. You have to ask people and wait for an answer which is not guaranteed.

I probably wouldn’t bank on Lemmy for tech advice. I see the same misinformation posted here as on Reddit for tech.

I’m not even that old and I still prefer reading because you can take screenshots of directions, flip to the correct spot, easily reference stuff, and copy/paste text. You can’t do any of that with video. I will never understand why people prefer video for this stuff.

Nah first game sucks.

Idk who down voted you. The first game was one if the most boring games I’ve ever played in my life.

At most, yes. I just didn’t wanna make 14 paragraphs of zeros lol.

Video game boycotts are an absolute fucking joke. Especially if organized here. I mean what % of consumers are on Lemmy? Like 0.00000000000000001%? For fuck sake.

Definitely anxiety.

Which communities do you mostly comment on? I’m probably just commenting on shitty ones. Lemmy shitpost and asklemmy are absolute dogshit.

The people on Lemmy make Reddit users look good. Seriously people here are mean as shit. At least on Resdit mean comments are usually downvoted.

Totally agree. People here are some of the worst I have ever seen. Like actually worse than Reddit. Easily. Pretty sure most people here are just miserable depressed fucks. Kinda makes sense honestly.

Lemme know your thoughts. I see how it has merit and is possible but yeah, it totally kills the vibe. Maybe it was something the devs put in but ultimately abandoned, but kinda didn’t scrub it all out prior to release.

There’s audio logs in theta of someone trying to reach carthage for instructions. It’s obvious. What’s unclear is if she’s doing it out psychosis or actually knows they’re still around.

Idk how much you dove into the lore, but have you ever read about the Carthage theory? There were some hints that Cathage Industries (who owned Pathos 2) were still around (they had other underwater facilities) and responsible for creating Simon and were monitoring the situation, sort of like Resident Evil Umbrella Corp style. Personally I’m not a huge fan of that theory as it takes away from the mood of the game, but it’s interesting and has a lot of merit.

Yea. It was really well done. I think it could totally be a TV show or a game. Idk if you feel this way but literally no game or movie or anything has ever made me feel as fucked up (in a good way) as SOMA did the first time I played it. I mean horror, philosophy, anger, sadness, denial. It had it all. I even made the same mistake that Simon makes where I totally didn’t want to believe that he would never really make it to the Ark (because copy paste, not cut paste.) It was just so good. Omg also the part where the guy is talking about killing yourself right after getting the scan…to obtain “continuity.” Absolutely crazy, even if the theory doesn’t make sense lol. I can see how in a moment of desperation that it could make sense to you.

You mean the live action web series? Yea I don’t understand how that series had better visuals than many blockbuster scifi movies rofl. It was extremely well done.

Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it’s fantasy. The new game has you riding a dragon for Christ’s sake. What don’t you understand?

What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it’s some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it’s certainly NOT Doom anymore.

GOG is fucked. As soon as services like this start talking about subscriptions, it’s already over.

It could have been a prequel. That would have been cool.
