The time my very smart friend’s partner asked her, “So…what exactly IS pyramid head” to which my friend said something like “I dunno, basically a depiction of male sexuality”

i haven’t really played the game but isn’t that pretty accurate? like, it’s manifesting in that way coz of James’s feelings about his urges etc?

I haven’t played the game in 20 years but I thought Pyramid Head was James’s guilt. he’s attracted to Maria because she reminds him of how Mary used to be, and the sexual interpretation of Pyramid Head stabbing her with his spear is obvious. but it’s supposed to be a mirror for James and Mary, not James defending himself from his animalistic urges (too late)

James is so impossibly horny that his sexual urges tulpa persists beyond his own venture into Silent Hill and into the bad American Silent Hill games (not really but could you imagine…)

A videogame thing I think about a lot
Videogame motorcycles all feel like shit
Having ridden mopeds for like, IDK, 7 or 8 years at this point over possibly thousands of miles in a pretty hardcore fashion I am chronically let down by how motorcycles in videogames feel. They all feel universally terrible - overly twitchy or just generally uncontrollable - too fragile. And this doesn’t go for arcade racers either, sim racers are also guilty of this. I expected Polyphony Digital’s Tourist Trophy to feel incredible and instead the motorcycles feel impossible to control. I have memories of getting on the bikes for Manx TT Superbike and Motor Raid and those don’t feel like a real bike. Every single bike videogame is about getting on stupidly fast superbikes and generally feels like you’re going to die constantly. They don’t ever feel “good”. I think the last straw for me on this was the trike in Death Stranding, which feels stiff to control. This is a travesty. Thank you.

The one review for this I saw on youtube gave it a 5.5 and had a lot of anti-wokesters in the comments gloating about ‘final nail in the Sweet Baby coffin’ and ‘DEI fails again’ etc, so I guess maybe the publisher saw the final product and said “oh no it’s woke” and tried to sneak it out without any fanfare to avoid angry mobs.
No I don’t think so.
I think Bandai Namco Games is looking at their sister branch Bandai Online getting scuttled after the cancelation of Blue Protocol, and they’re choosing to put their marketing power behind the first Dragon Ball game to come out after Toriyama’s passing.
it was weird reading your post because at one school i was at, “gaylord” was an insult with a similar meaning to “queer”
in fact i had no idea what you were talking about, is it just a big cardboard box on a pallet? or is it just the box? i can’t tell. is gaylord also an insult in the US? i don’t know who anyaustin is either, but i don’t care very much about that.

Gaylord was used as a casual slur among kids when I was younger, not sure if it has persisted among the youth.
Finding out that it’s also the name of a shipping container of sorts was similarly a revelation. To this day I still find it very hard to hear in serious discussions about logistics, it’s very odd.

i was once in a computer recycling / second hand computer store run by rednecks and overheard one of them expressing annoyance at having to deal with a “gaylord from the city” and i will never be able to determine in which sense they intended the term

a “gaylord” is a term used in the US/Canada for a large (pallet-sized) cardboard box, typically with an open top, used for a variety of warehousing and logistics purposes. the name comes from the company (now defunct) that originally manufactured them back in the 1950s
as an insult i think it’s decades out of fashion here, but i don’t interact with enough young homophobes to know for sure
