Do you ever think we’ll see a remaster of The Ship now that Mafia style vidgames are in vogue? Among Us x The Ship crossovers.

Apparently flying eaves were curved because evil spirits could only move or form orthogonally? Either way this has been my headcanon whenever my avatar or an npc move like a grid bug.

I have a hard time imagining this! My recollection of The Ship was that matches just devolved into “kill everyone” murder-fests in the security blind spots, as there wasn’t enough incentive to stay in the safe areas. Among Us impressed me in part because it solves the problems that The Ship could not.

i made a whole long rant thread on twitter that i deleted because i don’t need to relive yet more of the large amount of videogame world PTSD i have in public view like that but:

being someone who was trying to honestly write criticism about games and also trying to like develop games and also like depend on other game devs to give me work doing music for their games or supporting my patreon so i could stay afloat fucking sucked as far as being able to develop or feel confident about my work in any of those zones and kind of handicapped my ability to do any of those things particularly well. i’m also just kind of an outsider and i have no idea how i ended up going to stuff like GDC and feeling like i needed to be some kind of advocate when i actually hated doing all of that immensely. did i mention how much of a nightmare all of that turned out to be and how several friendships i made in the space have fallen apart in horrible excruciatingly public dramas and i live in fear of some of those people coming back to hurt me and my livelihood somehow just because i happened to be in the line of fire and i have constant horrible headaches when i think about how much time i wasted down that particular wormhole and why did i even think making some of those friendships or putting my time down in a space i hated was ever a good idea to begin with.

the dialog cutscenes for silent hill 1 are so good, just the perfect dumb, pugnacious half-aware sleeptalking, everyone becoming increasingly frustrated at not being able to communicate for some invisible reason and getting ever more abrupt and terse as a result

tried to figure out what it reminded me of and i think it’s the bart the general emotional universe more than anything

it’s almost impossible to declare it self-aware because halting, disconnected voicework is so damn hard and was so endemic but it fits them so well

just like the 60fps movies in Silent Hill 2. Self-consciously playing up the over-emoting CG animators
