My English Degree Was Supposed to Teach Me About Books But I Learned A Lot About Video Games Instead

[@Craig-gq9wd]

Loved the video. I’m also a happy English grad & feel like a kindred spirit. Loved the way you processed information so thoughtfully

Rock and stone!

I’m a simple man. I see BL2 and Slaughterhouse V and I click. Good video, even without any Vonnegut. Idk, maybe I missed something. I’m half awake as it is.

I didn't make the connection in the video, but pointed it out in the description. One of Maya's voice lines in BL2 when you kill someone is "so it goes", which is the line the narrator in Slaughterhouse V says whenever someone dies. Given how many other things are references in the game, I assume it's a reference, but to be fair, it could just be coincidence.

I haven't had a chance to watch the video and see what you're really saying, but on a video like this I want to mention SIGNALIS. Just scrolling over the sections of the video, and the overall vibe you're talking about, I think it might be up your alley. It's quite good.

@@erinthash6467 Someone in my Steam family owns it, so I'll give it a look!

Great content. Thanks!

Loved the video man. I can hear the passion you have for videogames in your voice. I do too. My suggestion goes to Outer Wilds... I would love to watch a video like this about your take on Outer Wilds if you have the chance to play it. Keep it up brother!

[@paxmelchizedecis]

I did play the Outer Wilds! I'll definitely think about it, I did like the game, but it's hard to make a video about the game without spoiling all the reasons to play the game, so I'll give it some thought. Thank you for watching!

I love it! Thanks for sharing! I think Terraria would be one of the games not mentioned that I love going back to with friends, and Dave the Diver leaves me with the same style of "ah man, the numbers can no longer meaningfully go up" nostalgia that Elden Ring did for you. Time is Honey and Outpath are two simple games that masterfully paired music with game play that made it a delight to 100% them, and Apico had lots of fun bee things that made me smile, even if I am still annoyed that they didn't expect me to know how basic punnet squares work.

Explanations only when I feel like it: Entertaining - Bastion Engaging - Metroid Prime, where all exploration is rewarded with either knowledge or power. The experience, audibly and visually, is nothing to sneeze at either. Challenging - Monster Hunter (World or Generations Ultimate are likely the hardest) The grind sparks joy. Experience - Wind Waker. Particle Effects. Sailing. Enough said. I only wish I had more to do in the world. Connection - Spyro the Dragon, the original on the ps1 beats out the remake but both are good.
