[@GeometricPidgeon]

Really depends. I've been alternative for most of my life and I like facial piercings, when done right, not every piercing looks great on every person. Just like other things like clothes. Gotta make it work, a sportswear inspired look is going to look bad on someone who isn't fit. If men rly hated it that much there wouldnt be so many dudes thirsting for goth chicks.

Yup

[@jzpowell2108]

I’m going to go out a limb and say that the actual ending for TLOU was that in the first game you actually sacrifice Ellie and cure the zombie fungus… the only reason we got TLOU:2 is because someone snuck their fanfic into the ideas for new games and it somehow got picked…

@@jzpowell2108no, it would of been an excellent stand alone, and made it even more legendary. like blood borne. Money is too loud.

[@DragonOfTheMortalKombat]

TLOU is overrated garbage in my opinion, there's no real gameplay in it, most of the game is cutscenes, looks boring and overhyped beyond belief. And then this studio decided to make last of us their whole identity, released a trash sequel, milked remakes and remasters. Now with concord 2.0, they've become everything wrong with modern western AAA gaming

What will make this an assured loss is that unlike "The Last of Us part 2" this isn't a sequel that survived riding the coattails of the previous entry of a franchise.
