When are we gonna just start gassing these people seriously

Oh, you can upgrade your base abilities too, nice. Going to have to build up a lot of faith (the currency) in order to do it but that will be good.

At a puzzle with some scarecrow enemies. The enemies are really cool but holy shit the clues for the puzzle are so bad. They give you red herrings like some sort of sick joke. One of them just flat out didn't make sense and I had to figure it out via process of elimination, now my weapon is almost gone because I spent so much of it on killing these stupid things. Not to mention the game randomly spawns more, too. Really frustrating.

There's no 180 turn button. I know it isn't as necessary when a game has full movement and camera control, but it would still be nice to have.

Ooh, the game has the equivalent of fairies in Zelda. Hand mirrors that break. I think there was a very similar thing in Fatal Frame 2, no?

There's this weird bubbles filter over the screen I just noticed. I don't like that... Why do devs insist on putting weird shit over the camera and not giving you the option to turn it off? Stuff like film grain and vignettes.

There's this doll giving me advice but I can't take any of it. I want to follow it, and bad things happen when I don't, but apparently my character is fucking retarded so that the story can move on as intended. The doll seems more like a foreshadowing tool than anything else.

The combat is fine when you're in more open areas. The camera is really close though so when you're in a place that is really cramped, the camera gets even closer and you can't even tell where you're moving. It's REALLY annoying. This is why fixed camera angles are fantastic for this sort of game, the developer can directly control what you can and can't see so they can tailor enemy encounters for it. "Modern camera" shit makes it impossible to set things up this way unless your level design is way more open so you can see the character at the same distance all the time. I would much rather have fixed camera angles, or at the very least a camera that can actually clip through and occlude the geometry. I'm really sick of the copy and pasted modern camera that is shit for stuff like this. I've almost died several times because I dodged into a wall I couldn't see.

The camera in general feels really claustrophobic and not in a good way. As soon as you get into those really tight corridors it becomes more of a burden. If I want to see what's in the next room as I'm going down a tight staircase I really can't because the wall just zooms the camera in on my character's head instead. It's a very good thing I'm playing this on a TV instead of my monitor because you also can't change the FOV and it is quite narrow. Just... Sick of these cameras man.

I think one of the "omamori" (basically equippable upgrades) is broken. It says it enhances the effects of other omamori but it doesn't seem to interact with the one that gives me more HP. That's incredibly unfortunate. That's the whole reason I unlocked a second slot...

Alright, first time looking at a walkthrough. This fucking box puzzle makes no sense to me at all. Sweet and tart fruit on a cake, wtf. Okay so apparently I had the right idea but one of the images does NOT look like a fruit man, idk it looks like a leaf and nuts or something not a fruit.

That'll be all for today. I'm actually enjoying this game way more than I thought I would. Camera issues aside, it's been pretty dang good so far. Again... Just really not making me think of Silent Hill. This is 100% its own thing with its own lore and everything.

@branman65 @SuperSnekFriend @sun don't forget the bachelor/bachelorette parties...
for one of my friend's bachelor parties we just went to top golf. the other ones didn't have them.

none of my friends did anything too crazy. they all have had their weddings and/or receptions in farmlands and forests and shit. that's the way to do it man.

i'm probably going to have this exact same conversation with winter, too. "it's late november and we still haven't had any snow, what the hell?" yeah winter doesn't start until december 21st man, big surprise.

one of my friends a few years ago straight up said "man they really need to change where the seasons are, it feels like summer lasts until the end up september" and i just looked at him like

@branman65 @SuperSnekFriend @sun if i ever get married i'd love to have the ceremony in the woods somewhere and then get a decent little place for a reception and that's about it. i think that's perfect. so much better to use any extra money for your life together instead of just one day, or even an extravagant honeymoon.

all these mother fuckers complaining that it was still so hot even though it's autumn and i kept telling them "autumn hasn't started yet" and they roll their eyes.

well autumn is here now and guess what, it's not hot anymore. the high for today was 70. perfection.

@SuperSnekFriend @sun make people think it is so unattainable that they may as well not even try? that's where my mind immediately goes.

@bajax dude, that's fucking awesome news. it sounds like they are no longer with us, i'm sorry to hear about that. but it's a blessing that she left you with that to help you out. may you pass it on to someone else some day :)

@SuperSnekFriend @sun although I will say a lot of this is still pretty fucking unattainable for a lot of people. It's just that it isn't this much, which makes it even worse tbh.
