  • It’s more like it’s tyranny of the majority, where some popular style or VFX or meme or dominates the landscape. Figet spinners, Stanley tumblers, bean mouth animation, Vaporwave, that time Terminator 2 came out and everybody was showing off liquid metal VFX like it was out of style, the same thing with VCR screen fuzz on videos now, etc. I think Tiktok has made this problem infinitely worse, since all it takes is some random video to get insanely popular, and suddenly people are consuming some other shitty product, or eating cleaning products, or doing something else fatally stupid.

    And yes, it’s incredibly easy to download some Ghibli art style. Or any art style, really.











  • I find that hard to believe.

    • Draw distance sucks for a vast ocean of plants and sealife. Seriously, I have a really good video card, and this fucking Unity engine can’t draw 500 feet in front of me.
    • So many wall “suggestions”, clipping, other graphical glitches, especially near the end area
    • Incredible music, but it’s barely heard because the game either cuts it off midway through or decides to go silent most of the time
    • Bad save serializations that can sometimes spam a ton of error messages on load
    • You can’t kill anything, including warpers that are more dangerous than leviathans
    • Can’t walk with a Prawn in an alien base, because you end up getting stuck on the floor for some reason
    • Reaper in caves, who can drop you off the map
    • An insulting unrealistic O2 meter, and not enough keyslots
    • The Cyclops is. Fucking. Useless. By the time you get this thing, the leeches in volcano areas fuck you over, when power is already a precious resource. And it still needs full upgrades to make it even remotely useful in Lost River.
    • Torpedos are useless. Flares, Floating lockers, air pipeworks, nuclear reactor, alien containment, all useless.
    • Death might as well be like hardcore, since losing a vehicle is worse than losing 30 minutes of progress
