Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•No one spells "lose" anymoreEnglish
6·23 hours agoTwo others I mourn the death of, as in, it’s more often done wrongly than not, at least on the Internet:
“Led” as the past tense of “lead”: I basically never see it any more. People just use “lead” for the past tense; and
Singular “die.” People just use “dice” for both plural and singular. Though I occasionally see plural “die.” I hate this.

Truly one of the all-time greats and it drives me crazy because I can’t explain what makes it so good without spoiling it!

That death, and the “death” of half your controller, feels like an amputation. It makes it so real and visceral. Like real grief, the feeling is that a part of you has been ripped away. Frankly “meditations on grief” are a dime a dozen in indie games, but this one is one of the most intense ugly-cry gut-punches I have ever experienced in any medium. Well actually the ugly cry was later, when you realize the absolute devastation the father suffers.
But yeah, that controller trick–and realizing you even can use the other half to swim–phew. Just such a good game. Always happy when I see someone else who has played it.

Such a beautiful couple!

Came here to make an HR Giger joke but this is much better



Well, in a rare bit of good news, the cops did arrest the fascists, and impounded their two cars. Not disagreeing with you, just a note of hope in this shitshow
