People still don't understand how the internet works. People will find the worst take and treat it like it represents a movement of some kind. I highly suggest watching CGP Grey's "This Video Will Make You Angry" to understand it all better.

Until then, if one person out of literally dozens and dozens says something uncool, can we not take the bait and make it "a thing." She hasn't even started the position yet.

Re: Beautiful Disney-esque Horror 'Bye Sweet Carole' Gets Suitably Spooky Release Date

Disney-esque?? Did the race/gender swap someone??

jk!!

In all seriousness, this looks incredible. I love the hand-drawn style in video games and most of this looks buttery smooth. It looks like a level of scary that I could deal with, so that's a big plus. And a lot of the horror elements look very creative and not simply there for shock value. I think I'm gonna pick it up!

I know I'm kind of in the minority about this, but I care so much about game narratives that this kind of thing actually waters that down for me. I can be a little flexible, but stuff like this totally breaks the universe for me. I'm sure it will all be considered separate and non-canon, but I wish they wouldn't do it at all.

Just my 2 cents and I'm happy for those who are into it.

Re: Opinion: Metroid II Doesn't Care If Samus Lives Or Dies

I really enjoy the reflection on such an amazing game. But the title and supposed thesis of this article is a reach that even Mr Fantastic couldn't snag. I would bet anything it was a technical decision more than a narrative one. If you want to write this article with this premise, maybe, I don't know, wait until you have an interview with the people who made the game and ask them? Instead you're just putting a fan theory, mixed with a very personal feeling, out into the ether as if it is something more. That part of the article says more about the author than the subject. And that's not what the title implies.

Sorry, I was a journalism major, this kind of thing bugs me. Still love the rest of the article that is reflecting on that wonderful game without the click-baity title.
