I’m really confused by the word “woke” now.
It feels like it’s become a catch-all for anything that isn’t right wing? It’s like a not so subtle dog whistle.

Cool that’s good to know, thanks!
My guess is that people are getting into the Halloween Spooky vibes already! But otherwise, I don’t know. Darkwood was free on Xbox games with gold a long time ago, and I snagged it then, but I just never got around to it until now
Is titanfall 2’s multiplayer still active?
I tried darkwood this weekend, and it’s left me torn. I really enjoy certain aspects about it, but I feel like the pacing is weird.
I finished Still wakes the deep the other day and I thought it was ok. It was an interesting environment to explore, but I didn’t think it was all too scary.
I’m off to find a different horror game to play now.
Did anyone play the Blair witch game? I didn’t find it too scary, but the woods in that game are phenomenal. I thought they did a great job with making it feel like you were actually in a forest.
Outer Wilds is probably one of my top 5
It’s probably my favorite game that I’ve played in the past decade
The 3DO.
I didn’t have many games for it, and emulation I think is kinda sketchy last I checked (I think the main emulator is all in Russian?) But it was full of FMV’s and all the fun that came with them.
Twisted: The game show is one of my favorite titles, but parts of it are definitely a product of its time (specifically the trivia)
Oh man, I want one of these, but the price makes it hard to justify. One day I’ll snag one up :)
Ohh I’ve wanted to play the zero escape series at some point. I didn’t realize it could be unsettling! Cool I will put it on the list, thanks!
Ahh, that’s such a shame when that happens. I’ll avoid it like the plague then!
Yeah, I thought it was pretty okay! I ended up getting about halfway through, I think? I got caught by the monster a couple of times when he randomly decided to pop up, and I somewhat shifted from “this is spooky” to “I’m just avoiding this road block”
It’s super tricky because I don’t know how to keep myself immersed in the experience for a lot of these titles.
I did enjoy the fact that they tried something new with the bunker. I thought it was probably the closest I got to being scared since the Dark Descent, so I think that says something for sure.
I think I’ve been exposed to too much horror, which might have dulled the experience somewhat. I really enjoy hearing about what/why people enjoyed horror games, so I don’t think your point was moot! I think horror is a very unique genre that pushes game design to its extremes in a lot of ways.
I really liked Outlast when it first released. Outlast 2 was pretty good as well. I think the tricky part is if you die or mess up too many times in horror games, the fear gets dulled.
I don’t recall layers of fear creeping me out much, but I haven’t tried the second yet. Definitely worth a shot
I find Amnesia titles don’t do it for me anymore. I think maybe I played too much and got too familiar with how the AI works. I’ve peeled back the curtain, so to speak and ruined them for myself, aha.
I really liked alien isolation when it first came out. I thought it was a very cool take on horror. The AI seemed super impressive
PT is great. I wish it was still easily accessible.
That whole situation is such a shame. There was so much potential there!
I’ve always heard about this game from time to time. It’s one I really want to try at some point. It sounds amazing!
Dead space is great. I recently played the remake and thought they did a pretty good job! The anti grav sections were cool
I’ve yet to play the first 3 silent hills. I feel like they’re the elephant in the room for me lol
I’ve never gotten a chance to play the thief games. They look right up my alley, though!
Hellblade had some of the best audio design I’ve heard in a game. I’m curious what games will take inspiration from it in the future
I felt like I did hear some people use it in a more “legitimate” or “good faith” way around the time it first was becoming a more commonly used word.
But then it seemed it quickly just became…this lol. Aside from those couple occurrences years ago, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use it IRL.
