one of the best songs ever written, in my book. loved it the moment I heard it, back in high school, early 2000s, have been singing the outro verses like a mind virus ever since.

Crazy marketing and release strategy for this one, making it just vague enough to inspire drama between those-who-believe and those-who-didn't; from what I can tell, it has generated A LOT of interest, and the Steam numbers are super high right now. We might see more of these slow-leak-surprise-drop releases going forward, based on the success of this.

fake. hoax. and if not: stupid. UE brown-gray filter is the same color and consistency as the fecal matter of a dying elderly person, all fluffy and gray and sandy-like, like shitting saw dust, you know? if this is real, it's embarrassing. they missed the whole aesthetic idea of the original game (Tolkien-esque, very colorful, but dark disturbing somewhat eldritch underbelly), which begs the question: what else did they miss?

When criticism of the act gets enough likes on Lemmy and/or Reddit—that's when I know what to think.

The essay is mostly about the nature of "love," but also covers my thoughts on the book itself (hint: I liked it, for the most part). Figured this was a good place to post it, since the book was runner-up for best literary fiction on this subreddit. No pay wall or anything.
