No parent should go through what they have gone through. And they want to express that through a game. It is an incredible idea, especially because of interactivity of the medium. I always believe that art can help hold a mirror to the society and this game proves that.

Oof… Man, to live in the US. I don’t envy you guys, though things aren’t really going the right direction here in the Netherlands, either.

Your perceptions about the experience of the average American are a long way from accurate. You might want to take a hard look at the media you’re consuming.
EDIT: I have now discovered that the fastest way to kick the Lemmy hornet’s nest is to say you aren’t living in constant terror of being mowed down at random. How do you people function out in public? Do you even go out in public? This place is a fucking hole.

Earlier this month, I had a parent-teacher meeting with lots of parents and she had to explain to one parent to please stop allowing her 2nd grader to come with weapons. The parent kept putting a butterfly knife in the kid’s bookbag and she explained that they are doing everything they can to ensure safety, but now when a 2nd grader has a knife.

People are fucking nuts. You have to think that at some point the thought would occur to them that they shouldn’t be slipping a knife into little Timmy’s backpack.
Closing the asylums was a mistake.

What, about gun violence? Are you saying the shootings are under reported?
- Anyolduser ( @Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com ) 1•12 hours ago
Are you nuts? How could you possibly conclude that that’s what I’m saying?

Do you even read what you write before you send it? I came away with the same conclusion as he did.
Also, what is this nonsense about ops perceptions being incorrect? How could you. Possibly know?

I can’t wait to see speed runners cheese it and completely miss its point :/

No one has a record on speedrun.com time for me to get that world record!

TBF, generally speedrunners start speedrunning games because they love it to death (ie. have played it through several times already) and want to start challenging themselves in new ways.
…or the videogame is known to make views on youtube.
Anyway, this don’t undermine the intention of the developer.
- Sas [she/her] ( @Sas@beehaw.org ) 1•5 hours ago
A videogame making views on YouTube is only incentive for first playthroughs as views on YouTube are usually for people’s reactions to stuff. Speedrunning really usually is a passion project.

Yeah, I get that, but on the more aggressively short cut games, you could argue its not the same game anymore if all the story is now skipped. Still entertaining to watch, and I do occasionally, but it can get a bit silly.
I’m still looking forward to the first:
“Hi guys, today I’m going to show you how the locker skip works, you just run at this locker while tapping crouch, annddddd we are clipped through the ground, and can now run to the exit. Easy game”
:D

any% with glitches is pretty much always a wild ride to watch.
on that note; man I need to get back on the IGN’s playlist of “devs react to speedruns”, most devs are such good sport when it comes to breaking their game :D
