Mod wanted! - sh.itjust.works

With only a modicum of regret, I am stepping away from Lemmy. Nothing to do with this community or Lemmy itself. Love y’all. Rather, since leaving reddit I’ve observed a huge improvement in my mental health and my feelings of personal effectiveness. I’m taking this as a sign to exit social media for now, as an exercise in overall self-care. So I’m releasing this community to, well, whoever would like to step up! This will likely be my last post here, but I’ll keep an eye on my inbox. If there are any takers, just hmu.

FPS titles with great environmental world-building? e.g. Alien: Isolation, Metro, DOOM '16, even Portal 2 counts -- games that feel like real, lived-in places and not just a series of arenas. - sh.itjust.works

For example, I didn’t fall in love with Titanfall 2’s environmental art design—it felt a bit generic to me, like it was meant to be the backdrop for a shooter, as opposed to the Sevastopol in A:I or the station in SOMA that felt like existing locations. Even Borderlands 2 has great world-building: the corporate history that can be inferred from the level design, the weapons & the NPCs makes it one of the richer games I’ve played. Would love to hear others’ thoughts on your favorite FPS environments!

made this for a comment, thought the foremast jacks might like it - sh.itjust.works

Hellbender -- how am I just hearing about this movie? - sh.itjust.works

Mom & daughter suspense/drama about a teen who’s inherited her mother’s powers. It’s a little like the Norwegian movie Thelma, set in rural Appalachia instead. Speaking of which, you should also definitely watch Thelma.
