PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 1hControl Resonant is the type of game where if I was in a GOTY discussion, I would place a gun in the middle of the table and say “if you want to take this off the list you’re going to have to shoot me” 010
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 7hIf you view Casper Darling as a character who ended up doing good you lack object permanence. If you view Caspar Darling as unequivocally evil and cruel, you also lack object permanence. 100

PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21hLow key my favorite moment from Control Resonant, because as I looked at it I thought “now….I know this is a bug. But…..what if it isn’t” 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The jigsaw puzzle note in control resonant is the most diabolical thing you just know the writers were laughing like madmen cooking that one 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It says a lot about Control Resonant that the karaoke side quest isn’t even in the running for the best side quest 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’m not one to be like “mods fix games” very often but real talk if control resonant added that left on the d-pad would cycle your main weapon it would be perfect 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Am I the toxic one for the belief that maybe if a game doesn’t grab you right away or isn’t amazing right away doesn’t mean it’s bad, and maybe having it “get good” in time is perfectly valid as an arc in itself? 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I am very happy that the general consensus is that Dylan faden is a great main character and has a terrific arc through the game, and people are not going along with the “he’s boring/where Jesse” line. Jesse’s presence throughout the game is palpable. 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Casper Darling is such an incredible character, just teetering on the razor thin line of excitement, curiosity and disaster where nothing that stands between him and calamity is a step too far. I think Dylan hates him but Dylan has also seen what Darling was racing against so it gets complicated 001
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026hell of a run up to the finale though i hurt it by getting there so late last night i had to stop short. if NG+ has more story i will be doing it ASAP. i have a few qualms with specifics in the game but i still rank this in best of the year with a bullet. 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026control resonant so good i actually forgot to log into my gachas for one day that's real shit (and i needed those login bonuses rip) 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026“Control Resonant is a disaster” this game has been doing shit every hour at this point has my jaw just on the floor and honestly I think people just didn’t play Control with the ways they are nitpicking Resonant for not being Control 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Remedy games go through this silly cycle where the game comes out and a ton of people say “I think it’s bad actually” and then in 6 months to a year with all the hindsight and knowing it has those big moments and the gameplay comes together, go “I gave it a second shot and it’s actually great” 110
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026@remedygames.com if people are complaining about NPC’s not letting them sit and chat about every topic in one go, they are wrong and you don’t need to change it 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I have become increasingly agitated with people who prefer LORE over a story. A story is presented to you in a specific fashion and with intention and when you demand that be broken up to present you with all the facts to make your own story first, you have lost the entire plot 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026“Remedy FIX it where I can’t sit and talk to the NPC’s for every dialogue option” no that is a deliberate choice to kick you out after one exchange to make you go play the game and have reasons to come back later to maybe see how the world state has changed 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I have not seen one person mention this Bloodborne reference/easter egg in Control Resonant 010
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026for as many years as my upstairs neighbors have lived above me, they have had a kid. but somehow this kid regresses in age every once in a while; i never see the kid but he should be like....3rd or 4th grade by now. instead at regular intervals i hear a baby or small child crying instead 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I now understand how boomers feel when we look at their old media and say it sucks; people be wondering “I don’t get what made the blues brothers funny” and it’s like, it was never a “funny haha” gag it was just something a lil silly, a lot of fun and completely earnest 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026i'm trying to keep control resonant unpatched because i want the original difficulty but having fiber internet means i have to scramble as soon as my ps5 starts to try and update it lmao 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026"the combat is repetitive and boring" i run in, drop two mold buddies that tag a bunch of enemies, set one on fire, then force push it into the rest of them which sets off a massive chain of explosions as i whip them into oblivion 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026goddamn whoever said Control Resonant has bad boss fights is dumb as hell, The Dancer was so fuckin cool except I was wildly overpowered for it 010
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026just got to the park in control resonant and holy fuck this really is just a horror game where you are also one of the monsters 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026anyone calling themselves a remedy superfan who did not play the lake house is getting their cards revoked 111
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 24/09/2026control resonant already hit me with an ashtray maze moment and i'm only like 15 hours in 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 24/09/2026i want marathon to succeed but i am going to still be bummed that the version and vision from season 1 has ended and gone away. it was incredible. 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I haven’t seen any traction for the lesbian bar story on bluesky and I wonder if it’s because everyone here doesn’t understand it’s actually about them 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’m fully convinced that Kojima signing with Xbox for these games will end in the closure of KojiPro becsuse Microsoft is gonna pull all their cash out in a few years 130
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026@blessingjr.com you asked what halo infinite got wrong and I point to 2 things: unprepared for pos to launch support. Multiplayer was a solid hit with no follow through and players fell off & never came back even when it all improved vastly. 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I read one tweet about the western mass lesbian bar and now my entire twitter feed is about it the algorithm really is working overtime to make it a hot button topic 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I would not be good on a games media podcast because I would just say “Xbox has no vision, no strategy, no plan IS the plan of AI people, they’re torching Xbox to get rid of it because they don’t want it. Story over.” 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I am predicting about 95% of people who buy Control Resonant are gonna turn on all the assists during the first boss fight and never take them off lmao 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 22/09/2026for everyone playing Control Resonant this week, I'll let you in on the fun bit of Alan Wake 2: The Lake House DLC you all missed because none of you played it. getting this and having to just wait it out has been torture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTYO...youtube.comAlan Wake 2: The Lake House: meeting Dylan FadenYouTube video by JulioTulho 000
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 22/09/2026They oversold this show by about 300 tickets. FYS were still a hometown band. I snuck in to avoid the cops at the front door. I was running across bartops and jumping off every railing. Crawl to the barricade, flash a smile at security, then turn and jump off back the way I came. 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026while player sentiment and volume had a factor in the destiny 2 decision, i think it's important for everyone to not pat themselves on the back exclusively and realize what all came into play: 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I always remember the reason I dislike it when Bungie news pops off is because people quite literally talk about destiny 2 like it’s an evil mastermind that tied their fiancé to the train tracks 241
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026@grubb.wtf something about the D2 news that I doubt will get reported on but I know is in your lane: when it was announced D2 was going to end, a private server named Project Sunrise spun up, with the purpose of restoring sunset content. 100
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Official Bungie leads retweeting so this is the official story but I just know that Project Sunrise probably had an impact in this decision once they saw the speed people not only found all the lost content but had it running with combatant AI and even adding their OWN content 020
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026@del.art saw your tweet about the ff7 news and you put very wel into words what I been feeing about seeing tons of games all over the place just adding “skip everything” features 110
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Revisiting the New Found Glory discog and man it is crazy how the run of Self Titled, to Sticks and Stones, to Catalyst was just an exponentially insane run of better and better songs 110
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I literally cannot fathom how we lost Bo, Andy Williams and Chad and 2026 isn’t done fuck you man 011
PeteXN @petexn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Yet another person, who had his flaws but was instrumental in my youth pssed. RIP Chad Gilbert. New Found Glory was always such an important fixture and his time in Shai Hulud built what is modern metalcore. The years are coming for us all now. 120
