What is this, the Oldest House?

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 78 points 11 months ago

YES A CONTROL REFERENCE IN THE WILD HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Are you more excited for the show or the game sequel?

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Well, this is the first time I'm hearing about a Control show. That being said... I have little hope for it. I feel like somethings should just remain games. Not everything needs to be translated to another form of media and I don't see Control being able to pull off the same level of awe and wonder in a show that it does in a game.

Now the sequel...

hnng.

The track record is getting good, though. Fallout and Last of Us nailed it. Cyberpunk and Arcane were pretty awesome, too. Maybe they've figured out the formula

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Last of Us, Cyberpunk and Arcane are nowhere on my radar of shows that I plan on ever watching so I can't speak to those. Don't have anything against it. Just doesn't spark any interest. Fallout I've been meaning to watch for a while but just keep autistically shrinking back into Star Trek lmao

At the very least watch Cyberpunk. It’s magnificent. But I think it helps that the setting and themes have never just been gaming-centric and the show isn’t actually based on the most recent game.

Well fill Stamets in, watch Cyberpunk if you like a slight mystery, betrayal, and doomed love. Thats at the core of all Cyberpunk genre stories. But Edgerunners is better if you already liked Neuromancer and media like that. Its not for everyone. I would even say the best part about cyberpunk genres is destroyed in the '77 setting.

You should watch Arcane for a lot of reason, but just the visual and art is enough in itself.

It always reminded me of the wierder bits of twin peaks or something anyway.

I sill never got past that crazy professor lady running around in some big cave thing firing grenades everywhere , so i dont need a sequel until i get more skills.

Thanks of reminding me of the awesome premise of the Oldest House.

"Better not bring any unnecessary cultural artifacts into the reality shifting place, so that whatever is in here doesn't have anything to latch onto."

Cut to me bringing in a copy of budokai 3 so the oldest house makes goku real.
