Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice. Played it with headphones as many suggested. I had recently lost my uncle, who by the time he died, was in a pretty bad state mentally. Seeing and hearing things that weren't there. Everyone out to get him. Calling to say the cops were trying to break into his home. No one was there.

He was a good guy and incredibly funny. Introduced me to the greatness of Monty Python at a young age. He was getting some better help near the end, finally. In part because he finally was accepting help.

He was a Vietnam vet, and from what everyone told me came back changed like so many did. This, in part, led to drug use that spiraled him down. Much better handled than some as he always held a job and such.

But the game made me think of what he might have been experiencing, and it was overwhelming for me. I think I stopped a third of the way through. It is very well done, but I just couldn't deal with it.

Shitty pic, sorry. I'm in the middle of a move and pulled it out of a box. This one ended up displayed at Disneyland and won a people's choice award by park visitors. He was pretty proud of that.

I'm not a woodworker, but I love this community. This one brought back great memories of sitting and watching my grandfather carve similar pieces. Not mirrors, but he would make clocks or just wall pieces. I have several of his very early ones and then one of his last before he passed. Seeing the progression always makes me smile.

Thanks for sharing and reminding me of some good life moments.

Seems like the sort of injury you might see playing OOTP.

I think it absolutely is. I played it a bit at launch and didn't find it near as bad as others but still set it aside. Started it fresh again with the expansion, and I had such a blast with it. You own it, so I see no reason not to a least give it a try.

Now I can't unsee the knees. Thanks.

I did, and it is.

Well, let's just say them fighting hard to say he doesn't confirm all of our suspicions.

Gotta love the Streisand effect on display. Wouldn't have known he smells if they hadn't "fired back."

He himself admitted he was an abuser of people in his life. Both male and female. Sure, people see that as him atoning for those past abuses. But it is clear he wasn't this nice person people think of when they think of his anti-war and peace stance in life.
