Greetings everyone, As long-term fans of the works of H.P. Lovecraft, the genre of cosmic horror and the many tropes they created in pop-culture and gaming especially, it is our absolute pleasure to present the second instalment of the Lovecraftian Days event on Steam. It is our hope to prove that t...
Soo, anyone got any game recommendations? Lemmy already has so few comments and social interaction (the only reason I visit sites like these) so why dilute it even further by focusing on pointless stuff? I swear every time I see a good post and am excited to see what people have to say about it it's 90 percent pointless arguing in the comments.
Although I suppose I just contributed to it as well, so carry on I guess.
I can not agree more on Inscryption it is a phenomenal game. Additionally, I have thoroughly enjoyed everything that Daniel Mullins games have released thus far. They all have that same dark tone that really resonates with me, despite all being wildly different kinds of game.
I always find folks that can’t separate the art from the artist to be missing out. every human is pretty shitty in some way but that doesn’t detract from the great art they create.
Having read some of his works, it sometimes is scarring to read how he pictures arabic or black peope.
He definitely let his personal racism seep into his stories.
So I think the argument can be made, that one shouldn't just consume his works without critically reflecting on the author.
There is one story set in Egypt that I remember, where the open racism kept on breaking my immersion repeatedly.
But I agree that calling Valve tone deaf for highlighting lovecraftian games misses the spot.
Lovecraftian art is inspired by the tone and the mystery of Lovecrafts works and not of his racism.

But that aside I didn't downvote you for your first sentence.
I personally wouldn't even have downvoted you for your second sentence, even though I strongly disagree with it.
I downvoted you for your edit, which ironically is totally tone deaf.
Noone downvoted the fact, that you called the dude some stuff. You got downvoted for attacking Valve over an innocent sale of supernatural mystery games.
I wish all the things I enjoy didn't come from flawed people. But, sadly humans are trash and to idolize a person ignoring that fact leads to eventual disappointment.
