I got the same thing

I mean I don’t watch “normal” TV either but I can see the potential appeal.

Most TV is just trash and a waste of time anyway so for some I guess the feeling of connection is more important than the particular content.

Take Saturday night telly for example. There’s a really long street near me full of kinda posh-looking terrace houses and the living rooms are really easy to see into, especially at dusk before the curtains get closed.

Sometimes I walk down the road on a Saturday night and you see such a diverse range of people from families to young couples to old people sat with a blanket on their own all watching the same program which there’s something quite nice about I think. Likewise with things like Strictly, Bake-off etc people seem to enjoy watching the episodes at the same time so they can discuss with their friends/on social media.

I don’t watch sports either but I’m in a WhatsApp group with some friends and every now and again a message will just randomly appear saying something like “shit effort” and I know there must be a football game on. It’s kinda nice that they can just assume the others are watching.

Basically I think when you’re watching for entertainment, being able to curate your experience more is really great, but there’s a social dimension to scheduled telly that I think some might still appreciate.

Account just over 10 years, lurker for even longer. Don’t really use it anymore except when following links etc

I had to stop playing it because of the faux “British” accent. It goes right through me. Feels like such a stupid thing to be put off by but it’s just so jarringly unnatural, it’s horribly off-putting.

The way he says “mate”… omg

I remember looking up who did the voice for Zagreus or whatever his name is, and the dude is clearly one of the big dicks at Supergiant. Think he played some major part in the sound design for Bastion or something. Can’t remember.

Anyway, I get the feeling he is senior enough when it comes to sound stuff that he was basically able to decide he would be the voice of the MC and then proceeded to go full Dick Van Dyke without people feeling able to criticize it.

Don’t know if it’s because I’m from the UK that I find it so uncanny and awful, or if it’s just me in particular but it’s probably the most random thing that’s ever completely ruined a (otherwise great) game for me
