I like Amnesia's version where it's all diary pages Daniel wrote, and you're reading them to get background since you have the titular amnesia. It also justifies the letters being cut off because it's not like he was attacked, he just lost his memories and couldn't write any more

The show is a lot worse than it used to be. Now they do "reviews" of new movies by shitting on the most pedantic things they can think of and it's kind of embarrassing. The reviews now are less about telling jokes related to a movie and more about Doug pushing his own agenda with some mention of the movie here and there.

I was following the manga for a while but I stopped when I caught up and haven't had the inclination to go back until probably just now.
So I don't know.
But I remember being fairly engrossed in the personal character arcs of several of the characters less than the overall plot, especially the lesbians with questionable loyalties.
>>334976209
I fucking hated this in MGR
There was zero connectivity between the first two levels. You were given no explanation for why you were in Mexico or wherever the fuck, and it was only explained if you went into the codec and listened to boring characters spout boring dialogue in the most boring fucking format imaginable.
>>334973176
The worst culprit for me would be Bioshock Infinite, everybody just records whatever brain fart they have about everything on giant records.
>Audio log makes the character revert to walking speed as they listen.

>>334973176
The one nice thing about them is you can listen to them while you're walking around and nothings going on in game, but somehow every game seems to fuck this up by putting them around parts with dialogue and action. Bioshock infinite was so bad with this I stopped listening to the logs altogether, not that they were any good up to that point (okay ken we get it you watched the cosmos).

For one thing people used to, and that fact makes it perfectly reasonable for people to do so in a game where the setting may be different than our world.
Secondly plenty of professionals still keep audio recordings of their jobs and meetings, often to be transcribed by hand or by computer for filing.

I remember reading a story in an apocalypse anthology. It was a diary but as the time progresses, the writer is misspelling words and the writing becomes simpler and simpler. I think in it, some disease or just genetics was making mankind autistic/retarded.
I remember that was decently written.
It brings back the concept that us humans can lose our sentience and revert back to animal instincts in the future as a possibility.

It's too fucking scary to think about that. Autism rates climbing higher and shit. People with bad genes are surviving and passing on their genes to offspring. I think we've reached the point where our medicine and technology will have to coincide with disabilities, defects, impairments, etc, and we'll start evolving with that. We're gonna be autistic Cronenberg monsters in the future, trapped in meat bags that we have to hook up to computers to communicate and function at all.
We are theayy lmaos.

I love Bloodlines to death, but when you read the diary in the haunted house and it ends with "he's using his axe to get through the door, someone please help me" I wondered what the fuck they were thinking writing that, same with the guy in the sewers they talk about on the news, you can find his diary aswell. I picture the guy sitting writing down these things as the monster comes at him and I just laugh because it's so fucking stupid.

Autism is only bad for socialization. Autism doesn't make you retarded.

It legitimately does, it's a learning disability.

Autism is irrelevant since autists won't breed.
>text logs where the author is slowly losing their sanity and the writing becomes nonsensical
>>334999319
Autism isn't genetic. Later breeding cycles will ensure that a rising amount of the population will be autistic regardless.
>>334999447
That's because autism is the next step for a species on its way to becoming a God
>>334999773
Or just because of the medical complications that attempting to sire or bear children at a later age brings.
Those who breed young in this day and age are fucking hillbillies.
What a future.

I can give Dead Space 3 a pass on this because the audio log itself was breddy good.

At least that an audio diary and he probably knows hes going to die and just describing what he says, if that was all written down it would be laughable.
