That's exactly my issue with it though. The idea that casual Nazism (or indeed sexism or racism etc.) can be just a bit of fun. The people who use it tongue in cheek are helping to erode the stigma of Nazism. It's not just a games thing, I'm similarly uncomfortable with terms like grammar-Nazi too (I'm not perfect in this regard and I'm sure that a search through my internet history will reveal an inappropriate use of the term myself, we all make mistakes). I also fundamentally disagree that politics can (let alone should) be separated from entertainment. Any artistic work is going to be laced with the politics of its creators.

Ugh... I really fucking hate that term. As if game culture wasn't toxic enough without throwing in lowkey Nazism.

I like the bit around the 40's where Germany moves to occupy France...

Yeah, why not sell it on Gumtree, eBay or trade in at GameStop?

Assuming you mean bending and not teleporting, because that would be one hell of an undisclosed feature.

Don't think so. Or I woulda tagged it as such. It's lore stuff, not story stuff. Tag away if you want though...

Got my Horizon Zero Platinum. On to Gravity Rush 2 now I think.

Also Horizon Zero Dawn. Amazing fun. Want more!

That was such a goooood game. Just need to knock over the dummies for the platinum.

Yeah found it, noticed I can trade it in for a "mysterious box" from the "mystery box" seller in Meridian. No idea if I should though, or if I just hang on to it and see if it is used for some as yet to be released content...

I only just realised that one of the random items I picked up is a Death Stranding Easter egg...

My main issue with the flowers and the mugs is that the reward for collecting them all is garbage.

I actually enjoyed the trials. Except for the stealth one. Which was not too difficult, but also not too fun. On the subject of busy work, I'm onto flowers and sculptures now.

Past the cracked mountain.

Good point, I really need a Goose skin for a pouch upgrade and some other bits of animal to buy a Shadow Rattler. I'm just past that bit. Gonna do the hunting trials and score the lodge weapons, then finish collecting all the flowers and vantage points, then finish the story. I scored the ancient armour which is OP af. Gonna be sad when this game is done.

I just completed that section. FWIW it's not so much a "point of no return" as a point of "no deviation for quite some time". I don't *think* there are any missable side quests to worry about.

The processed blocks are indeed a lootable item Dean. I got the impression Apocashitstorm logs were just some rando grunt. Not watched them all yet though. I guess what I'm saying is that up to that mission the story of what happened is more suggested and drip fed, then in that mission you suddenly get this massive info dump. That said, they do lampshade it somewhat by Sylens saying that you found out more in a few minutes than he has in a long time of searching, and as Goh points out, it does make sense where the things are found.

That's where I am too. Quite liking the way the story unfolds generally, but the last two missions with Sylens have been a bit of an exposition fest.

Indeed, came across my first Behemoth yesterday. Was being escorted by a longleg. I overrode the longleg before taking on the behmoth, annoyingly the longleg stole the kill. Next time I'll take em both out. Noticed a fun thing with shell walkers the other day as well, if you shoot the bracket holding the container so it falls off, once the shell walker is done looking for you it will pick the container back up and hold it on its head using its lightning gun arm. This serves 2 purposes. 1 it is funny watching him walk off like he is holding a hat on his head and 2. it makes it way easier to attack them.
