O WTH DID I BUY DYING LIGHT???
I'm terrified of anything dead IRL aka New Orleans typed of creepy graveyards, the morgue, funerals, funeral homes, churches with coffins in 'em, the dark for 1 whole week (after I made the mistake of watching The Ring alone at 2am one morning). And yes Zombies.
TWD really freaked me out. Quit watching by mid season of 1st ep. Made fatal mistake trying to pickup watching that in season 3 when everything in the universe was decomposing and stinking to high heaven. Quit watching all Z based shows after that.
Fast forward a decade later where I ran into a childhood friend. After swapping good ole dayz stories back when we were kids over a few beers. Chatting over a couple of beers. From psychological chicken dares & scares we did as kids, to playing video games. After which, I ended up faithfully picking up a copy of DL2. On pure blind recommendation of said (once trusted) childhood friend. Who told me the DL Zombie experience was the fun we had back in the days before #CancelCulture. Trolling the goof billy train wreck that was Dashcon 2014 all over tw@t & f@kebook....
Keyword = disaster here. Yeah bro. I see what u did there....
Because quite clearly, his point was that as grown ups, we need to face our fears right? We need to learn how to conquer our fears. If childhood phobias were the enemy, then the enemy of the enemy was supposed to be my friend. Right? Because seriously, the quack Freudian wannabe shrink who made up that particular B$ mumbo jumbo had to have been as high as the stratosphere.
How can a dev be so Machiavellian in their psychological torture towards us poor gamers? Yeah. Starting to really feel the love for my friend. Not because I'm good at being the sucker who's compelled to terrorize themselves on the psychological &M end. But because I ACTUALLY PAID $$$ OUT OF POCKET for this. PLUS TAX. Then got sucked in and preceded to miss Steam's cutoff time limit for a refund. So now I'm compelled by a very illogical subconscious to finish this digitally rotting version of TWD dammit.
DL2 rating 10/10. for delivering one of the best childhood phobia games that totally traumatize your inner child .
Did my inappropriate gene do something to him off recently?

IDK. Karma can be a real b***h. Especially now when I remember said "friend's" inner child never quite got over their exotic coulrophobia fixation. Which has been literally decades after encountering Pennywise in IT come to think of it....
Wonder if Steam has any good psycho clown themed titles on sale lately?
