How about interpreting the question as calibrating of my personal moral compass and if I should reflect on that?

I want to check with you people what do you think about situation in NFL between Arizona Cardinals players dropping the ball before the finish line and following altercation with head coach Jonathan Gannon.
I was browsing Reddit and noticing huge influx of comments condemning Gannon to the tune on "he should've never put a hand on him" (even though it was a punch to shoulder pads). And I don't really seem to able to arrive to the same conclusion. It feels to me the product of office environment where even if you massively fuck up in your workplace to the tune of inflicting damages to the project the only thing that would happen to you is being fired. I worked in landscaping for a few months and the temperament of the foreman was entirely different and I would say some physical reminder is needed if you fuck up the entire day of work.
What is the current year answer to this type of situation?
Once a week or so I come by /r/foxholegame subreddit to harvest the crying and the bitching.

It just feels like an excuse for FromSoftware to develop crazy anime-jumping-all-across-the-arena bosses with crazy moves. "Oh no, the player has so many bullshit combinations now, we need to create more bullshit bosses to combat this." And that way we have dlc with bosses dancing all over the floor, goddamn sunflower. The worst part of course is that even with the stakes of Marika you will spend 2 minutes buffing yourself and after a certain point I started to despise this cycle.

Anyone knows good games with top-down action gameplay like Last Stand Aftermath, Ruiner or The Ascent?

My first introduction to Soulslike games was Bloodborne. And it was a very short introduction due to me selecting the cane starting weapon and trying to make sense of it for several hours. Cane is an ASS of a starting weapon for someone not familiar with the gameplay. I was very pissed that day. Especially when I complained to a friend and he basically said "Yeah, everyone knows the saw is way better starting weapon, DUH".
The have licenses for most major sports titles? FIFA, Madden, NHL, CFB, F1. (Think of that microtransaction money flow)
That is also without mentioning the Star Wars license.
There are several passives that guaranties shields and a few abilities. Some characters can be specced with as much DEF as possible and shrug most damage, looking at you, Maelle. I don't think you can outheal any fight, but if you select enemies at appropriate level (and not try to kill Sprong at level 33) you can just play more or less like normal JRPG after some point in act1.

Hmm, if this would be the thread of "mediocre games that you enjoy" I could list a bunch, heck, here's recent one: Evil West it's a AA title with very shallow story but quite fun gameplay when you get some upgrades and start playing it like a god hand clone.
But getting to the topic, I simply refuse to play through deadly premonition to the end, it's torture for nothing. The gameplay is super bad, I tried 3 times and when the fighting starts I just want to murder whoever worked on the animations. It was no in-game joke, I truly believe it was created on a floor from scraps with a team consisting of interns. You can't tell me it was done otherwise.
For any other bad games from the past I highly recommend Ross Game dungeon series, there is a lot of hidden gems for your liking, here's his recent one - Sabotain

I simply can't wrap my head around the Hally character, mostly her origins. She is a daughter of a Lumon CEO and is portrayed in season 2 as very ruthless and calculating individual all in on their creepy cult business and secrets, so why is she there? Just to provide a PR face to their Severance project? Can't she fake it? And nobody(including herself) gives a shit about the suicide attempt? Like we are hiding that this project almost killed the daughter of CEO and everyone is cool with it.

Yes indeed, whoever can look at this glorious scene and conclude that this is the greatest achievement humanity can offer? It's weeb cringe for weebs, let them hang in their zoo areas, but don't touch.

Well, looking at this early trailer you can see that almost none of what is presented to you ended up in the final product. I believe there were also a few early in-game footages with events that apparently also got cut down, so rewrites happened during production. On one hand you can say "eeh, it's created for commercial purpose no big deal" but on the other side it is still funny that Cyberpunk got crucified for "lying in the promotion material" according to very online gamers.
Specifically for Outer Wilds there are a multiple examples in the reddit thread
For ex:
When I watched his Outer Wilds playthrough I was disappointed because he solved some of the puzzles in that game insanely quickly. I assumed he was really good at solving puzzles. One thing that was suss was the he figured out the Quantum moon puzzle with none of the prerequisite quantum knowledge that the game teaches you. And another thing stuck out to me, it was on Giants Deep in the Tower of Quantum Trials. One puzzles took him a loong time to figure out which stood out as strange considering how fast he solved other puzzles.
I'm not saying he faked it or not, but it stood out to me as weird.
Or
he obviously looked stuff up on his phone.

4:03:10 - begins puzzle and doesn't make any progress.
4:12:30 - grabs his phone and looks at it for awhile.
4:14:30 - announces "I'm going back there, I wanna solve that." (lol)

Or, for example there are few clips of him boldly proclaiming his proficiency and just making himself look like a massive hypocrite

I love that the drama just keeps evolving when dedicated internet autists keep digging new stuff - it seems now that he faked the outer wilds and animal farm blind playthough (looked up the puzzle solutions beforehand)

You mean the attempt to use every pejorative in the dictionary over the ~40ish articles to show how much he hates it? I loved ME2 and it is most replayed game from ME series for me. Gameplay was vastly improved compared to ME1.

I have a stash of cheap spicy ramen noodles in my house that I get a craving for once a few months. I personally blame this on my experiences in university where after training in the evening the hot cup of noodles just kept me going and now this flavor is stamped on my soul forever.
6 years ago Riot Games released KDA kpop song. I liked it way more than Golden.
