Huh I'm not sure I'm okay with the downvotes you're getting. Downvote shit posts/comments people, not stuff you disagree with.

That said, I'm curious why you thought the story was trash? I liked it a lot actually; the kindness that Madeline eventually offers herself is extremely important in her healing. The game doesn't pretend to be "oh mental health crisis averted" after 7 chapters either. The difficulty of the gameplay pairs really well with the rise (and massive drop) that comes with processing one's emotions.

Granted it's a bit on the nose (I'll give you that) but the mark of a good story is hardly complexity.

Nine sols! It's only on Steam at the moment though, if you're on console.

If you're a fan of sekiro's combat mechanic, this game is a must play for sure. Some people compare it to hollow knight, but I'm not sure I see the resemblance (coming from someone who cleared P5).

My only complaint with this game is that it's too short (~15 hours if you're moderately skilled).

EDIT: alternatively, you might wanna try Celeste. It's a challenging platformer that offers a judgement-free assist mode if you're struggling. I think it's the best handling of "easy mode" I've seen in any video game.

Both games are incredibly fair, and not once did I think "this is bullshit". Difficult enough to test your skills but not rage inducing for sure. Loading screens are also really fast (compared to the extremely frustrating fromsoftware loading screens), so honestly dying isn't any issue.

Yea what kinda response is this? Did the OP reply to the wrong thread?

Good lord this gave me a fucking stroke

Holy shit that's insanely cool actually. But yea academia does get kinda ridiculous sometimes, I'm glad you found your passion for music instead!

Thanks for the response! Honestly wasn't expecting any. I understand what you're saying as a pure student would, but could you explain what you mean by "a space is a just an n-dimensional graph"?

Would the vertices map to some coordinate in space? Or am I completely misunderstanding.

The other replies are much more reactive, which I totally get given the discourse. I'd recommend a book called "Right Wing Women" by Dworkin to further explore this idea.

These MAGA women are likely trapped in their own belief, because their sense of self comes from the man that constantly dehumanizes them. If you escape, you are left with nothing (since that's what you have been indoctrinated to believe in). The only "out" is to be a good trad girl, and hope that the men praise you -- this is the only possible source of self-worth.

Not saying that this excuses their behaviour, but I hope this provides an additional layer of complexity rather than "MAGA women bad".

Are you a post-doc now? If so, congrats! If you dont mind me asking, what exactly was your research about (not a physics/mathy person so ELI5 would be appreciated)

I say openly that I'm bad at math because I cannot, even with intense effort, intuit concepts that are laid out as pure mathematical expressions. Why do graphs have eigenvectors? What does that even look like?!

Ah, unfortunately I don't have an Xbox. Been craving Sekiro after playing Nine Sols on PC.

But good to know that 30 bucks seems to be the lower bound!

Could you do me a favour and purchase sekiro GOTY edition?

I will pay even better money for a dragonborn's tail to sit comfortably within the confines of my cloak
