The cut scenes give more insight into the developer's attitudes to women and childbirth-related things than anything to do with what hell might be like, in my opinion.

The Witcher 1. It's fucking great.

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Alex St.John yet.

Oh, and I'm not sure what in the actual fuck this is I've just found since I've never played Far Cry Primal while not under the influence of one thing or another:

Literally no memory of this.

These are straight from random folders hidden deep within my Steam directory so I don't know how they'll turn out but here goes

It sucks mainly because it's no fun trolling communities like that because they're naturally many times worse than I could even try to emulate.

The short answer is no, "following your dreams" and "never giving up" will not work for the vast majority of people. The reason why it's such a prevalent message, though, is because the only people with the ability to speak to an audience of thousands or millions are the lucky select few for whom the stars aligned and everything worked out. So of course that's going to be their rhetoric because it worked for them.

That's not to take away any of their hard work - of course they worked hard to get where they were, but they were also lucky. Many orders of magnitude more people worked just as hard and didn't make it, but they don't have platforms from which to speak their cautionary tales to a wide audience, so that message is far less prevalent.

Yeah like that strictly timed water bit in OriForest that soured so many people on the game. Were the playtesters all on coke when they went through that bit?
