…sob…

What the fuck?
Wait… is pinnochio transmasc if he transitioned into being a real boy? If so he (especially) shouldn’t be assuming the gender of his child…
No and also the joke wouldn’t land if it was written that way
am I too tired or too stupid for this one? (or both)
I read this three times and I do not understand it.
Nah this is really awkwardly executed. Im guessing he thought she’d die from delivering a half-puppet baby? Idk this is a weird one
I thought it was because his dick just kept growing and growing.
Why can’t I imagine that without hearing a slide whistle
Yeah I mean I thought he was worried she’d deliver a block of wood, but idk I thought it was nice.
Why would that kill her
splinters. splinters everywhere.
I mean, I think I got it as intended the first time. That does sound like a serious health hazard.
That’s how I read it.
A preview of Lies of P 2.
Never played Lies of P. Does that mean the actual title is Lies of Pinocchio? Or just a joke?
Lies of P is the full title, but the P does stand for Pinocchio, who you play as. It’s set in a city with lots of puppets, basically robots, that do the labor. I believe Pinocchio is a special puppet because he can lie and disobey humans. He/you use that to go on a Bloodbornesque tour of the city, fighting everything along the way. Haven’t played it myself, just heard good things and saw part of it mentioned in a video essay.
Oh snap! I’ll check it out! I need a new game to play
It’s not bad but it’s not as good as its inspirations- sekiro is much more satisfying.
Honestly I’m just looking for a buzz after Elden Ring destroyed my future expectations for RPG games…
It’s a linear game, but I enjoyed it a lot. Not sure if the parrying is more forgiving or if the timing for parrying is just more direct, but I found it a lot easier to get into the rythmn compared to sekiro.
Now thats a game to be hyped for, did they announce it?
It hasn’t received an official announcement, but sources say it’s well into development and should be shown off soon.
If you want something to be excited about, here’s a trademark filed about a month ago by the game’s publisher Neowiz:

Nice, thanks, finally some good news
Is this loss?
Nah this is gain
The hobbit is lord of the rings and gain is loss
