You're not literally Nathan Drake anon. I know it's shocking but it's true.
Still significantly less mental illness than someone who has a panic attack from seeing a digital spider.
>heh it's not real
None of the game is real, moron. Why are you playing it? Don't tell me you're having an emotional response to pixels on a screens. That's crazy talk, seek help
Suspension of disbelief is mental illness now.

If I ever make the game I've been wanting to make it will have an 'Arachnophobia Mode' in the settings menu, the menu will describe the mode as 'ideal for those who have a fear of spiders', activating this mode will turn ALL npcs (friendly and hostile) into giant spiders.
After being activated, the mode can not be disabled unless you delete all your saves, reinstall the game and also locate and delete the secret, hidden file created when you turn the mode on that is not deleted when you uninstall the game.
also have a file integrity check and disallow injecting dlls into the executable to stop mods from working
fricking put denuvo in it so nobody can tamper with the executable either
I hear people say this all the time and they never do it. Because people like that never make anything. The
>I want to ruin things for people I don't know
mindset isn't the one productive people have
The Undertale guy kinda did something similar with the genocide run but he started out wanting to make a people would enjoy first.
And even the punishment for doing the run is almost a reward, since players enjoy the game partly because all major actions have consequences.
I killed basically everyone and nothing made me feel bad at all.
When you do a genocide run you're killing and grinding so much that random enemies no longer show up
If you complete the run and start a new True Pacifist run, you get a ruined ending
I once said if I ever make a game I'm gonna include some insults directed at game journalists and I did. Frick game journalists
>I want to ruin the game for people I don't know isn't a mindset productive people have
>Pic related + Ayane calling you a little b***h the entire way through
Cry about it.
The idea of "the creative" is venerated as if fricking egregore, a chaste virginal maiden, and of course [agrees with me on everything], and it just isn't that arcane and pure as all the gays would want you to think.
>Cry about it.
I don't care about your or your nonexistent game. You however care about me so much that you're planning to change your nonexistent game that I will never play just to spite me. Of course that's a purely fantasy scenario because you won't actually make anything, people like you never do
I'm not even gonna read all that.
I've been actively working together with friends since high-school to make games, and make my own which originally started out as a campaign based on Pathfinder and Vampire, and I'm a normal person just like anyone else.
I don't take shit from some moron on a basket weaving forum.

not that anon but holy shit you’re mad, just let it go and go back to making your game that plenty of people will eventually play! (lmao)
The difference between you and me is that people will play the games I have worked on, in fact they already have.
Even if it was only a handful players, you'll still die having made nothing in comparison
Cope and seethe.
Yeah bro you're a genius game designer who has a very original idea just like these other guys
You should get together seeing how original and unique you all are. It'll be like the Beetles but for games
get out of my board pls, i have a phobia of you
Great, you've triggered the mode, now all posters will turn into him
Oh no, that's just to spite (You).
Why are arachnophobes in particular such colossal pussies?
They just don’t understand
>heh I don't have a phobia
That's just random luck what are you being smug about. I'm not afraid of heights, that's not a reason to be smug, I just happened to be born that way. If you were in fact afraid of spiders but could over come it, that's a reason to be smug
>T. Pussy arachnephobe
Are you okay?
Did my minor spelling mistake shake you so much
t. man with so little achievements he's proud of not being born with this particular phobia
Im afraid of heights but i still managed to play through totk
Because the game has no depth perception. What you're afraid of is triggered mainly by depth perception. What I'm afraid of is triggered by seeing the spooky legs and the spooky movement. I don't need to perceive depth to be spooked but you do
Idk every time I had to jump from the sky to the ground made my hands sweaty and my butthole was clenching hard (not meming this is a common fear response for me) especially during the wind temple. If anything the fear it gave me made the rest of the game feel underwhelming
arachnaphobia modes are fine, because devs don't put the effort into designing enemies that they should. first of all, stop overusing the same fricking types of which giant spiders are randomly one of. secondly, if you do design spiders it is more than possible to easily make them still entirely acceptable and not frick with most people, plenty of games have done it, it all comes down to the specifics of the design, the movement, the textures, the sounds. there was no opportunity to do this 25 years ago, you were incredibly limited in how you could make things move or the textures you used to begin with, but due to that they were less of a problem because you weren't trying to emulate hyper realistic things to begin with.
also spiders do not screech, its so fricking tiresome that every piece of shit lazy dev adds this. they make no sound. their movement doesn't make 500 footstep sounds a second, they're not a fricking horse with muscled appendages, they're not stomping down their weight on one spot.
you can make spider enemies just fine if you're not an absolute clown but alas
because that's an entirely different response that isn't a phobia response anon. most people who jump off heights in games feel a stomach dropping and a rush, it is not a fear response it's kind of nice in a way its an adrenaline response or something. whilst seeing the wrong kind of spider move will make my skin itch for the next 15 mins and cause me to check the corners of the room/walls/look around regularly for the next day or two
>if you do design spiders it is more than possible to easily make them still entirely acceptable and not frick with most people, plenty of games have done it, it all comes down to the specifics of the design, the movement, the textures, the sounds
Exactly, there's plenty of "spider" type enemies that don't actually trigger the phobia. Souls games have lots of spiders and almost all of them are different enough not to trigger a response in me. The RE3 remake "spiders" were very safe for me, they're spooky but not triggering a phobia. Actually I can look at OP pic just fine and it doesn't spook me but those things move way too realistically in SW, it's the animation that often gets me. You just need to avoid some specific things and at this point it can't be hard to do, it was done many times.
Spider gays really are not only pussies but also the sort of them that thinks that they are special huh
You really think that people with fear of heights feel nothing while playing games?
>You really think that people with fear of heights feel nothing while playing games
How would I know, that's what this guy told me and he claims to be afraid of heights
Even in VR he just get tingles which doesn't sound unpleasant to me. Go on, argue with him if you have experience in that field cause I don't
I cant talk from experience but I dont think fear of heights translates into videogames the same way arachnophobia does
I cant even look at images of spiders
>Spiders never did anything but try to exist freely and be left alone and here you are just spewing arachnophobia all over the place.
Yeah so do alligators and lions you still wouldnt wanna be in the same room
>Being afraid of the very few remaining predators of humans is the same as being afraid of creatures that are always less than 5 feet away from you
>implying spiders don't kill humans
There's nothing irrational about hating them or snakes really. Unlike lions they can sneak up on you. No need to have heightened awareness of a lion in the city, you're not getting jumped on by one
Frick you bigot. Spiders never did anything but try to exist freely and be left alone and here you are just spewing arachnophobia all over the place.
Meh I can’t say it’s all that bad, wouldn’t you like a similar homophobia filter?
>Spiders never did anything but try to exist freely and be left alone
Not in games they're not, in games it's arachnophilic FREAKS who push their arachnophilic propaganda onto me. It's my duty to fight back against this completely irrational behavior by the arachnophilic FREAKS

>THEY DIDNT ASK TO BE BORN THIS WAY
Me neither, death to all arachnids.
homie I have some childhood traumas with spiders and shit. If I'd see something akin to a tarantula anywhere close to me IRL I would probably scream like a little girl. But this shit is vidya. It's not real. Especially when it's some alien creatures. Shit like Skyrim spiders in first person mode were somewhat uncomfortable but guess what, the entire game isn't fricking spiders, who cares, sometimes shit just isn't comfortable.
Yeah sure. I'm not advocating for actual hangings of devs who put spiders in games. It would be nice but let's be rational here. It's fine, I can get through it. Just one more thing in a list of many things that makes games less enjoyable than they could've been.
If you have a phobia of spiders you shouldn’t continue living. There’s spiders within 5 feet of you 24/7. If you can’t deal with an inevitable part of life you shouldn’t be part of said life
>There’s spiders within 5 feet of you 24/7
Not even close to being true
You eat 3 spiders every single night.
There are spiders under your bed right now.
Dry walls are hollow and filled with spiders.
There's a spider hiding under your foreskin right now
When you feel tingly sensations at night it is a spider crawling on you.
God damn it stop repeating this, it's like 3 a year not a day. at least use month if you're going for a bite.
Spiders aren't that fricking moronic, man's a poor consistant source
Maybe they just have a vore fetish
Spiders are pretty damn stupid though
Hence still dying, but what use is a water-hole that only opens sometimes compared to a waterhole that's always open that they can trap? moronic, but 3/month moronic not 3/day
>but could over come it, that's a reason to be smug
i was a crybaby b***h when it came to heights, now i climb trees for a living.
i am extra smug, lick my poopy butthole anon
I dunno. I have acrophobia, but you don't see me demanding they remove bottomless pits from platformers.
>you don't see me demanding they remove bottomless pits from platformers
Are you actually afraid of them in the game though? Or are you just using that as an excuse to win an internet argument
I'm saying that my phobia (yes, it's a real phobia, I get dizzy, weak-kneed, and start to hyper ventilate when I am high up off the ground) doesn't make me demand the developers of a game include an option that removes digital representations of high falls. I am not against devs having arachnophobia modes as it pretty much adds nothing to development costs or time, but arachnophobiagays are unironically the biggest pussies on the planet and its bizarre to me how they somehow are so prolific that everyone caters to them this hard.
You didn't answer the question. Are you actually afraid of pit in Mario games? I bet that fear of heights aren't triggered by basic games like that. And I bet you don't play VR games with bottomless pits where your fear absolutely is triggered. Am I right?
Of course I'm not afraid of them, they're not real. Just like the spiders in other games arent.
Exactly, because obviously a fear of heights isn't triggered by a picture of a goddamn cliff, what point were you even trying to make you moron? Try playing VR games that do height scares and tell me how it totally isn't scary for you then. Those ones actually do trigger your fear
Very convenient for your argument, gaygolio
You're a fricking idiot
I've played many games in VR with heights. They give slight tingles but nothing like how actually being up on a 4 story roof does in real life. Because IT'S NOT REAL.
No it's because VR has the maximum focal length of like 1-2 meters. That would be enough to trick some people but not you I guess, congratulations.
>it's not real
Who gives a frick? The breasts on the screen aren't real either is your dick not getting hard when you look at them? What is this moronic argument?
It's not really an argument, just an observation that arachnophobes are gigantic pussies even when compared to other types of phobes. Seriously how do they function?
I live far in the north, there are zero spiders in my life, I function perfectly well. Meanwhile you get dizzy, weak-kneed, and start to hyper ventilate when you get off the ground. How the frick do YOU function, moron?
People like you should be bullied more often and so should the people who take your concerns seriously
I don't play VR games because I'm not a homosexual and only play good games.
because 98% of people who claim they are arachnophobes are just doing it for attention. see
.
And since its all for attention, what better way to get more attention than making a stink on twitter?
Some spiders can kill you, I think that's the beginning and end of it.
At the end of the day it just comes down to whether or not a bunch of your ancestors got bitten by spiders and had their hands fall of or something. Or maybe they fell of a cliff and got maimed. That's how you end up with a phobia, all there is to it
Some snakes can also kill you but I can't think of any games that have ophidiophobia mode
ummmm acktually spiders are worse than snakes because........they JUST ARE OKAY?
I don't think snakes are even remotely as popular in games as spiders. They're hard to animate so they're pretty rare.
And not a one of them is a digital picture on your screen.
all cliffs can kill you, moron.
And that's why jumping off a cliff in VR is pretty fricking scary. But looking at one really isn't because it does nothing
How is that different from looking at a digital render of a spider? Did you think there was a crucial difference here?
Yes because a spider that sits there presents a threat. A cliff that sits there doesn't, a cliff can't attack you.
>but it's not real
Jumping off a cliff in VR isn't real either dumdum. Still, you can see how it might be a bit scary right
Now you're just arguing "my phobia > your phobia"
No, a digital render of a spider is no more threatening than a digital render of a cliff. I don't care if you "inb4" me on this, it remains a fact.
>No, a digital render of a spider is no more threatening than a digital render of a cliff
Does looking at a cliff trigger your phobia in real life? No? Why would it trigger that in the game then?
Looking at a spider in real life does trigger my phobia. And it does so in a game too.
Let's not pretend to be moronic, I think this is perfectly clear. Try to be rational for a second and read my post calmly. I don't think there's anything to be confused about here but if you are you can ask me a question.
Not him but you sound like a totally irrational pussy
>totally irrational
Yeah that's called a phobia you're starting to get it
>heh I'm not a pussy I wasn't born with this phobia
Doesn't make you brave, just like me not being afraid of cliffs doesn't make me brave. Bravery is about overcoming fears, if you don't have it, you didn't overcome shit.
>born with
Frick off. Trying to pretend mental fortitude and control of oneself is just a matter of dumb luck.
Trying to pretend you're just as brave and normal as everyone else because it's really not your fault you piss yourself when you hear a loud noise or see a hairy bug.
Frick off pussy, you should have been born a girl. Toughen up or get shit on.
Some people are scared of snakes, I'm not. I can tangle up in 100 snakes and fall asleep. Does that make me a TOUGH MENTALLY PREPARED man in your moronic worldview? I didn't do shit to achieve it or overcome any odds, mind you. Juts not afraid of it. Is that TOUGH according to you?
Fear of snakes are evolutionarily engraved into our brains, fear of spiders aren’t
You're not born with an innate irrational fear of spiders , you huge pussy. You developed it because you coddled yourself and told yourself it's normal and unavoidable.
Normal men got over that phase at some point in their childhood, i.e. toughened up.
It's not that we're brave, it's that you're a huge pussy.
It's not that big of a deal, you can live your life and be happy like that. It's fine.
But frick off with the "just as brave as normal people" shit. You're being a pussy so own up to it.
>Does looking at a cliff trigger your phobia in real life?
If someone is afraid of cliffs, yes, you fricking idiot. You lack basic fricking empathy that someone might fear something as much as you fear a fricking 8-legged bug.
>If someone is afraid of cliffs, yes
>if someone
Oh so you don't know what you're talking about. Don't waste my time then, go away
I am afraid of spiders, so I have enough perspective to call you a pussy. Never once did I have to mod spiders out of Skyrim.
>mod spiders out of Skyrim
Those aren't real spiders moron, I didn't mod them out either. They're basically crabs. Congratulations on not being afraid of crabs big guy, now go frick yourself
I'm real happy for you that you disassociated this specific instance, but the whole arachnophobe argument pretty much started with Skyrim and people modding them into bears. If you argue for one "Arachnophobia mode" you probably should argue for all of them. Otherwise "just consider them crabs and get the frick over it" is just agreeing with the opposition, in a way.
Taking a shower can kill you, walking around in a store could kill you, shut the frick up you fricking homosexual pussy
Spiders are the most alien looking animal on the fricking planet. Like aliens in fiction look less fricking alien than 8 legs multiple eyes with fangs mother frickers. Only creatures that even resemble spiders are crabs and they still have a lot of their own features.
Nah there’s freakier shit in the sea
>the forbidden but plug
>Spiders are the most alien looking animal on the fricking planet
Not even close
Irrational fears are torment dude. I genuinely feel like I’m in a life or death situation due to my erotophobia
W O M E N
Ask any women you know, have known or will ever know, they will all 100% claim to be arachnophobe.
That's because it makes them cute and vulnerable in a completely socially normal and acceptable way, expected even.
Women are wired to act weak, it's a sexual thing. We are wired to act tough, it's the same sexual thing.
This current trend of pseudo arachnophobia is an extremely vivid example of sex dynamics at work.
I don't know maybe the are actually afraid of spiders more. Think about it logically, men hunted, women foraged. As a hunter, what are you afraid of? Fangs, big eyes in the dark, claws, that shit. As a forager what are you afraid of? Spiders, snakes, rats, that shit that's down there where you're foraging. Not really that weird what you think about it
Phobia are by definition supposed to be irrational though.
Your theory kinda makes sense I guess but I have a hard time believing it.
I really think we all find spiders the same amount of creepy just like we all find tigers the same amount of scary.
Women just lean into it because it's trendy and cute.
Real arachnophobes are rare and another matter completely. It's a mental illness and I wouldn't make light of it.
>I really think we all find spiders the same amount of creepy just like we all find tigers the same amount of scary.
The fact that you even put that in the same sentence tells me you don't find spiders as scary as I do. I don't care about tigers, snakes, bats or even fantasy spider type enemies that don't trigger the specific triggers in my brain that say SPIDER. It's kind of a binary thing it's either a spider or it's not a spider, there's no gradient where something that's a bit like a spider is 80% as scary to me, it's 0% as scary if it's not a spider. Like how RE3 remake spiders are not scary to me at all because they don't register as spiders for me but RE3 original PS1 ugly ass bastards do register and do trigger the response in me.
Am I super rare? I don't think so, maybe I am.
You should get bottom surgery so your outside matches your inside you useless fricking pussy.
You're on Ganker.org tough guy, go frick yourself
Maybe you're special and actually have a mental disorder about spiders, if you're truly that far gone. Work on yourself and fix it. It's literally all in your head.
but I guarantee you 99% of "arachnophobes" out there are just women who go ewie when there's a creepy crawly in the room and a man to witness it, but just smashes it when they're on their own and move on with their business.
>Work on yourself and fix it. It's literally all in your head.
Like I said before in this thread my problem is I live high up north. I think southerners in general are a lot more comfortable with spiders than us. You put them into games thinking everyone around the world is used to those freaks crawling all around them
Why would anyone hate God's insect repellant?
They were flies in previous lives hence their natural fears towards the spider.
I have kinda severe Arachnophobia and freeze up when I see a spider, for this reason Giant spiders are one of my favorite enemies, when these people play horror games, do they consider it bad if it actually scares them? I just don't get the mindset of these people.
Bring on all the giant spiders because they actually creep me out, and that's a GOOD THING for a fricking videogame where your fighting to survive
Mammals and most animals that are currently alive have instinctual fear of Snakes and Spiders, it's not that odd. Some are just very incapable of coping with the feeling though.
It happens a young age. You are taught spiders is something that is dangerous and to avoid in school as well as common in all media. Unless you had someone to show you otherwise in the real world, there's a chance the kid will have the phobia.
Easy virtue signalling
>Here's how to toggle an option in a game
There is noway online 'journalism' is sustainable, the ad money per page view must be microscopic if they have to stretch an option in a menu to 1000 words.
They're just pumping out articles by the hundreds using chatgpt to catch search engine results.
Online publications are fricking dead.
>develop maps around new trending modes instead of the ones your fans already liked
There's no reason not to. People who liked the established modes of the existing game will just play the existing game. It's why there's no point in Unreal Tournament continuing as a franchise because everyone's still just plugging away at UT99 (although UT4 surprisingly does have a mapping scene).
>game loads in shit across the map that there's no way you'll see unless you wallhack
post-BSP mapping was a mistake
death to Unreal
death to Unity
Why are giant spiders an enemy in a galaxy far far away?
Why are humans
A ball with fangs, eyes and long legs is probably way more evolutionarily inevitable than a chimp with a weird supercomputer in its skull
The fact that you have like 3 different types in one game where basically none exist in other SW media is definitely weird. Spider freaks were involved in making that
I have severe homophobia. When are game devs going to start pandering to me with a game mode?
'ate spoders in me room
luv spoders in vidya
simple as
Spiders that live in your closet and the corner of your room are cool. I let mine be when I moved into my grandmother’s basement for a bit
>Spiders that live in your closet and the corner of your room are cool.
I used to kill or capture/remove on sight, but tried subscribing to the 'spiders are bros and catch annoying insects' school of thought.
It's a load of shit - the spiders just sit in the corner nearly all the time and never fricking catch anything, while flies and shit fly around the middle of the room. They'd just die in their webs without catching anything, or occasionally they'd walk over my bed in the night and I'd wake up with a squished spider next to me.
I feel like they could have given players this option without announcing it?
Why can’t Skullgirls have naïve angel mode instead 4kid censorship?
Forget spiders.
When are they going to have an option to remove bats from vidya? Devs can be dicks with bats and like using them as jumpscares in games. I’m always on edge whenever I enter a cave level because of this. And I have to turn away whenever there’s bats around me.
Seriously, frick bats.

Why not kill them so you can literally conquer your fear?
t. arachnophobe
Sorry buddy if I don't want to have sex with the monster it's bad game design I need to be able to imagine myself laying down on the ground and letting it have sex with me
That only works in real life because in games mobs spawn endlessly. Can't really kill anything in a game permanently. If I could rewrite the code to eliminate them from the game, that would be make me feel in control. Otherwise I'm not in control am I, any "death" is temporary in a game
Shadow tower has a limited number of monster spawns
Wowwww I want to kill the enemy as fast as possible because it looks threatening? That's bad creature design!
>threatening

t. people who don't understand what phobias are
When I see a spider I get a BOOOM sound in my ears because blood rushes to my head and you expect me to pay money for this experience? Phobias aren't just fear, they're way more primal than that
>you expect me to pay money for this experience?
Sounds cozy and actually worth the money devs charge nowadays
I’ll never get people who want to escape their fears
I have an unhealthy fear of the ocean and the deep sea, but seeing games begin to perfect that terrifying feeling always gets my attention and makes me want to see how well they captured that feeling
>locking the character's view direction to the camera direction
It's a really stupid design, especially in action games with melee combat. In real life you aren't forced to look in the direction you swing or aim your weapon, this makes it feel like you have a handicap. Yet it's a very typical control scheme for western games in particular.
I always thought arachnophobia was just a funny meme setting.
Lack of a proper fricking physics engine.
AAA games feel like trash to play.

You only get to ride that train if you even offer me a pacifist route to begin with that has an actual impact on the plot, because then I'll actually feel bad about the things I did now that I know the game was giving me an option not to do it.
>"We made our open world enormous! Look how far technology has come!" okay but are you going to populate that space with meaningful content that isn't flyover worthy and NPCs you actually remember as good characters? No? Then downsize your fricking open world. It saves you budget that you can now spend on better writers who can now populate the smaller space with more memorable NPCs, it wastes less of my time, and I will come away from the game actually remembering what happened in it.

Would be a lot easier if arachnophilic FREAKS didn't put those creeps into every fantasy game. Not exactly a niche enemy type, even FF has them now apparently with 16.
This inspired me to include an archnophobia setting in the game I'm developing.
I'd make it so that, when set to on, the mode will turn every enemy into a spider, just to spite archnophobes.
It's because they are pussies :^)

prinny dood here, that was the joke, hence the mindless prinny
If i ever made a game i would add an arachnophobia mode that just adds more spiders to the game
I actually got filtered by spiders in Northern Journey.
Exposure therapy works as a treatment for phobias. Seek not accommodation for that which can be fixed.
Where are the games with agoraphobia mode? Turn everything into a corridor, but not too cramped since we have to keep claustrophobic agoraphobic people in mind. I hope GTA VI has this, it's 2023.
I remember just barely being able to look at the spiders and sandworms in Diablo 2 and to a lesser degree minecrawlers in Gothic1 and essentially fighting the sand worm queen blind or half blind to avoid looking at it.

Being afraid of something typically venomous is not a disability, it's rationality. Where it leaves the realm of "rational" is arguing you can't even look at a digital monster in a game without being "triggered."
>typically
hell aren't majority of spiders non-venomous to man anyways? some snakes can strangle minus venom, the frick is a non-venomous spider gonna do aside be an annoyance?
Even the venomous spiders aren’t that deadly. Shit like black widows and brown recluses are harmless 99% of the time. Very rarely humans will have a bad reaction but that’s like being scared of peanuts because some humans are allergic and you might have a bad reaction to one.
>just let widows and recluses bite you!
waitaminute now post your hand homie
What’s that got to do with anything?
>that’s like being scared of peanuts
No it isn't. Because someone is either allergic or they are not. But there will always be deadly spiders in the world no matter who you are.
I mean it's not wrong
I would consider a full grown man who cowers and cries in the corner when encountering a spider to be disabled
Anyone who goes to that length is already disabled in some other obvious way, or faking it for attention.
I'm more afraid of wasps than spiders.
Is Jedi survivor worth playing if I thought that the first one had sloppy gameplay? I liked the idea but the execution was poor.
Yes
bro we all know you're in the closet and secretly want to frick spiders with that arachnophobia just come clean
>Enable arachnophobia mode
>It just makes it so spiders have six legs instead of eight
You're welcome.
The only game that ever fricked me up is grounded but the arachnophobia mode in that game turns the fricking spider into some flying blob
AAAAAAAAAAHHHH SAVE ME EA!!!!!!!!!
>Cartoon weirdo spider that barely looks like one at all.
No idea how this could trigger an actual phobia.
Im afraid of Black folks can we start getting toggles for that
Every man’s worst fear…
BOO
>hate spiders
>see spider in my house
>kill it
>see spider in game
>kill it
I don’t see why this mode is necessary
If anything I want more spiders, but with slow motion and dismemberment mechanics on so I can destroy their bodies piece by piece while their green goo sprays everywhere
The difference between hating spiders and having a phobia is that you get a panic attack if you are in the same room
Does the panic attack go away after killing the spider? If so, then I don't see why this mode is necessary.
Killing it requires to get close and look at it so that sucks
It also means that there might be its disgusting body parts or intestines sticking to the wall
You wouldn’t be panicking if you killed it.
Honestly sounds low test to me. Just grow some balls and hit it with a stick.
>b-but it’s scawwy
Grow some balls and hit it with a stick. That spider isn’t going to hurt you but my foot going up your ass sure as hell will.
???????
Do you think I just fricking leave me house and get a neighbor to get rid of the thing?
Of course I fricking kill it but that doesnt make me feel any better.
>Dry walls
Do burgers really
>Lack of Sound Test mode in options/settings. I want to hear all the music and effects from the game sometimes b***h
>Forced keybinds
>No dedicated server/map making/mod support for multiplayer games
>Crossplay with overtuned controller aimbot...I mean aim assist
>Being able to tweak certain visual options to give you an advantage (grass render distance) instead of forcing autists to just enjoy the games scenery as is
>Arachnophobia mode
Enabling this mode makes you not beat the game.
Would replacing the giant spiders with giant scorpions help?
Imagine all the work to make an entire class of enemy optional. The ultimate implication is that games shouldn't feature spiders out of inclusivity. Globohomosexual wants to take your spiders.
>tfw can't even poke fun at strangers' complete pussification over digital arachnids without being called racist or some shit
It's piss easy to implement such features, but holy shit does it stroke egos that really should not be stroked.
is arachnophobia the new tripophobia?
Apparently it’s the new homophobia considering how blatant and disgusting it is around here
Reminder that not even primates have this level of fear towards spiders
arachnaphobia mode is so homosexual, muh accessibility options. Give me harder battles, give me scarier spiders. Where is that option gay boy
