What's a game you feel only you have played?

Crank beliefs you have? I believe ghosts are real with the strongest possible commitment. I know this is a parascientific belief, no evidence. Doesn't matter. I know they are real.

"Amid hints that AI is a spectral bubble floating a hallucinatory economy, these books suggest just how weird things will get."

Ordinary people being curious about a lab leak back when COVID-19 first emerged is understandable.

Anyone pushing it by this point wants to destroy science and modern medicine for authoritarian goals, and is using paramedical and parascientific lingo to do it.

Now, do we in the parascientific community have our torrid little conclaves, where we swap discoveries and bodily fluids? Absolutely. Picture one of the rowdier meet-ups of the college computer club and you'll get the idea. But what we *don't* do is show fealty to some blockhead nazi scion.

I suddenly remembered the Parascientific Escape series on the ds

I think those were one of the first few games I played on the ds bc I remember them being pretty cheap xD

They were fun though! It was kind of like a vn with some gameplay elements?

What was it about the “end of history” mood of the 90s that made parascientific stuff seem like the only frontier left for humanity?

PARASCIENTIFIC ESCAPE: GEAR DETECTIVE
What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

The answer for me lies in a category called 'parascientific media.' Extending the work done by Sarah Kaplan and Joanna Radin, I understand parascientific media to denote the set of substrates and techniques that think about the science at hand around the conventional apparatus.

"Disenchanted enchantment anticipates a range of phenomena observable today, perhaps none more than the hothouse of Silicon Valley." Jordan Williamson examines occult presences in the most seemingly hyperrational spaces of modernity: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/disenchanted-enchantment/
Disenchanted Enchantment | Los Angeles Review of Books
Jordan Williamson investigates Derek Lee’s “Parascientific Revolutions: The Science and Culture of the Paranormal” and Joshua Comaroff’s “Spectropolis: The Enchantment of Capital in Singapore.”
