It’s good.

I liked it.

But none of that famous American sport that we all love… Baseball! The game of America!

(Idk, I’m making fun of American jingoism now.)

    It gets better towards the end. The first few episodes are almost overwhelming with the amount of shiny BS thrown in for epic gamers. I wanted to dislike it, but it isn’t bad. Could do without the gore. It isn’t as funny as they think it is (the gore specifically I mean, its just disturbing - some parts of the show are very funny). Overall worth watching.

    The Brotherhood parts I liked quite a bit.

      I guess it takes a special kind to find the gory death animations from Fallout 1 to be both hilarious and satisfying. That’s also a pixel game so Idk…

          How feasible would it be for me to watch and avoid looking at the gore? Like is it random for shock value, or is it in scenes where I could reasonably guess that gore will appear and look away from the screen for a while?

          I ask because I have this fun kind of mirror synesthesia where if I see people being hurt, my brain will occasionally decide to simulate the pain for me on the same body part, and it gets stuck like that for 15-20 minutes before fading. It can make shows really uncomfortable to watch.

            I’d skip this one for sure if I were you. It is used for random shock value and it’s so frequent that, even if you could predict it all, you’d be looking away from the screen so often you may as well turn it off and pretend it’s an audio drama.
