Lilura's Blog: An Ongoing Codexian Obsession

[Sceptic]

Next up, GOAT platformers of the 90ies

Fixed for Lilurian accuracy.

Controversial-but-expected take.

A bit surprised that she doesn't mention how the game turns into total garbage even before Xen with the platforming section right before it.

DraQ pointed out long ago that Xen has nothing on Residue Processing, and when I replayed the game a few years ago I could confirm he's 100% correct.

On thinking it over I find the statements not too surprising. The Quale2>HL1 is pure stirring the pot, attempting to be relevant by picking whatever is accepted and taking an opposite view to be contrarian. Shitting on Xen as the turning point is the immortal meme, what everyone remembers and repeats because we don't care to remember specifically when the game actually goes all-out stupid. Paradoxically, both attitudes are completely in-character for her.

That Lilura. Can't even make her own contrarian opinion, has to go steal one I made almost 12 years ago.

Q2 > HL1 is as old as the games themselves

Autism and search engine optimization.

I can understand SEO part but wtf autism has to do with this?
Is there correlation between autism and wiki? Strive for meticulousness maybe?

Are you really a (((hook-nosed gnome))) with turnip plantation??!
Do you need workers btw?

Leave Lilura alone!

The epic level autist has no personality. It simply spews information.

I imagined this to be spoken with the dramatic inflection of Chris "Who?" Crocker. Amazing that Lilura hasn't posted in this forum for years and she still obsesses y'all. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Maybe because (s)he didn't use chatgpt to make arguments unlike brucie, lambchop, liberal etc.

Love or hate her, Lilura was certainly one of the few truly unique characters on this forum. Independent thinkers who truly arrive at their opinions on their own, rather than either parroting groups they like, or being contrarian, tend to end up being relevant and generating a following. Whether you agree with them, or think they're completely retarded, they're always interesting and memorable, it's the type of person that you notice in the sea of NPCs.

 

[Jack Of Owls]

Yes. To quote the lyrics of a song: ♫Love me or hate me, I'm still your obsession♫

Quake movement and gunplay simply feels better: control is silkier yet weightier and more impactful (battles that evoke earthquakes)

Wait, what? Was Quake called Quake because of how its combat "feels"?

Lol yeah he definitely wasn't parroting the latest msm WHITE PEOPLE BAD agenda, definitely 100% original scholarly research.

Are you looking for a job? If so, you're out of luck. My plantation is operated by Turnip golem which are free and more efficient at picking turnips than any race!

Golems... made of turnips? And you're forcing them to harvest their own kind?

Lilura returns to shooters: https://lilura1.blogspot.com/2023/12/Half-Life-1-Review-Valve-1998.html

Next up, best platformers of the 90ies

Lilura is clearly suffering side-effects from her prolonged absence and should return promptly in order to resume her position as the gem in the crown of the Codex:

 

[Just Locus]

Never read any of Lilura's blogs - Her Morrowind blog post was the first one I read and made me consider it the last.

She throws shade about the game being on Console, saying that it "should tell the reader all they need to know about this turd" although Morrowind on Xbox felt more tacked-on than its respective sequels, or in other words, Morrowind on Xbox felt like a PC game that was reconfigured to work on Xbox, as opposed to the later games which worked the other way around.
The entirety of the blog reads like an unprofessional journalist who was forced to play Morrowind despite not enjoying it, criticizing the gameplay for the lack of 'player engagement' even though by that criteria; Oblivion and Skyrim are the most fun games because they have more 'engagement' than Morrowind in terms of combat, she doesn't mention how to find quest objectives require exploring and observing your surroundings while constantly going back to your journal to re-assess the mentioned directions comparative to your surroundings etc, which is strong player engagement that she says the game lacks, among other hypocritical and lack of attentive analysis.

Also, the font size is way too big. It serves only to give the illusion that there's more being said simply because the words cover more on the screen, among other usability issues that harm the reading experience, ones that other users on this thread have already mentioned.

That said, Quake 2 is a great game. Much better than Half-Life.

Controversial-but-expected take.

She is completely correct.

I see a butt-blasted valvedrone has reacted. Merry Christmas!

Calling Lilura's a woman is probably the Codex's longest-running joke.

How do you know lolura's a woman?

Women are more reliable at telling whether someone else on the internet is a woman or not and all the female Codexers I've known have never called it into question. It's only guys that doubt.
