      the citadel isn't guro, or ero guro as it's frequently shortened to. guro, coming from english, means grotesque, while ero guro means erotic *and* grotesque. the content on display for the most part is simply guro, grotesque.
      the developer has gone on record saying he is *not* an ero guro artist, but a guro artist. the distinction is important because it's clear that while the gore in the game is grotesque, it's not meant to be taken in an erotic fashion. the only explicitly sexual content in the game that i've actually been able to see as erotic or suggestive at all is the main character's-- Martyr's --design and the final boss, which are two bare-skin girls without any genitalia or mammary glands. that's pretty much it.
      the game was review-bombed due to this misconception on release, especially after GmanLive's video on the game.

      @@snesbagel If Azathoth were awoken all existence would evaporate like a dream that's come to an end. Best case scenario would be Azathoth going back to sleep and hopefully dreaming up a better universe. I've also noticed that in Lovecraft's stories, Nyarlahotep seems to "hunt" humans who attain immortality of soul in the dream lands, hinting that perhaps when humans realize that they don't have to die, those thoughts cause the sleeping to stir in his slumber. Or maybe that dreams which are superbly humane and ideal might awaken the sleeping god? But in the end if the universe is truly indifferent then that indifference even applies to Azathoth, who may some day be overthrown by someone who's even better at sleeping than Azathoth is.

    I was actually surprised at the level of research you had done into Ero Guro. Usually people just associate it with porn and sweep it under the rug. However, I would like to make minor corrections. I wouldn't say Rampo invented it, but he was the most famous to get involved into it. The art movement more developed with heightened censorship laws in the 1910s and 20s. Art and literary magazines would push the envelopes in response to the censorship laws, arguing that they are unfairly and unevenly enforced. They would obscure the lines of upsetting imagery, yet not violate the laws to the letter, seeing if such things would still get pushback by censors. It is incredibly hard to get a hold of much of the literature made at the time, though supposedly there are libraries out in the world preserving them.
    You are on point definitely about the 1960s and 1970s being a cinematic era of Ero-guro. Funnily enough a lot of the films were Rampo adaptations. The pornographic part of the era (pink films) is a little more complicated. A great piece of reading I recommend is Behind the Pink Curtain by Jasper Sharp (though it is relatively hard to get a hold of now, hopefully this changes). Where Jasper lays out the development of sex cinema in Japan and its oddly political roots. Pink films aren't purely for pornographic purposes (at least a chunk of them). Films from companies like Wakamatsu Production were actually attempts to get out from under the rigid Japanese film system and were widely accepted in important international film festivals as political works of art. Much of it supposedly commenting on war and societal violence. Was that to say that it wasn't supposed to be spicy? No, it was still supposed to be titillating and exciting, admittedly. But, politics was supposedly at the forefront of the creators' minds. Even into the early 2000s, pink films still had political edge to them in different ways. However, by that point, pink films and straight up pornos were very much distinct from each other; pink films having a distinctly softcore edge.
    I would argue that through the 90s and the 2000s, Ero Guro still maintains an artistic edge that we do so outside of weirdo sicko type hentai. A whole sub-genre of music is dedicated to the aesthetic (Ero Guro Kei...Shout out to Early Cali-Gari). I do hope that there is a chance to educate people on its history before people get categorized with the gore freaks out there.

    I'll be frank, I think it a little bit unfair to call it a "gooner" shooter when the only really sexualized element is The Martyr's outfit and the fact that you could see her chest and her legs when you look down. The rest of the game is a really solid Marathon-like with unnecessarily tactical mechanics and hardcore over-the-top gory violence taken straight from Brutal Doom. It probably would've been more widely accepted by the boomer shooter community in a heartbeat if it weren't for the anime artstyle. That said, I am beyond hyped (lol) for Beyond Citadel. Played the demo for that recently and found it a net upgrade pretty much across the board, especially in the aspect of making the environments actually look somewhat varied, rather than being made of the same dark teal textures for literally every aspect of the environment the way the first game did.

    Since you touched on it, uh, a good reminder for people to not harass the creator, as far as we know they didn't hurt anything but his creations, we're all weird in different amount of ways. I think at release one UA-camr talked about it and it caused a massive amount of strange people harassing them, not even the UA-camr fault either, you just, never know the people that follow you, pretty sure they apologized too even tho' it's not necessarily their fault.
    It's a single dev, they're passionate about a lot of things, you might not like some, but its always fiction unless proven otherwise, if you don't like it, act like an adult and don't buy it and move on.
    But yeah, guro's weird, but it really adds to the horror here. The second game is looking amazing tho', you can dropkick motherfuckers, its incredible. You didn't touch on it, but this game has a lot of options for like, real gun physics and shit which makes the game even harder, but its kinda cool that its there, and that you can opt for something more arcadey if you don't like dealing with bullet drops.

      @@RayTC Fuck's sake, it's supposed to be a play on the term "boomer shooter", half the comments saying I'm wrong are talking about H-Doom (which is a mod, not a full game) and Hedon (which came out afterwards). It's supposed to be a joke, I didn't expect people to take this shit that seriously.

    I get the strong impression that what makes a game run well is lots of fiddling with the graphics drivers - all of them, from every possible GPU - and how the game software interfaces with those drivers in order to throw its image onto your screen. This is the kind of mundane, uninteresting work that AAA studios excel at because they can just throw bodies at the problem, bodies who don't get to quit until all the bugs are worked out and the game runs smooth. By contrast, one motivated bedroom dev with a vision can put out some impressive games, but lacks the will or the manpower to do this optimization work. Often the dev just says "eh, good enough", especially when it's one for the goon cave and you have to pretend you didn't make it. It's one of the big downsides of indy development.
