    Ironically as a Canadian who had never run into this usage of punting I actually put it together thanks to my random knowledge of the Punt Gun, a massive single-shot shotgun from the Victorian era used to hunt entire flocks of waterfowl with one trigger pull. They were so large and powerful they couldn’t be safely used when held by a person, so you’d lie down in a boat and brace it against the boat (which I suppose is now termed the punt)

    They were eventually shunned due to being considered unsporting (and decimating the local population of bird with ease.)










  • Nothing wrong with wanting to be more engaged. I don’t like walking simulators either, largely because they seldom have enough else going on to engage me. This is why the Stanley Parable is so exceptional in my mind, all I’m doing is walking and I’m just as engaged as any other game I’ve played, which is a testament to the strength of it’s writing.

    I strongly recommend Kingdom with a friend, it helps shore up some of its occasionally rough edges. If all else fails pull up it’s OST on Spotify/YouTube/Tidal and appreciate it
