The Best FIFA Football Awards - Wikipedia

the old-school simpsons fan in me is delighted this exists: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bes...

I do refer to it as The Outstanding Achievement In The Field Of Excellence Award

workshopping 80s car dealership ad music as in-game store BGM (not the music itself but in that style)

It was, I'm just old enough to remember the OJ trial and Columbine so I think the rot set in long before facebook opened up to everyone

the 24-hour news cycle was a mistake and was never good for anyone but media moguls

it would be surely unthinkable if an up-and-coming social media thing shot itself in the foot before it could really take off, but nonetheless I added my mastodon to my bio so people can find me (if they want)

Done!

Is it still very heavily tied to voxels?

If we just get mad enough things will get better surely

very different game but that's octopath traveler's endgame too, an eight-part boss rush before the final final boss, all without a save point so dying at any time means doing the whole thing again. One of my few "games shouldn't do this".

people got no sense of history for these things, uvalde cops caught a lot of shit for their response (and rightly so) but littleton did the same thing at columbine so it wasn't new

suikoden 1 and 2 have sprites in that vein but also go hard on the animation which is the approach I like the most

Oh hell yes, I was just lamenting I forgot my password but it turns out I'm still logged in there too

always and forever, signed a Jays fan

One of my favourite bits of SMT V is finding vending machines in the weirdest places which is some of the energy I want to bring as well

the only show/narrative work I've ever accurately predicted plot development for was Riverdale so idk what that says about me

it's cool to theorycraft but getting super invested in your predictions being right might possibly mean you're not really into the work and just want to prove you are the best at media literacy, which might be misplaced priorities. Might not be a bad idea to instead sit back and enjoy the ride

I have to admit I'm confused, because like, what's wrong with taking Symphony of the Night loop and changing the aesthetics? It's one of the greatest games of all time already! That seems like a better idea for an influence than something that tries a bunch of new shit poorly

Finally it's safe to like jrpgs and turn-based combat again! -- Every year since Dragon Quest I

I've been wondering about some variant of this since I went back to play Secret of Mana (it'd been a while) and realized I'd absorbed some of that energy because I kept thinking "oh this is bad design" but is it? Anyway I was mortified because I hate that line of thinking

ok but serious post I only use Mutuals for similar reasons, I ripped that Discover button straight out of my UI

being the architect of your own misery is the pro strat, if I've learned anything from Always Sunny it's that

the urge has been growing for me to just put boom-bap drums all over the OST

my game is postponed until C-Jam Blues is in the public domain

back when I was still doing a computer science degree I was stoked about a systems analysis class and it was all user stories and shit and I was so demoralized

I think the more remarkable thing is that the reception wasn't chilly honestly

is that what that fucking shit is?! What the hell

I sometimes see the opposite, a game with multiple UI styles and fonts and no seeming cohesion to any of it, equally confusing

apparently I was not the only person who thought Big Shiny Tunes 2 was the best of the bunch as it's apparently the fourth-best selling album in Canadian history as of 2020

I think the first two were the best of the series tbh, there were some real gems there

amazing that there's a loneliness epidemic and friendflation at the same time
