flagrant pearopaganda

right? so much life pulsing through the thing. i felt spoilt. “all this for a single ticket?”

the people demand it

CRASHOUT FOR THE AGES

Shelved By Genre: come for the insightful and funny analysis of genre fiction, like The Hobbit; stay for bits like Wild West Trolls and Red Dead’s Arthur Morgan looking for Garmonbozia

Phantasy Star Online ver.2 (DC / Sonic Team / 2001) - Pioneer II

THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

Official 2002 European Super Mario Sunshine screensaver that features Mario sliding across the screen and periodically turning into his famous "aggressive" render from that game.

sometimes video games are just… a lot

and that compounds. “oh i can mash B and my top speed isn’t impacted at cruising”, “oh i can use copy abilities and inhale more aggressively”, and so on.

once i could consistently get lap times in the first course of below 30s with the formula star or the bulk star, everything fell into place

for me the thing that really helped was going into time trials and really paying attention to what caused my cruising speed to drop around corners, and what didn’t. (eg mashing break has surprisingly little impact even with low acceleration vehicles like formula star)

you love to see it

Not to be too mushy, but work like your studios’ is why I’m in this industry. Can’t wait.

i abandoned core toy

extremely “Lingo (2021)”-coded post, I love it

(this is so not relevant, but) looking closely, i reckon the F is actually a folded out of view R as in ARMY

without being too specific, I loved - LOVED - the final minute or two before the cut to credits

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2? Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has. Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something. Tateishi: … Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack? Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

the gascoigne runback in bloodborne always works for me. through the city gates, past the big guys, down the elevator, across the bridge with the flaming nonsense, and into the narrow back alleys. chef’s kiss

i camembert to go without these rich complex flavours

the question in the back of my mind here is “worse outcomes… for who? over what timespan?”

Thinking About Game Difficulty Periodically a wave of discussion about game difficulty occurs in game developer spaces, so I wanted to share some thoughts that Zach Barth and Keith Holman of Zachtronics [http://www.zachtronics.com]...

If you want to think about game difficulty it may help to be precise. Here is my brief writeup of Zach Barth’s Difficulty Pentagram, from Cohost, long may she live.

playing hollow knight for the first time starts by feels like standing in a dimly lit room in an old haunt. and then by the end you’ve turned on the lights and realise you’re standing in a cathedral. and then bam, credits, at the peak of that feeling.

i think hollow knight is one of those games that reveals itself to be “””a rare game””” with more and more distance, and that synced well with the wait for silksong.

What’s this about a thought living “rent free” in your head? Are you telling me you normally charge your thoughts rent? That you’re the landlord of your mind?
