I'm gonna go to my grave mad about "bsky has no algorithm" like oh yeah then explain why the most tedious liberals ever show up the second any remotely funny post gets more than 100 likes

F-Zero SNES is single player

HE'S COME TO COLLECT.

of the Devil - Episode 2: December 18th.

I think this might be the end of Scathighs' posting career, it doesn't get better than this

Media from the 20th century really had me thinking my adulthood was going to be going over to my neighbor's house to get a cup of sugar. I think if you did that in America now you'd either get shot, or a venmo request for the sugar they gave you.

Anyway the real issue is that "search-action" and "learn-action" just feel awful to say. If people are serious about changing the terminology, they should go with something like "action-exploration" that sound more natural to say.

Most genres are defined based on some expectation of foreknowledge, try explaining what a CRPG or a JRPG is to someone without knowledge of the genres, and without referencing previous works. It's hard to get a genre line as clean as FPS because most genres aren't defined by a camera perspective.

This of course relates to my existing dislike of "search-action" which is a way worse genre label than the label it's try to replace

Sorry but you will never catch me calling games "learn-action". Especially since the stuff in that part of the chart is the only stuff I would actually feel good calling a "metroidbrania"

I played the PC port of MGS1 Integral recently, and while it does have some problems (like most of the gimmicks from psycho mantis fight not being present) it does have a version of first-person aiming that breaks the game way less than Twin Snakes did

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

A frame of Ginjiro from High and Low. He is hiding among flowers, and the landscape is reflected in his sunglasses

A frame of Ginjiro from High and Low in alley, W.C. on the door of a toilet is reflected in his sunglasses.

Imagine if they remade High and Low today and all the shots like this were in color but you couldn't see anything in the reflection of his glasses, but people were talking about how it looks better cause it's in color and the old B&W just made the film too inaccessible.

I realize this sort of exists, but the nature of remaking a movie means that you rarely get actual shot-for-shot remakes, and it usually ends up being a different movie with the same name.

Dude imagine if movie studios were releasing remakes of black and white movies that were just shot-for-shot remakes in full color, and the switch to color just completely washed out all the interesting lighting choices from the original black and white filmmaking

I'd been seeing art of Yoko from Gurren Lagan for over a decade before I learned she's supposed to be 14 and I was like HUH

Tracked down the original post to see their bio to see what kind of person would post this (because I hate myself) and the first thing in their bio is 'whovian' before any other personal information like 'dad'. Checks out.

The thing that gets me about this is that it looks like gameplay but nothing ever actually happens. They shoot at things like there's something to shoot at, but nobody ever gets shot. It's just a sequence of things happening that look vaguely like a game.

The world wasn't ready for Loadout...

And here I was, hyped about another game just for it to be ruined. What a joke of a game.

Back in the day you would finish a game and it would say something like "see you next time!" and then you wouldn't see that character again for another 20 years. These days they don't say anything like that even though they know they have 20 more Next Times already in production

The game really said "You don't need to see this".

Yeah you mentioned not being sure if you'll be having fun with SF6 in 15 years which is a valid concern, but that doesn't take away from having fun with the game *now* at all. We now have fighting games that range from fun for 15 minutes to fun for 15 years and that's awesome

Honestly I tried it recently and while I am a sicko, I think 20 years of hearing that game's reputation oversold me on just how difficult it would be. I think if you go into it ready to engage with it the way that it is, it's not really all that difficult to get into.

I think which you prefer is up to taste, but I think either option is always better than games that try to strip out all high execution options, even if they only are 10% more effective.

I don't think the article in question is *wrong*, but I've been enjoying 2XKO and I do think there's more to it than they give credit for. It's just that a lot of the high execution/niche stuff in the game is like, 10% more effective instead of 100% more effective

Testing a theory:

reskeet if "every ICE agent will be unmasked and tried for their crimes" would get your vote

Ekko/Vi funny moments

If you do watch One Piece, you should check out the One Pace project, cuts out a ton of filler content and improves the pacing of the editing a good amount.

Also it's really good, not without problems, but genuinely some of my favorite queer rep in anime.

It's not his fault half the queer community uses the terms interchangably too, gotta blame his chat for that one unfortunately

Triangle with Sashi-Kaeshi (Passively Waiting)->Oki-Waza (Preempting your Opponent)->Ate-Waza (Establishing your Offense)

Fighting gamers will find literally any excuse to explain fighting game mechanics as a triangle
