Chunky pixels my beloved

I thought it meant indifference, like if ppl were ambivalent to each other they had no strong opinion on each other

You look at a lot of the Eastern European and SEA territories where piracy was rampant for decades, and they now have vibrant dev scenes and plenty of legitimate marketplaces. I can’t think of Roblox helping create any dev environment besides an acceptance of low-pay crunch

i've been using 'ambivalent' wrong ouuuugghghgh im a fraud

As a kid I had that and OOT on the gamecube collection and it took until i was 10 to realize they were N64 games, they're absurdly well-considered around the architecture and haven't aged a day

even though the n64 is a blurry sluggish monster i like the hardware and wish it had more games that weren't just throwaway collectathons and racing sims. A cartridge-based 5th gen console comes with some very cool limitations and I like the 6-button setup

and of course, happy #chelnovember!

i enjoy disrespecting the n64 as much as the next sensible gamer with taste but as time goes on i find myself becoming a defender of the n64 controller because everyone hates it incorrectly

*brain operating on several layers of thought so as to produce completely incoherent sentences* RPGs are like the MCU of video games

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

the game kinda knows this and addresses it through the routes, usually one focuses on enemy scenarios while the other is scenic, though i'd prefer a concrete 7-8 stage campaign where every level is meaningful and thoughtfully-produced

The key thing to notice about these reviews, and reviews of Arcade games in general, is how its a critique of the Structure itself, not the gameplay, not really

The crime itself is it being an Arcade game, regardless of the games actual quality

if 1 is a movie, zwei is the shiny loud rollercoaster at six flags based on it

playing more panzer dragoon zwei and it's extremely unfortunate how un-desiged that game is as you play it more, it has so much dead space compared to 1, it's somehow more focused on the cinematic feelings despite having boxier, closed-in areas

there he is!

michael is a good name. michael is my ringtone.

please give this sword person a name

every 90's shmup with selectable characters has got the

-cool buff guy
-pixie girl
-eldritch horror demon beast in a fancy suit
-dog

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

The divide between traditional drum percussion and electronic/machinery percussion is really good

that kinda leads into the other problem, the inherent baggage that comes with making cowboy flicks, their role as propaganda and what they crib from mexican caballeros

i'd want to find that perfect intersection between authentic, honest, and cool

it's a very pretty game, especially by 95 for a mostly-unknown studio

have yet to play a game with any moment as malicious as TopMΩ

more RPGs should do what mega man battle network/star force do and just let you randomly encounter higher-level versions of bosses you previously fought. the newgens need to know how it feels to get jumped by quickmanV3 when you're still in the earlygame

yee I've played it, I honestly don't like it, it's a gunstar clone going for the modular approach to run and gun of lots of moves and beat-em-up-esque enemy swarms, but then the stages are more memo-heavy like a contra. it's a weird mix and too difficult

I think westerns would be a good setting for a shmup kind of like how Sorcer Striker is fantasy but in spaceships. something with multiple player characters with goofy personalities

but I know so little about westerns as a genre beyond surface-level tropes, so I'd want some good background first
