Brain Lords episode 29 - What is the gamer aesthetic ft Jiikae

This week on Brain Lords we attempt to solve the origins of the khaki shorts/green Zelda shirt combo. Special guest @jiikae.com helps us understand what game characters are so hot but gamers are all to often so not!

I just referenced the sprite sheet of all his different faces the other day. Legit love that game.

Well wouldn't you know I have exactly two movies to recommend to you!

I watched them both back to back for the first time about two years ago blind and felt like I wasn't missing anything important! And these days I think AI controlled vehicles exploiting the working class and outsourced proxy wars are maybe some of the most important things to be discussing.

(praise)

Patlabor 1&2 don't require any knowledge of the Manga or Anime.

The themes are excruciatingly poignant these days, there are scenes where nothing ultimately happens that are some of the most suspenseful I've ever seen. They are personality defining and way too overlooked of filmed.

Remember Fortnite? The wave defense game that famously was immediately successful and did t have to pivot and steal ideas until it landed on success?

Thought this was a Boondocks character for a second.

The worst you can do to me is force me to make a tangental topic, research it for a week or two, and make me talk around it for 2-3 hours.

Is it over the top? Yeah you're right. TMNT is a very on the nose set and people probably feel like the only proven thing to reach corporations is to make it so incredibly toxic it actually moves the needle. The MtG community thrives on content, rarely are it's reps even researching beyond hearsay.

Everything to a degree is a performance but having a novel at best, middling at worst set post the highs and lows of Avatar to Spiderman is making people lash out. And what else can you do? The product will still make money, voting with your wallet and taking a survey doesn't ever feel listened to.

68 and sunny over here, took a nice walk earlier and I'll probably do another before dinner.

Doing literally the opposite, got a good romhack to play on my retroid and it's been really nice to have my little game to play after dinner.

My first ever zbrush sculpt from about 9 years ago, an ode to my love of the original, fat, Pikachu. Never sold any, so I ended up just giving them away. I ought to do one in shades of GB green.

I often think about the uncomfortable closeness of numbers go up game design and the Machine Zone.

I actually co-run an essay style podcast and one of our earliest episodes spent compared Flow In Games to gambling. We'd love to have you on for a topic you specialize in! youtu.be/vpUOaq913ng?...

I made a podcast episode renaming game genres and we determined that newer roguelikes ought to just use the term "Loop game" while more traditional games like Rogue ought o be called "Mystery Dungeon games".

I've always wondered, what are the physical limits of a maximum deck size? Like math-wise if you took an everage of ever print run and bought up every single card how many cards could you put in your deck and how much space would that take up?

Happy 40th Anniversary, Zelda!

I've forgotten how many LoZ related pieces I've done over the years so it's been nice to revisit how far I've come since making Majora's Mask over 10 years ago.

I'm hyperventilating at the price tag.

My NieR oc is 3M who sands things and glues them together. Yes the goth boob window is OSHA approved.

I'm of two minds, certainly its leagues better than Spiderman, the art is often very evocative and cute, there are some cards I want to play with . But I'm also ultra fatigued of how many legends/duplicate characters there are, especially on pauper cards. Like at least give me a Usagi Yojimbo!

Real Snow Crash heads love to 'poon. Repost of you love poon too.

If you can't handle me at my Quest 64 then you don't deserve me at my Mischief Makers.

I'm not following.

@shoebox.gg is hardly a month away! I (pictured right) will be there showing off Pauper and Dandan at the Carnival!

I've been humming "A Genderless Burger Experience" all week, I need to rewatch. The movie was fantastic.

I'm sure its only a matter of time. They did say that the excuse in bringing the wire cutters was 100% real.

It was incredible. I went to a screening with a Q&A with Matt and Jay and at present they legally COULD NOT answer how they did most of the biggest stunts.

I'd love to make a figurine of your creature one day.
