No amount of difficulty discourse or bullshit maniac game design will make me hate Silksong

I am in disbelief. Binding of Isaac is getting item descriptions.

“That man shot Charlie Kirk.”

“(Sniff) I know.”

Life can change in an instant

I love how when we first meet Sojo, he’s Chihiro’s greatest enemy and an extremely dangerous man. Then we get flashback content and the guy is just a big nerd for swords as an art who happens to not mind being a killer.

The only reason I go to twitter is for exactly three reasons: Japanese artists, real world absurdist comedy, or, and I can’t stress this enough, to actually get mad on purpose.

Me trying to sleep and the JSDF is fighting some fuck all screaming geometry at 1am in the morning.

Even the pet cemetery voted for Bob!

silksong has anti-homeless architecture they somehow found a way to make a doomed dark souls-esque world even shittier

Catholicism is at its best when it's a little Shinto. Come pray to the local unrecognized saint for some favors his spirit inhabits a magic well on a hillside next to a tiny thousand year old church

Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).

Go ahead and try debuffing me. I dare you.

It’s crazy to me some people praised it, am I playing the same game?

Every boss fight is so zoomed out, how am I supposed to react to telegraphed attacks? And other action games just give you defensive options but LSA is limited by stamina? Lack of hit stop between sword and claymore is criminal.

If a game as produced as Devil May Cry 5 is fried rice, lovingly cooked with a variety of carefully chosen ingredients, then the Lost Souls Arise demo was white rice I took out of the fridge and didn’t microwave long enough but I add some dinosaur chicken nuggets as protein.

When I boot up Silksong I won’t go in expecting it to blow my nuts off. When something cool happens, I’ll just think 3 Australians decided they needed 7 years to do it and keep playing.

RFK saying he doesn’t know how many Americans died from Covid has the same energy as a parent grilling their child how many cookies are left when there was clearly more before

My friend didn’t know Meimei from JJK was a groomer from a comedy art and I had the unfortunate job of telling her “It gets worse…”

Get pushed into a pile of wood chips or watch that Anime Men video that puts Fairy Tail and Frieren in the same tier

I finally opened Bluesky after getting emotionally drained by the current discourse over some gen Z anituber with such thoroughly disappointing taste that I absolutely need a mental break. Seriously, I might start writing again to offset that digital footprint.

Nagi from Ruri Rocks teaches us about rocks.

Rocks

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

Being caught up with Deltarune means there’s nothing left but to subject myself to the abject horror that is plot theory discussion because the only other route is insufferable sexy tumblr art.

overdressed gf vs underdressed gf

@talkingorange.bsky.social just thought I’d drop a tidbit after the last Rebel FM show: people who peered into the Guilty Gear leak found a loadbearing Goku; his fighter sprite is in the game for some reason but even stranger the game breaks if you attempt to remove him

me: technically baseball is parryslop

my dad: i’m gonna assume grandchildren aren’t in the picture near term then

I don’t know if there’s any greater correlation between Golden Week and gold bikinis, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
