"I'm not their fan, I'm a fan of their work" as some type of preemptive "what if they're a bad person" defense is soulless. I want to believe in people.

What I'm trying to say is that Ys 8's writing is boring

I get hung up on this. Reflecting on material/opinions is the most important part of being human. But reflecting on inhuman material and letting it vampire your time is a huge mistake.

In the era of slop, quickly identifying if some writing is worth your time is valuable.

really solid perspective. ichiban's story is a mess where he gets people killed through Living By His Code and doesn't reflect on it. kiryu's nostalgia quest was fun, but not knowing what old characters are up to lets the mind wander. now that's mostly gone. weird entry.

nintendo's most annoying crime might be making developers spend 6 years hand-coding binary to get tears of the kingdom to run on a kindle tablet. american studios get reports of crunch and overwork all the time, but I haven't seen similar journalism about nintendo's practices

For the Xbox platform division, hitting 30% profit margins has required a drastic rethink. For individual games, it's not a completely unrealistic target... except they're all released day-one on Xbox Game Pass, cannibalizing sales.

despite everything, it is still all about having fun on the computer

SHADOW GENERATIONS (2024)

I don't care if you fear demonetization; if you say "Unalived" or "pdf file" I'm not taking you seriously. If you're too chickenshit to use real words you're too chickenshit to take the subject matter seriously and need to find something else to talk about.

2022

a lot of youtube personalities want to be perpetual whimsy machines, but anger is an important part of whimsy. the whimsy must be principled

the key to happy console gamer's success is that he brings a feeling of energetic whimsy to the world but also the feeling that he can kick your ass if you act up

"zelda is proof the switch hardware is good and ___ developers are lazy" no sir, on the day of judgment both you and nintendo will stand trial for encouraging the dev's use of blood sacrifices and dark magic to get totk to run

Just confirmed the Higurashi translation is bad and fighting the urge to get side tracked at how much the tone is dampened

to keep it short, i kept thinking "the game will be incredible in 1 more hour" for over 100 hours.

it's a good soundtrack, but idk how you make games this grandiose where characters do not become interesting

xenoblade chronicles

Akasaka going full Battler in episode 4 at the exact moment I recognize Daisuke Ono's voice.... There is beauty in this world...

the ffxv-ification of final fantasy is here

Those first few episodes are incredible

LOOK AT HOW BIG MY FOREST IS

you can never experience it for the fourth time a second time

i need a yakuza zero

where have all the good games gone and where are all the gods

Americans need bread and circuses, so it's interesting that Big Brands can sell enough circuses to fill an emotional need and then trigger this sort of public faith deconstruction with the brand

the rhetoric of swin2ndo buyers yelling at dying die-hard fans for complaining every day is analogous to christians yelling at former christians for posting their thoughts on the internet
