every 3-4 years we come back to ludonarrative discourse because some people are embarrassed about liking games

its such an incoherent thing to me, its clearly something weird about me but they do not feel like finished video games and do not feel like a cohesive designed experience, it just feels like i'm hitting random layers of noise. I Wish I Could Get It.

i wish so many interesting games weren't trapped within roguelike mechanics

this new fangled music. its cute but it wont catch on as art. Chopin is making sound novels really.

Sitting here shaking my head like "if only me and those other 20 year olds yelled at Frank Lantz a little louder."

But more seriously: I think attempts to mystify "what games do" or what suggest what they "uniquely" offer is a trap. They *do* what all other art does. No more and no less, I think.

i wonder if people were like this when movies were young and they didnt want to look like a cringe baby watching "movies"

editor at a WaPo subsidiary, it all makes sense now

in general i think people who haven't played a visual novel or dating sim shouldn't be allowed to set boundaries on what games are art

don't know why, the medium is almost half a century old, you people need to get over ur high school bullying on god

a lot of it feels like a fear of engagement because games staying in their lane means they don't have to emotionally or otherwise engage with a game as a work that demands your respect and understanding

do people like this listen to themselves? is this what its like to construct your life around fear of judgement by joyless cultural gatekeeping?

Every time a game does something cool and interesting and engaging as storytelling its suddenly "not a game but a work of art". And if its compelling "well its not compelling as all the respectable art"

thinking about this again

i have seen that shit jammed in bushes. i need to understand.

i need to understand whats happening here, because never in my life time ive seen any other group of people have this much trouble reading "leave carts here" and being unable to notice the clear difference in shape of small and big carts.

ive been there, its a nightmare city, why would anyone willingly describe their city like this

i think i never Understood more than learning the guy who made Veronica Mars is from Yakima because that show is the most progressive conservative show on earth

Mostly college kids lol, some people rant about the gays when they were in wsu too, a lot of them will be casually weird and racist but also progressive at the same time and ask my pronouns. Washington truly is the home of all median voters

The i90 is the modern river styx and idaho might just be our own fire of hades. Also ive heard they have a pretty good fair ground.

Its described to me like the ruins of babylon were described within antiquity

sometimes you get two bars in the keep app where you get the standard base menu bar and a floating editing bar, which obscures about 15-30% of the screen depending on size.

its a really annoying design trend for google also but worse because theres no pretense of pretending its not an obtrusive waste of space that does nothing for aesthetics or readability

every day you are under threat of hearing an opinion on game design from someone who works with edmund mcmillen willingly
