Often times its because a big person retweeted it so all their followers like and retweet and never bother to click on the tweet itself.

Its just such a pathetic thing to do really lol.

I love when someone does a viral tweet and they have a response that goes "Wow this sure blew up, check by main page for more stuff and support my pateron!" and it has a fraction of a percent of the engagement that the viral one does because people just like and move on

The Kofo-Jaga has legs, it always had legs, it was an error in the instructions uploaded to lego's website that omitted this page, please on #bioday do not allow the spread of misinformation.

It was a comic shown off in the bionicle day stream, just not something I really was anticipating to see

Thank you bionicle day for the explicit depictions of a man flaying his own son.

Needed that today.

Yes, as with anything it can be done poorly, and be more obnoxious than anything, but just blanket saying that lives are something that don't serve a purpose now that games aren't in arcades and are trying to get money out of kids is just a wrongheaded argument imo

04.08.2025 22:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Playing a level so many times that you know where all the enemies and items are, having to know little tricks, rushing back to a save point at the earliest opportunity, grinding for lives and stuff, I think that all really makes a game leave much more of an impression.

04.08.2025 22:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

but I think that line of thinking leads to games that are too smooth and polished and they just don't stick with you, you play through them once, its a mostly unobstructive affair, and then you never really go back to it.

04.08.2025 22:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

and then the sense of relief when you finally get it. More modern games really do miss out on that.

There's this line of thought in game design circles that any so called "quit points" or parts where the player may be frustrated and leave are to be avoided,

Yeah yeah lives are an outdated game mechanic blah blah blah but you really lose out on a lot of tension, as you're getting closer to a hard save but your lives are running low and the more progress you make is more stuff you have to redo if you don't make it,

I hate it when things move out of phase so you have to wait an arbitrary amount of time for them to briefly sync up

Hello,

Do you or anyone you know possess the "Pens of Lewa and Onua" ?
If so, contact me as I wish to change that, so that you don't possess them and instead I do, and you or them can have an amount of human currency in the local denomination of your choosing , or other things, such as h

same goes for when they feel the need to define a word.

Donkey Kong Country 1 is hard, but I am enjoying it quite a bit.
These two bgs are quite pretty.
Also really liking the lighting effects they do on the sprites.
