Yama

Ahhh these are adorable

When big guys do the thing

It’s rly hot to imagine Yama being just like a different class of man, so huge that he can’t stop turning heads and stealing hearts even if he wanted to. 7 ft tall and like halfway to a 1000 lbs of pure muscle

But also he’s just a dumb jock puppy. He doesn’t even understand why ppl act like that.

Mr Dog from Snowboard Kids. That is the post.

Out and about

Wolfdad fell asleep on the couch watching the history channel again 😒

I just discovered that Shinji Mikami worked on Goof Troop for SNES omg. One of my fav snes co op games. Check out this boss battle theme too:

I think about it a lot too just because of how big the fandom has grown over time. Things used to feel smaller so you were always in contact with the niche, and could recognize individuals working in them. And now it just gets harder to do, things get turned into standardized merch, etc.

I _want_ a lot of people to enjoy my work, despite knowing I work in a niche. I want to have my cake and eat it too. I want to make the hard to digest digestible. The stuff I like the most isn't completely esoteric, but it demands something of you. I wanna work in that space.

And of course it's _nice_ to say "everyone's invited" or "everyone should be able to enjoy" etc. etc. It's a pleasantry that won't make anyone upset because it also favors the masses. But specificity/authenticity dies here. I can see how being exclusionary can be harmful too tho, so Idk. conflicted

I think most everyone understands this in the way popular media has matured. The folks making the most money are casting the largest net. Saying absolutely nothing in a way that does seem meaningful because of how they're saying it. And Idk. It just makes me sad how everything is made for everyone.

If something says something 100% of the population agrees with, is it even really saying anything? If it's polarizing, you turn people away but the folks who remain suddenly have identity. The specificity calls to them and only them. So in the business of commercial art, you can see the dilemma

There's a weird axis of accessibility and expression in media that I can't really square away. Like the more accessible something is, the easier for it to garner more attention because it's digestible, but the less you're able to meaningfully express. The more specific, the harder something can hit.

I like it! My first puyo puyo was puyo puyo fever, and I think that mode is interesting. I'm not so hardcore that I'm a super purist on how it should be played, so its fun to try the modes that aren't too partygamey and still feel balanced. I just think 2 is balanced really well.

I mostly stick to the stair stack at the beginning, and then once things get a bit more chaotic, I switch to sandwiching. But yeah I’m not great at it either lol

I have not, I was put off by the kinda overly animated particles and effects that imo make it hard to see what’s going on, but that was only early footage of the game. Idk if they toned it down for the final release

Games where you have to make quick decisions under pressure to save yourself are so fun for me. It’s really thrilling and satisfying when you pull it off!!

Puyo puyo 2 is probably THE best designed puzzle battle game ever. There’s so much good push and pull between setting yourself up and also trying not to get slammed with garbage. You actually need to pay attention to your opponent too.

Had a nice interaction and some small talk with a cashier at Safeway and lowkey brightened up my whole day. We talked about waffles 🤷‍♂️

Ya 😒

My dog is such an asshole most of the time, never behaving, lashes out when we need him to move, doesn’t like to cuddle… but when I have a treat in my hand? Absolute angel. Listens to everything I say. Follows me around like when he was a puppy 😒 no loyalty to me, just treats

You know it’s a good upper chest pump when your stringer pulls away from your traps from the tension

There are BOSS BATTLES and they’re actually challenging and fun. And customizing/upgrading your board actually DID stuff. If you ever wanted a racing game with emphasis on the GAME part, try it out. Just a rly fun 1P experience if you didn’t have someone to race with

Hell yea dude

Yall should play snowboard kids

SCV good to go sir!

Poor maintenance man comes back to a station overrun with insectoid creatures

Yeah! It’s an array of classes that has a slot for names, sprites, and text. And I put them in a queue and spit them out when you go thru the dialogue.

I like writing stupid dialogue for my stupid game
