Every time I go on my twitter FYP I see people complaining about IDW Sonic preview pages. Every person that hates the comic is a Sonic the Hedgehog Lore expert and feel like they're sidelining characters. The comic issue they're complaining about doesn't come out until tomorrow btw.

Deadlock is about to show the entire industry how you launch a video game. all you need is an infinite amount of time and money to beta test without ever making an announcement, one of the greatest auteurs in game design, and the largest distribution platform on the planet. anyone can do it

I don't think Pokemon *needs* voice acting. No RPGs should be viewed as "lesser" for not having something that can just as easily be detrimental to a game's quality, especially when some bring up some vague standard That said, they shouldn't have put this sequence in knowing it wasn't getting VAed

Digimon Beatbreak laying out my thoughts I realized i think this series has a *lot* of issues with its cast.. but it has a lot to love about itself, between its themes, fun characterization (when present) & plenty of great plots. i can't say i didn't have fun all the way through. GLITCH THE WORLD

Digimon Beatbreak
• Really enjoy the character designs. A friend saw Tomoro and said he looks like “the gayest zoomer ever”. He does. He wears crocs. It’s awesome. The various Digimon designs are all very distinct and fun, and their evolution lines each feel like they capitalize on their motifs in fun and varied ways, many of them carrying that great “chuunibyou-cool” element I personally associate with the franchise.
• I think its overall theme of the value of human individuality and emotion is a great one, and feels especially interesting in the context of the greater franchise; it feels born from the modern cynicism surrounding technology, and exists in sharp contrast to Digimon Adventure’s heavy internet optimism.
• There’s a lot of superb plots and ideas that play into this; some deeply memorable one-offs that genuinely would get me choked up, hyped, or have my jaw dropping. One thing that Beatbreak was not was boring! In particular the characterization for the rival group, Tactics, felt great and the way they each foil the main cast was neat (shoutouts to Luka). It ended up with some fun antagonist presences, too, beyond that; I thought Klay was excellently hateable, Miharu was interesting and sympathetic with a thematically resonant goal, and Souji was intimidating and made for a great antagonist to underpin Kyo’s story.
• The main cast have some solid base personalities and ideas behind them, too, and it’s a treat to see them all together. But unfortunately Makoto and Reina felt underwritten to me, feeling like their presence basically vanished unless an episode was explicitly focused on them (which was not often). This was in contrast to Tomoro, who got plenty of shine (if quite inconsistently), and in even sharper contrast to Kyo, whose portrayal, focus and character writing were excellent, but greatly overshadowed pretty much the whole cast for a time. It just didn’t feel right that after 49 episodes I could barely point to real character moments for Rein…

• The utilization of the characters as a whole, not just the heroes, just felt strange. The Tactics arc felt great, establishing a set of rivals and spending its time with a solid villain in Klay, one of the Five Stars. The GIFT arc then quickly introduces a new antag in place of the characters who seemed to have been previously established as potential antagonists, and then the Kyo arc following it does the same, having a new antagonist more-or-less come out of nowhere to sideline a character who we had known about since the beginning of the series but had barely gotten to see in action. Many characters feel written as if they’re meant to come back later, and almost all of them do, but essentially at the very end, in the last few episodes. I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that it was meant to be a longer series, or at the least, that it didn’t use its time well.
• The use of the Five Stars I guess is just especially glaring. Once Rose is focused on, she acts through her proxies, Brilliant Thorn, who both felt barely-characterized and ineffectual; then Rose herself is quickly shafted for a new villain. Honoka and Kaito are built up early in, then vanish for heavy stretches before appearing as footnotes in a final arc that couldn’t have less to do with them (because it’s about a new set of villains, who end up all sharing the same motivation!); Kaito has a very personal characterization tied to Kyo, which ends up feeling deeply underwhelming, because he comes right after Souji, who already had a very personal motivation tied to Kyo. It felt very unsatisfying and incomplete.
• Aside from character issues with their human partners, is it me or do Chiropmon/Pristimon and their evos basically never feel like they get to seem impressive or strong in fights?
• I ended with largely positive feelings, though, thanks to a pretty great, satisfying conclusion despite the breakneck pace, what I thought was a very appropriate final antagonist (if a bit sudden, somehow), and g…

I find it funny when people talk about how games are this art form that can make you feel emotions, but then you bring up something like wanting more games to have timers & people will say its bad design "because it makes me anxious" So emotions only allowed through story, not gameplay. Got it lol.

Is it wrong of me to say that the proliferation of "every RPG must have a story" led to the diminishing returns and bloat in the modern AAA and even indie gaming space, while those with little plot made today somehow have more to say, or is that my Retro Boomer mindset taking over

The whiplash of going from an old game that has a slight progression/upgrade system in what is largely an action game that isn’t intrusive all that much (mega man zero having lite rpg shit) vs what the modern AAA game does in that department like Onimusha where it’s bloated as fuck is crazy

a late one for you tonight... monkey ball is one of the most elegantly designed precision arcade games ever made, a game that takes a design staff primed on racers and lets them create economic geometry puzzles, only building towards alien grandeur in their structures at the end. link below!

first few paragraphs: Sega was the master of exaggerated, nuanced physics engines, and Monkey Ball fits that mold to a T. There’s three stylistic inaccuracies that sew Monkey Ball’s unique physics together:

Friction is present as a constant inhibiting force, but in a sense this helps hold the monkey on downward slopes. This gives Monkey Ball a “sticky” quality.

Collisions can and often do pop the monkey up in the air, where speed is uncapped. This, and the fact that the collisions seem relatively elastic,1 make collisions actually a boon for gaining speed rather than a total obstacle.

It’s a common misconception that Monkey Ball has the player control the tilt of the stage, letting the monkey freely roll throughout it. Instead, the player is actually controlling the direction of gravity, offering very similar effects to stage-tilting while also providing essential air control to the monkey.

The three of these combined make Monkey Ball an intuitive, forgiving engine that encourages aggressive play.2 Speed gains are always at the player’s fingertips and rely heavily on environmental awareness. With that intrinsic concentration in the engine, the stage design can then follow suit. Monkey Ball’s stages are focused and brief; many stages have a max time limit of only 30 seconds, intend for you to beat them in less than half of that, and have a theoretical lower bound of only a couple seconds. While the stages are static and encourage memorization, the short length and nuanced physics put the micro-movements front-and-center in comparison to broader routing, and this creates its own form of complexity-oriented dynamism for those who can’t memorize frame-perfect input strings.
