genuinely hard to overstate how badly it’s damaged the whole retro scene’s vibe. everyone’s completely suspicious of everything now. the mood is rancid

Is it that strange? I feel like I was the only one on earth who didn’t know Johnny did both and got caught with a real shocker when I first booted up P4 Arena

must be demoralizing to spend all that time on on all those big graphics just to get demolished by the friend game about nootnoot pikmin

they used to ease you in way back! and there was just generally a lot less to juggle. now every one of these assumes you’ve been slowly boiled in the mmo pot for ten years. wonder if it’s the same for gacha

I got an interesting dose of reality when my partner tried ffxiv with me and the ui absolutely overwhelmed her even at level 1. like oh hey I sure have spent a long time learning a very specific skill on how to filter a lot specific info. but also I’ll die forever before learning it for gacha

Immediately thought of this but I’m not sure it counts

We’ll see who’s calling remakes cynical after we’ve made sure every game has the microwave corridor

In early access he laughed and refused to let you pause until you unlocked an upgrade and I wish they’d commit to that. he was SO indignant the first time your pause worked

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
From the article: 
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."

Had so much fun with a quad arms and axes build built off a marauder, it’s just a little fragile up front. but once it gets rolling you’re doing tons of attacks and limbs are flying everywhere. my longest run ended when a jerk somehow reflected my attacks back and I chopped my own head off

it might be for the best, those 5-10 years when their 2D art team was operating on levels previously only believed theoretical have indelibly changed me in ways I’ll never fully understand

It’s been tough for everyone out there 24 years ahead of the curve on Dragon Quarter but I think the people might finally be ready

Her: when’s the last time you cried? Me, tearing up remembering the day I found out a bunch of west coast friends had never heard of pierogi: that night we watched Look Back

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling? Watch til the end for a post-credits sting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

Can't believe Necrosoft put me in Demonschool
a Demonschool NPC named "Hole Enthusiast" saying "Still thinking about it."

My grand master weapon smith was bitten by a vampire, so I locked her up in a little tower outside the fort. While my dwarves were busy dealing with an invasion from the caverns below, she somehow exploded so hard that a ring of fire burned down the surface of the earth
