Today I am struggling with two conflicting ideas: 1. People are allergic to caring, and often meeting care with resistance, or even openly attack it. 2. Caring is a privilege that not everyone has the capacity for.

I don't think a single Nintendo brand 'remake' has been an improvement over the original, and I super mean that. every single attempt has been a step sideways, needlessly removing the intended friction of the game, and changing the intended art style so much that it is basically unrecognizable.

Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.

I add a goblin to this drawing every day until I don't feel like it: day 15
A drawing of a tall, sad goblin, wearing a tiny top hat and a buttoned shirt.
On his shoulders is a small goblin child with a single sharp tooth, pointing to the right as if they have seen something interesting.
In front of them is a pale green goblin with overalls and muscled arms, pulling a large rock with a red piece of rope.
On the rock stands a tiny goblin wearing a small piece of breastplate, which is still somehow oversized for the goblin, proudly lifting up a copper dagger that acts as a shortsword in the goblin's tiny hand.
Resting against the rock is a feminine goblin with brown curly hair and small sharp ears pointing directly upwards, wearing a red skirt and soft pink foot covers.
There's a red goblin peeking out of a hole in the ground between the pulling goblin and the skirt-wearing one. The red goblin is wearing a metal hat with a small lantern in it, and a shovel poking out of the hole beside them.
A turquoise-colored goblin with a a round red nose is emerging from behind the rock, holding a lit torch and wearing a loose leather torso cover and a brown leather cap.
A goblin wizard with long droopy ears and a large ringed nose is floating next to the tiny goblin's sword, enchanting it with cartoonish star visuals. The wizard is wearing a blue robe and hat, and is lifted by a magical swirl.
An orange goblin with a small trunk and bat ears is standing next to the one pulling the rock and resting its arm on him. It is wearing blue overalls and a pair of goggles, and holding a wrench in its other hand.
An olive-tinted goblin with a fez is emerging from behind the rock, resting his oddly shaped nose on the goblin with the torch and looking up at the sword being enchanted.
A lanky long-eared goblin is lying down with eyes closed, resting his sleepy head against the skirted goblin's arm. He wears a checkered shirt and shorts, and has a strand of wheat in his mouth. His hand is sunk into the red goblin's diggy hole.
(alt text continues in the next image)A small red goblin in a chef's hat and apron is sitting beside the skirt goblin, holding a sausage skewered on a stick against the torch held by the goblin behind the rock.
A bright green goblin with a purple mohawk is speeding on an improvised dirt bike, mouth open and tongue out, in front of the goblin with the wrench.
A goblin with a red beak-like nose and a large pointy hat is standing behind the rock-pulling goblin, looking to the right where the kid is pointing.
A mischievous little goblin with orange curly hair is crawling on the floor, inching a tack in front of the speeding bike.

A Caves of Qud remix of XKCD 231: Cat Proximity, showing a chart of “Intelligence” decreasing and “Inanity of Statements” increasing as “Human Proximity to Great Saltback” goes from “Far” to “Near”. Below the chart there is a stick figure approaching a great saltback, after which they say, “Your home is on your back, friend.”

last night I played the last session of Stonetop. My character became immortal and guards the forest, waiting for those who wish to learn the songs that help the trees grow. an ironic ending for my character that had spent a large portion of the game, throwing themselves into danger.

BTW, I think Hero's Adventure is the best starting point: store.steampowered.com/app/1948980/... Tale of Wuxia is also excellent, and it's a remake of a 2001 game called 武林群俠傳. Wandering Sword is great, but it's very linear. If you're ok with fan-translations, try Legend of Mortal & Ho Tu Lo Shu.

I really feel like a dungeon keeper game in the theme of backrooms could be really cool, but the catch is that rooms and portions of your 'dungeon' would deprecate over time, which is what you *want* because that's what facilitates certain sporadic architecture to bloom.

NEO Scavenger, the previous title, was the sort of game where every part of it was intricate, but once you learned enough about it you could absolutely make it dance. Ostranauts has been in development for at least as long, and if you're an imm sim person you should really check it out.
