lancer charmancer @chandelierius.bsky.social · 20/09/2026helps that “[so] this…” is set up for literally anything u could ever say so u can just pivot on a dime if u planned a normal sentence. “so this… (about to comment on my wife’s flat tire she got yesterday) is what it means to kill a bear.” 010 0

lancer charmancer @chandelierius.bsky.social · 15/09/2026one of my biggest criticisms of these games post. i guess literally the first game. is how often an NPC leaps in front of your path to dole out a mandatory 10 min tutorial on a side mode/minigame but. y’know.

lancer charmancer @chandelierius.bsky.social · 13/09/2026from the perspective of a game where you’re expected to play over and over for a faster time, get the routing down to a science, makes sense the punishment for sloppy play is. an excessive time penalty! 040 0
lancer charmancer @chandelierius.bsky.social · 13/09/2026i understand it’s more about the act of losing momentum that’s the issue for most people, but the actual grind in Metroid (1986) when you die is, like, a few minutes. and that’s if you wanna get back to full every time :P 140 0

lancer charmancer @chandelierius.bsky.social · 11/09/2026makes sense that the stuff that gets fp'd are the lists with games that most people have played on em but still pretty silly. one list titled "GAMES WITH THE MOST AURA PROTAGS" another "TOP 25 GAMES" another "BEST BOXART" and "FAV PS VITA" and all of em Hollow Knight, MGS3, P5, Bloodborne, RGG0.. 140 0

lancer charmancer @chandelierius.bsky.social · 09/09/2026would YOU rather someone say about YOUR ART “i think the work you made is the genuinely the most abysmal piece of dogshit i’ve ever experienced so much so that its very existence astounds me” or “i think your work looks similar to AI, even knowing that it is literally not generated by AI” 120 0
lancer charmancer @chandelierius.bsky.social · 09/09/2026LAST POST but i think it’s telling that, in reply to this, whenever someone wants to argue that they’d rather someone criticize their art than compare it to AI they have to make up a kinder/tough-but-fair-because-ultimately-it’s-taste opinion instead of engaging with the actual question i’m asking. 320 0
