I feel like it's so much easier dealing with jank in a game than scouring sites trying to curate the precise cocktail of mods to make a game 5% less jank

My drive to rush through a game and finish it just to say I did is never higher than when I'm playing a game that cost more than $50, sunk cost fallacy is a hell of a drug

Since getting this Switch 2 I've dumped way more time into Picross than I have in Bananza, and that's still kind of funny to me

New blog post: How to 1 Credit Clear (1CC) Arcade Games I get asked about this from time to time so I thought I'd write a post about it. There's nothing groundbreaking here, but hopefully it helps make arcade games feel a little less intimidating. They're just games! duckberet.com/blog/how-to-...

Sometimes I get this weird compulsion to 100% games in ways that were never meant to be 100%'d Like filling out the high score board until I knock out all the default scores, or in a racing game setting a time on every track with every car

EngineerKappa @engineerkappa.net · 11/09/2026

Something that really bothers me about remakes lately is that they're trying so hard to play off of your nostalgia for the original thing, but a lot of that nostalgia isn't rooted in the thing itself as much as where you were in life when you experienced it. Its not something you can just replicate

It's cursed having EoSD's FPS counter locked to 60 and not 62.50 FPS or something

EOSD New classic impressions: - spell card practice is in, I wanted this the most :) - New OST is fine but the originals still feel more iconic to me - Idk if its the hitboxes or a placebo but it feels easier to dodge having the game be HD? - New Translation feels weird being so used to the original

I feel like despite being a remake hater as of late I can't reeeeally bring myself to go full hater mode on this one. Like conceptually I'd rather they just not, but watched the direct mostly thinking "This Could've Been Worse"

Things I say sometimes "this game sucks": deep personal respect in spite (or because) of its many flaws "It looks fiiiiiine": Painfully mediocre and I detest the work and everything it stands for, but I'm trying to be polite

A fun thing about modding games is realizing when the original artist didn't bother with something, so you don't have to either

I don't think I've ever been excited to fill out a skill tree or craft things in an action game, just a begrudging "yea i guess we're doing that now"

Vibecoded slop aside, I think I'm getting a little bored of ports that get the code running on the destination hardware, but make no attempt to make it look good or even play well on that platform.

Sure I like prototypes that show all the weird alternate universe "what if"s, but I just as much enjoy seeing the stuff they cut because it did just suck. Hearing rumors for years about things they cut because it sucked, someone discovering a build with those things, and yes indeed, it did suck.

"You don't have to come up with a reason to not like something" feels like good advice a lot of the time, but I WANT to know why I don't like something Even if I feel like I'm grasping at straws sometimes trying to figure out why something that Should appeal to me absolutely doesn't

One of the trickiest parts of balancing bosses for any game with an upgrade system is trying to find a balance between it being feasible with as little upgrades as possible, without being too easy if you're maxed out

Getting evil and twisted ideas like "There's no reason we cant finish BUDD this year" (content-wise, still a lot of testing, revision, and other boring bells and whistles required)

Protip: if you're applying scaling or rotation to a sprite in your game, do NOT dither it You should expect those 1px details to get aliased away
