well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 04/10/2026thinking about exactly what it is that indie computer shmups (e.g. zeroranger, hellsinker, touhou) are trying to convey that makes the far wider mistake budget make sense for them, in contrast to arcade shmups where essentially near-perfection is expected 100

well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 03/10/2026i have to face the fact that the atlantis no nazo i was playing was far better than the game atlantis no nazo actually is. i got to the end and picked up the jewel and i honetsly feel like i've been spat on. all that time without the star and it just gives you a level that essentially requires it 130
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 03/10/2026the xenogears intro cinematic + exposition absolutely blew my socks off at a time when I was like "well, time for me to launch a game I haven't tried yet when my hands can't handle anything intensive" so idk when I'm gonna get thru it exactly but holy shit I am hooked 030
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 03/10/2026i decided to set a savestate on r-type so that i can start at the part where the level design is actually meaningfully dense and punishing and my enjoyment of the game has instantly skyrocketed starting from there 120
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026you know. we have a world where ex-cops are able to talk about what they did, and why they regret it, and be accepted into leftist circles. but we don't have that for sexual assailants. would it not help everyone if we could accept those perspectives? 030
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026to be honest, i don't really trust people who carelessly use terms like "rapist", "predator", "sex pest", "abuser". sexual violence is not o totally unlike other forms of violence as people seem to treat it. we've all been hurt. we move on. 160
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026idk whats going on with that new castlevania im playing NES castlevania and my retro gaming friends are showing me all the skips and subweapon routes. all is good in the world over here 020
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 02/10/2026it seems that a focus on assisting one another with a holistic approach towards healing and growth, and being gentle to oneself, is becoming central to my politics lately... hopefully we can structure our intersubjective ecologies in such a way where kinder memes find fitness more regularly. 120

well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 01/10/2026it's kind of difficult having such a fundamentally skewed view of what "reality" is that trying to convey it just gets you running into the walls of the normative conceptions, rather than having any idea how to make progress being understood. 140
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026the moral of the story is that i need to put 500 hours into hellsinker and report my findings 110
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026when zr does Blow Up (more than just the strong cult following it has now) i hope the inevitable "zerocore" games that fixate upon the "there is a melee weapon" aspect focus on doing interesting things with the bullet stalls, and explore polymorphism in the melees - gimme a bardiche in a shmup 110
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026my spatial intuition and restraint are 1-2 standard deviations to the left of the average arcade gamer, but it won't stop me from getting some clears sometime. working with my difficulties with spatial management + honing the edge of my love of aggressive play is really compelling to me. 120
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 30/09/2026what if I get my friends to drop me a ds1 save that's just before ornstein and smough, see how compelling they are, and decide if I wanna play any more dark souls from that 210
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 29/09/2026there are two kinds of "open world" games: those that develop a relational skeleton alongside the gameplay sections, and those that develop level design atop a spatial plane. tentatively i'd call the former "structured world", the latter being more modern idea of "open world" 120
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 28/09/2026i woke up today and knocked Armorer Dennis off a cliff on the second try. they really put this fuckass enemy in an area where you can just knock him off a cliff before you learn him huh 010
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 28/09/2026this morning when i mentioned to my friend i was playing ds2 as my first fromsoft game it said "please tell me you're not on scholar" and i go "well it was on sale and i was told to play that one". i didnt know armorer dennis wasnt a real person... i was so frustrated with this scummy pker... 010
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 28/09/2026pkers are the most annoying type of player, doesnt matter the game 010
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 27/09/2026also whichever fromsoft game first included the multiplayer features (specifically the messages and bloodstains) was the actual first stranding type game 040
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 27/09/2026i feel like more often than not aspects of games that initially annoy you or rub you wrong end up being things you come to appreciate about them 040

well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 27/09/2026note also that my complaints about being bad at games are really about me (feeling that i am) bad at everything (and struggling with comparing myself) and just being especially enmeshed in game spaces lately and as a result i have accrued a lot of friends who are extremely good at games lol 030
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 26/09/2026i wish it wasn't true that i somehow manage to be worse at games than everyone else, and persistently terrible at improving too. i always feel so out of place talking to people who are super into games and good at them and meanwhile i can only really excel at the 3 things i've fixated on 230
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 25/09/2026i think it is very important to be sure you're not overidentifying with victimhood. things suck and people dismiss us but when there's a narrative going around that almost unilaterally diminishes your own capability as a body and a self you need to learn to at minimum regard it flexibly 130
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 22/09/2026ok sayonara lara sounds good. more "unidentified enormous emotion" and less "love"/"romance" in yuri is always a good thing. 010

well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 20/09/2026in the past i would always feel anxious about an old special interest starting to slip away but with realizing my interest in zr has changed i feel like it's just a sign of growth and my own world becoming large enough that zeroranger takes up less of it 051
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 19/09/2026i suspect i am far too good at zeroranger to be able to clearly evaluate it on most levels anymore 010
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 19/09/2026i had a shot at a type c run, first full one in over a year, and it almost got 1.1mil which would have been a new pb (died on despair cus i didnt know how to do orbs tho). i might try to get a decent performance on this fighter, it's a really nice change what's been my main for forever... 130

well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 17/09/2026the idea that a good chunk of my chronic illness issues are a physical consequence of stress-producing feedback loops is, a lot more appealing to me than the alternative of "at any time by doing things just a little wrong you can get irreversibly worse" 150
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 16/09/2026oh yeah i guess im moving from just casually being like yeah i have something vaguely in the general area of long covid, to straight up identifying with ME. i might as well take that step before i become so fatigued that even sitting up to eat is too much 040
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 16/09/2026the problem with medical science is so much of the areas that are the most potentially helpful are also the most complex and ambiguous to the point where they are practically mystical in nature and it ends up becoming 50/50 whether any given take on a thing is reliable or even potentially deceptive 140
well, it's drifting so. @eveningsundog.bsky.social · 16/09/2026but also it could just be like, a gut biome thing becuase my insides seem displeased after i eat and i could definitely see that affecting my appetite and therefore my taste. i am probably at the point where i need to see a doctor about it lol 240
