Honestly I apologize that a lot of my posts of late are just hot-take dunks on children's videogames. Not that I rescind anything I've said lmao. Mostly just wish I had more to talk about and share- I'm just so deep In a hole working hard on something that consumes almost 100% of my creative energy.

Honestly there are a lot of things that in motion I do like. Looks like it may feel good to -play-. I wish it was MORE committed to being different. So much is the same that we're left having to compare, which does both a disservice. Being so non-transformative will muddy the waters of OoT's legacy.

It's incredible how much they captured the drama and energy always intended in the original vision! It's so much like the concept art! The posing, expressions, lighting, camera work. Wow, it's pitch perfect! I can't wait!!!

Somehow even though they showed almost nothing, the Zelda thing was somehow all red flags. Deku tree voiced by a 30 year old twitter VA pretending to be old? Check. Link's outfit covered in busy Hollywood fairy greebles? Check. Unnecessary melodrama framing? Check. It's gonna be soooooo ass.

Don't get me wrong, I still think this is the wrong direction for SF overall, and I have far more concerns beyond just how it LOOKS. But I'm really trying to be minimalistic / change as little as possible to show how easily you could make this at least -look- OK.

Slippy's more subtle. Nose is too bulbous, lips are too thick and mouth lacks shape, nostrils ill-defined, eye masses aren't confident, hands are too small. All the little things. Death by 1000 papercuts. I just don't know how things like this ship without someone fixing this stuff in paint overs.

IDK, I'm stupid but all I ask is that they put in that last 10% and give a shit. I need ya'll to understand it's not the inherent Idea of realism its the lack of care for proportion, shape, appeal, and character. These designs are garbage.

We need your help, Star Fox. Andross has hired this man.

New StarFox is heinous in more ways than I can really describe. We'll be referring to this as "StarFox '26" with the tonal disdain of "Sonic '06" before to long. Now I'm also concerned it may look that way because the movie is going to look like that, too.

That's what I'm talking about.

A slide that reads "Presenting games primarily as consumer products undermines arguments to preserve and make them accessible as an art form." from a MAGFest panel. That panel from the Dark Knight Returns where he breaks the gun also is on there.

Reminder that Lies of P is not just the ONLY non-FROM 'soulslike' that even gets close to earning that sloppy label - but is actually better than most of FROM's own offerings as well. Just played the DLC and the quality did not falter.

Having played more of the back half of SilkSong, I'd actually argue that ( beginning none withstanding ) SilkSong is an -easier- game than the first HK. Hornet has so many more defensive and offensive options available, I've been chewing through the late game bosses. + The map is easier to navigate.

To be clear if like, the tweaks as released were kind of where it stopped I would not really be up in arms, I'm just spooked about the pressure encouraging continued changes. Really really enjoying the game, still workin' on the alt ending so not done yet! Lot's of side stuff to do.

God fucking damnit they're already announcing balance tweaks to SilkSong, fuck right off I hate you whiners, this game's balance is so engaging. I hate this modern discourse of complain bombing games you feel entitled to playing and undermining the confidence of the developer's original intent.

Standalone plastic containers of grocery store candy are like, the fountain drinks of candy. Somehow it's just crispier and more satisfying than from a package.

Dogmatic politeness is how people fail upward beyond their competency. At some point, someone has to have the nads to say "actually you're not good / competent / smart / talented / skilled / tactful / ethical enough to be in your role" Being to nice has consequences.

Dude I got this great Idea for the thumbnail of my next Youtube video- So Mario right? What if he like, frowned? Yknow. Like Mario is SAD! It'd be really standout and memorable because Mario never does that. Like imagine it, Mario with a frown, maybe even crying. That'd be crazy- he's always happy y

I did enjoy Bananza quite a bit- But I do take issue with a number of it's design choices. Also Pauline ruins the vibe of the game so much. Took so much of the wind out of my sails.

It is absolutely wild that Unity's shader graph still doesn't support stencils. It's an extremely simple feature / implementation that would likely take a Unity engineer an hour or two to add, and people have been asking for it for like 8 years.

Wild they shipped Nightreign in this state, or maybe it's worth blaming Nvidia? Not sure. But it's worth noting that rolling back to drivers from october 2024 resolved all issues and the game runs perfectly for me now.

Really enjoyed my time with Look Outside. ( new Devolver published RPG ) I think it's really well written and kind of overwhelmingly bursting with random and optional content, almost no two people will have quite the same playthrough. Looking forward to watching someone else play it, now.

Bravely Default rules in about equal parts that it sucks ass. Played it years ago and have equal parts fond and bad memories of it- And was like "I never want to play something like this again", so never played the sequels.
