i think genuinely my favorite new piece of media i got into this year #umiharakawase

Illustrations of the character Umihara Kawase from the serues of the same name. The top left illustration depicting her in a baggy sweater with a somewhat stern look at the viewer, the fish viewable from the game's Game Over screen beside her. Below that is an illustration of Kawase on a beach, in a one-piece swimsuit, holding up a peace sign and winking at the viewer. Beside both is a full-body illustration of Kawase from the side, wearing the sweater over her swimsuit, wearing her pink backpack and some matching pink crocs.

'storytelling medium' is a normative term that reduces any art form to a mere vector for implicit true art of writing a good plot

while obviously its late in being organized and should have begun the moment No Mercy was in the crosshairs, its worth noting that the beginnings of the anti-censorship backlash are here. this is part of the main trend of Trump's second term: creating enemies where none existed before

Forced memo traps are good cuz they require players to get over their overinflated ego and just deal with the game's whims for a bit

New Blog Post: Why I Love Unfair Traps in Arcade Games People usually dislike hard memo traps in arcade games, or at best think they're "not that bad". I love them, though, and I think arcade games would be worse without them. Here's why: duckberet.com/blog/i-like-... (game: Violent Storm)

Cream & Blaze comic

Panel 1: Cream has a big tray of hot baked brownies that he's holding up to Blaze, she says, "blaze-san! ❤︎ let's split these edibles together~!". Blaze looks away while grasping her own shoulder shyly "i d-don't know cream, aren't you like 5 or something"

Panel 2: POV from behind Blaze, Cream has her hand on Blaze's shoulder with an innocent big sparkly look to her eyes. "it's no longer 2003. i'm 6, now. don't be a narc." Blaze answers "a-alright then"

Panel 3: Blaze and Cream are sitting on a couch. Blaze is sitting politely on the couch, munching on a brownie bite, holding the rest of the brownie on her hand, she's looking at it worried. Cream is holding a huge stack of brownies. From behind the couch, Silver pops up with a concerned smile: "hey everyone!!!!!!! t-that's a lot of brownies...! i guess i'll have some...!" Cream looks up at Silver replying "hi silver!!!! no you won't :) you're tripsitting"

Panel 4: Blaze's having a bad high. Her eyes are cloudy and irritated, she holds her head like she's having a headache and she has a slouched posture. Tiny hallucinations of Marine the Raccoon are circling around her head saying "werent we gonna get high together?" and "you promised!". Cream is also high but in high spirits, holding a copy of the movie Possession (1981, dir. Andrzej Żuławski) up to Blaze. Blaze says: "i... i think i gotta be alone for a minute...", Cream replies: "nuh-uh, we're watching possession i love that movie". Silver is on the other side of the panel looking at Blaze across from Cream, shrugging his shoulders with his hands up in the air with a concerned expression.

Panel 5: The three of them are sitting in a couch watching the movie. Blaze has a horrified expression with her mouth agape. Cream is sinking into the couch with her eyes half-lid and a small smile, ears drooping in front of her but not obstructing her vision. She has a bong next to her. Silver is crying behind the couch, hands on his face, tears and fluids dripping between his fingers and exploding out of the sides of his hands.

‘Here’s my epic grid of my favourite games:” and there’s just like multiple pieces of art from a whole ass different medium of interactive art in the grid just because those pieces of software contain mediums of art the person actually respects.

To be a hardcore retro video game collector you must have a fuckton of money and also no taste in decor at all. In fact your taste begins with lightstrips and ends with a giant backlit box that says GAMECUBE on it

a late one for you tonight... monkey ball is one of the most elegantly designed precision arcade games ever made, a game that takes a design staff primed on racers and lets them create economic geometry puzzles, only building towards alien grandeur in their structures at the end. link below!

first few paragraphs: Sega was the master of exaggerated, nuanced physics engines, and Monkey Ball fits that mold to a T. There’s three stylistic inaccuracies that sew Monkey Ball’s unique physics together:

Friction is present as a constant inhibiting force, but in a sense this helps hold the monkey on downward slopes. This gives Monkey Ball a “sticky” quality.

Collisions can and often do pop the monkey up in the air, where speed is uncapped. This, and the fact that the collisions seem relatively elastic,1 make collisions actually a boon for gaining speed rather than a total obstacle.

It’s a common misconception that Monkey Ball has the player control the tilt of the stage, letting the monkey freely roll throughout it. Instead, the player is actually controlling the direction of gravity, offering very similar effects to stage-tilting while also providing essential air control to the monkey.

The three of these combined make Monkey Ball an intuitive, forgiving engine that encourages aggressive play.2 Speed gains are always at the player’s fingertips and rely heavily on environmental awareness. With that intrinsic concentration in the engine, the stage design can then follow suit. Monkey Ball’s stages are focused and brief; many stages have a max time limit of only 30 seconds, intend for you to beat them in less than half of that, and have a theoretical lower bound of only a couple seconds. While the stages are static and encourage memorization, the short length and nuanced physics put the micro-movements front-and-center in comparison to broader routing, and this creates its own form of complexity-oriented dynamism for those who can’t memorize frame-perfect input strings.
