Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 9hfirst sentence of the wikipedia page for the song take me out to the ball game is them outing the writers as larpers 020
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 19hthough i will say a snarky gut-reaction joke i was gonna post about these revelations was "yea ofc the 'plagiarism machine' will be used for plagiarism" but it felt weird calling reverse engineering mere plagiarism. can't put my finger on why but maybe a hypothetical 4-criteria dev could 020
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 19hin that case then yea i can't really argue. i definitely don't meet all 4 criteria, and if i did and wasn't super passionate about the project i admittedly would likely fall back to using an llm too (though at least read the room enough to not post a claudespeak blog about doing that 🥴) 120
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026after all if ai models can output a result of similar quality and there's no product decisions to be made because those were made by game devs years ago then why even coordinate with others and ask for their help anymore? you can see how this mentality can stilt the growth of these communities 120
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026most of the lament i'm seeing isn't about the quality of the end result (besides from the really misinformed) but instead about the human community (something more tangible than just sovl) being put under threat and classic games being treated as the same disposable software as a vibed to-do app 120
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026might be a bit too sovly for you but you can extrapolate that to "decomp/emulation projects in the past necessarily needed passionate nerds working on them and now any blue check sf worker can copy this art as a tech demo to show their coworkers" and the hostility becomes a bit more understandable 110
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026some of the most challenging comedies are themed around a single concept! so it's more productive to critique the format of the jokes (timing, delivery, payoffs) rather than their contents. don't just sarcastically say "this show be like lol sex lol" and leave it at that. 020
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i think it's silly when people review a comedy, usually animated, and criticize it for relying on sex jokes. i hate sex as much as the next guy and you can question its thematic appropriateness but people imply simply doing a comedy themed around a single concept is objectively bad joke writing. 120
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026see i think normally people read the king james version or something 130

Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026the biggest complaint about vibe mathing with ai is that counting is garbage. but today's ais were literally trained on sesame street's, numberblocks', even blue clues' arithmetic systems. you just need to unlock that knowledge with the right prompt. 030

Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026yeah that's actually something that's bothered me about persona bosses too. id rather the one mores be earned like in normal battles so it's something you have to work for than a boost (like in shadow yukiko or the kunino sagiri's resistance shifting) but i get it's tough to design a boss like that 010
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026though maybe i would be singing a different tune if rise ever did more for me in golden than mild sp boosts and letting me survive fatal blows in battles i lose anyways. p4 fans love talking about how op she is and i could never relate 010
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026good to hear! but tbh i'd still have these same thoughts even if one of these things occurred once every 50 battles. i'm still gonna play revival, p4g is one of my all timers (much to the shagrin of my oomfs lol) but i'm gonna do it while shaking my head at the super bar in the corner 200
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026i thought follow-ups in golden occurred when you *did* down an enemy, so there was a chance you could give your one more to a random ally like a proto-baton pass. a free one more after missing has different implications i feel lol 100
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026there's gonna be a peaceful difficulty option. i guess there's less hype moments and aura that way but i would rather they just focus on that than making it feel like you are playing a frictionless technology product each time the game doesn't even let you miss an attack 100
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026ik persona was never really gameplay-forward but it's jarring to have just finished p3, where even its watered down version of press turn at least had some higher thematic purpose, to having those mechanics get diluted across two games and remakes until you make the game play itself 100
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026do babies even get entertained by jingling keys anymore or is that an oldgen thing 120

Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026sometimes you walk past a vacant one-story office building in an unassuming business park in the middle of suburbia and it makes you yearn for the timeline where you spent your summer starting a scrappy early 90's computer startup with your friends that publishes disk defragmenters in big boxes 000
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026crazy to say but yiik had the right idea. in execution it was arduous to play, but you could tell yiik was going for a system where minigame skill directly correlated to battle performance, unlike a lot of action command rpgs where the ethos boils down to giving your thumbs something to do 010
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026if the idea is to keep the player engaged you can do that just as effectively by having party members shout banter about how awesome they are or by putting subway surfers gameplay in the corner of the battle ui 110
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026and it's like what's the point. there is no way you are going to mess those up after your first attempt, if even that, so why even bother. even for more complex action commands like pressing a sequence of buttons it feels like this. i can see the buttons i need to press on screen. 110
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026okay parrying/guarding enemy attacks can stay. those are digetic and require trial and error. same with, like, the special moves in paper mario ttyd because there's actually some risk of failure there. but then you have regular attacks being "press a at the right time" or "tilt the control stick" 110
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026growing up is realizing that action commands don't really add all that much to the turn based rpg experience 110
Jocobo @jocobo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026hmm okay but only if we get a third act misunderstanding out of it 020
