the new deltarune fanletter is putting a lot of stock in my mother 2 joke i've been making since we saw the menu a incredibly short act 6 with act 7 being the last real chapter but that would necessitate fan letter communication about "ch6 progress" to be a lie

visual code blocks (blueprints etc) have always been an absolute nightmare to me i understand the metaphor as it relates to code but the layout doesn't help me orient my perspective and doesnt help me with organization i started on gamemaker's blocks and was constantly confused b4 switching to code

i have convened the aloof game design council and we have determined in laymans terms, "minas weapon hitboxes are like x,z 2D, whereas boss hurtboxes are like x,y 2D" meaning that its basically pointless for mina to stand to the north of the bosses because they will multihit you for free

but honestly aside from weird nitpicks about this bone system? pretty fun game

in absence of a darksign i now make a determination when i die to a secret boss or "leave some" money on a random annoying enemy in an area i just did if its a lot of money i go to the store and immediately buy whatever is the largest purchasable item if its a small amount i kill mina (now 3) times

my solution in cases like this is not to go digging through mods or accessibility menus to find options to turn "never lose cash" on i think game developers should just make you actually lose your money on death if they want to make you lose your money on death even dark souls 1 had a darksign

i have grown tired of games with darksouls money but mina the hollower has taken my ticket for the worst implementation ever if you die twice (without retreival) you lose everything you were carrying the second time

pretty out of love with blue prince now and i'm supporting the people who refused to play it due to the lack of some accessibility options definitely a game with a lot of puzzles that are way simpler then they look and with a lot of puzzles that would be complicated but are adequately signposted

but really, i've put too much time into blue prince trying to solve it hint-less and i should have been more willing to do a "co-op" style run or get some vague hints to expediate this process i spent a large number of runs on the freezer thinking my placement of tiles was wrong by

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

starting to develop grumbles about blue prince but its a weakness with how completionism works in a game i could have been satisfied with what i found out / figured out / played out and i could have quit playing but i got enough of a teaser from a friend about extra information/cutscenes

110

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

blue prince wants me to use my blue tents as i slowly explore the roguelike mode but i've already been done dominating the roguelike mode for a while so its more like i'm finding the blue tent hints by organizing a groundhog day style scenario and reloading the same day with the resources

110

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

it turns out blue prince wasn't meant to be long in the tooth the trophy list was a list of objectives for those who wanted more and the unlock for 8 trophies is definitely helpful, if a little bit too direct on some of these hints

110

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

blue prince is a bit long in the tooth if i didn't have someone ahead of me i'd have thought i was long done by now just looking at optional runs of the roguelike mode apparently i'm missing some big puzzle or big hint somewhere as such working on some nonsense theories currently that might turn out

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

sitting in a call with some friends for 2 hours and then you and another both realize you've been sitting in blue prince's gallery tile and then the discord call turns from "ill think about this while we chat/stream/watch whatever" to "ranked competitive gallery solving"

really like the two additions to nightreign kind of silly to see the two new boss relics though they really had to pull a night-of-the-fathom again i wonder if they're aiming to give players more quick slotable relics rather then give players any control over the relic randomization

i'm finally just about finished with silksong act 2 took me way too much wandering around to get the last wish of act2 to trigger, and i won't get to find out what detail i was missing until i finish the first unspoiled playthru

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

made a small breakthru on hk pantheon 4 i do think i missed out a bit on hk charm builds because they made everything more expensive over time i have been enjoying the (tools) more in silksong though it feels like some red tools are the standouts / the most useful its nice to equip 9 "charms"

210

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

kind of hardstuck on hk pantheon 4 finished my speedrun goals on hk and saw the various endings i'll definitely return to try out some more of hk steel soul, sad that it doesn't have too much extra content / context like i've heard rumors about silksong but i did move onto silksong

been playing hollow knight first few hours: felt oppressively linear, felt like obvious dead ends probably died twice to soul master (had zero geo) dropped it for several years the road to 25 charms and all the buyable notches: felt money starved avoided city of tears thinking id finished it prev.

patstaresat finished his playthru of Lisa the Painful and apparently enjoyed his ending which is great but he's going to go play Lisa the Joyful which is great i really enjoyed my time with Lisa up until the ending and i skipped Joyful saw it a little while layer thru a friend

i think that we can learn a lot about the respect presented to "metroid brainia" type games like tunic or outer wilds in that it isn't necessarily the quality of any individual puzzle or challenge in a game that makes it so resonant its the ability for friends to make a recommendation and then

110

Kevin @jrpg.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

i think that silksong's release schedule preventing the youtube/tiktok apocalypse of day1 tricks tips cheetz secrets meta builds etc was a good thing actually i don't think it hurts critical game evaluation if a article/essay is written a month or a year or ten years after the commercial release

This image actually made something click in my brain. I was already highly vocal about how much I like friction, but now I think the most noble thing a game can do is devastate the player so badly that they want to put it down.

i have thoughts on skong but i got stuck eating my hollow knight homework and its still apparent from both times ive dropped off of hk and said, "maybe i'll just wait for skong, seems like a sequel might address my biggest critiques" they did address them and yea i'm gonna fall off hk again soon
