iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

oh yaya lol makes perfect sense. there’s few enough people posting about awbw as it is, so it’s even harder to detect the sarcasm than it normally would be

towards the middle and make something happen on your strong side ofc i cant see the COs or CO meters so maybe that evens this game out, but in most MUs i feel like you’re outright winning if you just press the advantage

100

heya hope you don’t mind the random ping from a stranger, i just wanted to ask if this game actually did stall out? you have a pretty sizable unit count advantage and your opponent is being very passive on their strong side. feels like you should be able to front shift your weak side tanks…

I can’t emphasize this enough — “AI” wasn’t born corrupt and toxic. For ~75 years, it was mathematicians and scientists doing interesting, thoughtful work and trying to solve problems, making only the usual human mistakes. What “AI” did to machine learning is as tragic as what it did to artists.

Something deep inside me told me I should draw Donkey Kong today.

A four panel comic titled "Hours, Bananas, Doors."
Donkey Kong awakens staring at himself in a mirror, then stares down at his hand as he notices a strange watch on his wrist.
Staring at his wrist, the watch turns out to be one of the numbered bracelets from 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors from the Zero Escape series. It's Junpei's bracelet. For some reason.
Peach then asks a confused Donkey Kong, "Donkey Kong? Have you ever heard of the Parallel Banana Theory?"

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

the thing is, you are perfectly fine to defend your decision to play the unrepentant slop; it’s your time and money to spend as you like. but defending that decision doesnt mean you have to defend the slop. just say you enjoyed the slop and move on

JubJub @jubjub623d.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

feel like it should be better understood that being a working adult with like 2 hours of game time per week does not limit you to unrepentant slop. roller coaster tycoon is a game you could relax with for 2 hours a week and it’s the furthest thing from slop

usually i don’t lifepost but today i got to enjoy some banger ass fondue in the swiss mountains with a great vista

Two pots of fondue side by side. The red pot on the left is vacherin and gruyere, while the right pot is classic fondue mixed with potatoes and bacon

this reads like a comment about Games Difficulty that i would get mad at, but map 7 of AW1 Advance Wars pits your pre-deployed army up against 6 Eagle bombers in fog of war with AW1 Lightning Strike at that point you have to ask if it’s really worth it

advance wars rules but the difficulty in the cartridge games could’ve done with a campaign between Reasonably Difficult and Turbo Crotchkicker

the cop-out answer would be to make them mutex like Like/Dislike usually is but i say fuck it, build an entirely separate system that sprinkles in Likeable Bait at perfectly spaced intervals for better engagement

JubJub @jubjub623d.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

thought experiment: a text-first social media side where under every post is a like button, a repost button, and a That’s Bait button and a sentiment analysis model uses the That’s Bait presses to prevent similar bait from showing up on your feed

Everyone hates it when their opponent just leaves the game before it's over, so I've been trying to find ways to soften the blow a little bit. #fightinggame #gamemaker #indiedev

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

see, i think that’s a big problem with current game discourse — games are social (no matter how much people claim they’re not) and there’s a pervasive need to be “kept up”. people feeling like they’re obligated to beat games leads people to feel the games are obligated to let themselves be beat

110

trying your damndest to cheese the game, which is why it’s so satisfying to get the 1-all even after having bombed the final boss 10 times and barely surviving on your last legs

020

additionally, like i mentioned in my op, hard games can have cheese and still be hard. hell, most bullet hell games have a large supply of “get out of jail free” cards in the bomb button. regardless, the constant pressure provided by these games forces you to endure challenge even while you’re…

120

thus i wouldn’t call puzzle games a Fakey challenge based on this line of thinking alone, because the intended fantasy and implied contract you make with the developer by playing a puzzle game isn’t the same as the one you’re making when you’re playing an action game

330

…where the mechanical challenges make the player feel like they have to chops to actually play the hero action games have tools to design challenges that aren’t immediately obliterated by looking up a strategy. otherwise, anyone could beat mushi ultra just by watching a Youtube video.

120

ok great! wrt to the puzzle game comment, i definitely could’ve been more precise about what i actually meant. i made the post with action games in mind, bc the og article is clearly hooked on an idealized fantasy of the action game experience: treating Soulslike games as heroic duels…

130

before i give you my answer can i at least trust that you read (or at least skimmed) the original substack article that this post is in reference to

100

not a taboo that needs to be shamed into disuse every strategy or option you have is a struggler’s sword against the constant threat of death. in this light, you can see why games that actually intend to push you to your limits are generally resistant to being hit by cheese, even repeatedly

140

(quoting bog’s qrp bc the op disabled qrps) you can tell the OG argument is mondo stupid because it falls apart immediately when you try to apply it to games that intend to be Actual Factual challenging instead of Fakey challenging ie: the DOJ stage 3 safespot(s) is simply a fact of life…

252

yeah! i was actually going to say it feels really similar to samsho in the sense that it’s very tense and there’s a lot of respect afforded to big poking attacks, but overly respecting pokes can be capitalized on by the fast runspeed. i think you have it spot-on

i got put on Koihime Enbu because @mewjam.bsky.social and i went to a FG local with a free koihime bracket, and i got 2nd despite only having played the game once before because i’m nice with it 💪 great fundamentals-based fighting game that’s easy to pick up but still has sauce (hougeki combos)
