full metal pageantry: a light read on front mission, showmanship, and the benefits of complexity-as-aesthetic
steelonbone.neocities.org
on its face front mission gives the appearance of significant complexity: upwards of fifteen(+) units, each needing to be fitted with their own modular mech, including arms, legs, bodies, weapons, computer units, and backpacks, in addition to a variety of weapon sub-types, hidden affinities, and opaque skill unlock requirements

only thing i'm noticing is that i slapped so many assets into the browser page for my new review, it seems to emphasis that it can struggle w/ loading on worse connections. i think this is mostly cuz i bought a shitty SSL by accident, i'm gonna try and find a better one in the next few days

castlevania having estus flasks feels like witnessing the death of rome. it’s kinda like if you gave your belmont god of war moves because a whip is sort of like a chain and it’s 2010 and twelve people total bought harmony of despair

this was 100% my expectation since the first trailer dropped i think. the castlevania mold of whips in a game with 5 bazillion hyper responsive movement options just sounds dull

and then they could not write themselves out of the hole of "the energy is a pokemon so u can null the dilemma with the problem fixing pokeball"

LAKESPIRIT @lakespirit.love · 20h
my gut feeling is that they were trying to say smth about the nuclear power crisis in Japan, and butchered it very very hard. the "this energy source is genuinely good but rushing it puts the long-term in jeopardy".

hello, everyone. September is always a hectic (and rather sick) time, so the pace of this month's journal sort of reflects that, but as well as discussing some short games and rare STGs, I wrote a few words (and questions) towards the directon of the site. faearie.neocities.org/posts/journa...

which like, pretty obviously writes himself into the corner of "okay, well if the past wasn't using every tool possible, when does the present become 'intentional'?" which he brings up once, and is like "idk" and then doesn't talk about again these remakes advertising graphics are gonna age quicker

even relatively smart ppl seem to fall into this trapping for some reason. like that nerrel video from earlier this year, where he basically grandstands on the take of "recreating the past is stupid, because the past was an accident and we have better tools now"

even if it was 1:1 the same staff hires, they'd be different, because a person is not the same person as themselves after 30 years of change

i don't know how anyone can think this, when most of the staff of ocarina of time are like, gone. this is a game made by different people who have different visions, because of course they do, they are different people.

this one reaaaally gets me. that one "when the person you thought was annoying gets outed so you feel justified" epic meme image ppl post around is like. it's written like they're self-aware it's a little stupid and petty, but it is kind of a very bad thought to internalize as remotely valid lol

There’s a whole conversation happening right now about stepping up and sacrificing our own comfort for the sake of someone else. What am I supposed to think when you're furious about what Xbox is doing, but the moment you can do something about it the games become separate from the company?
