I cleared #The_King_of_Dragons on #Default difficulty using just a single credit! Aka a 1 credit clear! Full run in the replies! I estimate that this took about 15 - 20 hours. I did only light save state practice and mainly played runs. #1cc #Arcade

My thoughts exactly! One of the biggest reasons for the hate on wolverine is that it made the contradiction between aesthetics(hardcore,gamer,manly,brutal,etc) and the actual gameplay(pandering, shallow,braindead,etc) inherent to almost all action games just a little too obvious, imo

A new version of ChatGPT is about to drop. Academics like @alexhanna.bsky.social and Emily Bender have been pointing out for literal years that these scare tactics about how powerful and scary AI is actually work as marketing. At this point, being this gullible is a choice.

But also, that's not the "crux of the debate". AI is NOT "doing mimicry" nor is it "doing reasoning"

You're a vertical shooter. Translating the entirety of the first Darius collection was a job that took me two days and cost Taito or whoever footed my bill like $500 back in the day. If you wanna save money, just don't hire generalist agencies where like half the fee is pure profit margins lol

Book of Fuligin is a weird sci-fantasy comics anthology in honor of Gene Wolfe that me and a bunch of excellent artists created in 2022-24. I realized that many people who follow me here don't know about it, so it's time to change that.

Part of why it’s so baffling to me that there’s such a widespread insistence that challenging, bold game designs should include easier or more standardized options/modes to maybe-lure folks towards the harder stuff is that every other art form has worked out that that’s usually not very effective.

After a 2 month grind, I got the Mushihimesama Maniac 1CC! I almost fainted during Stage 5, but it was worth it. I never thought I'd be able to clear this caliber of game, I thought CAVE 1CCs were beyond me, but I'm so glad I went through the pain. YOU can do this too, go play Arcade games!

I hope the new Matthewmatosis vid sours people at least a little bit on "exploratory" descriptive topic vids. Taking on a prescriptive tone & approach is often straight up better for clarity, and a loss of nuance is just the tradeoff u have to accept when making shorter vids
