minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/02/2026how fucking DARE you want to not participate in it" Mechanics and story are both important parts in a video game, but somehow people want to skip the former and vilify those who want to skip the latter. 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/02/2026For Expedition 33 especially, it was the first time I felt the story really get in my way of enjoying gameplay. And you can even argue exploration skipping is an accessibility mode for people who get motion sickness. But when I bring this up, people go like "well exploration is the POINT! 110
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Somehow, in a genre born out of mechanical execution, people now frame as moral imperative that no kind of mechanical skill be demanded from a player. Yet the story - the part that came after - is viewed as a sacrosanct thing that everyone must participate in, and those who don't are soulless husks. 100
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/02/2026See, I have no issue - and even support - optional game modes that let people just read the story. But somehow whenever I bring up how I want faster cutscenes or exploration skipping to just let me fight the section boss, I get exclusively yelled at by people saying I'm desecrating the game. 100
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 03/02/2026from my experience with Gamestop refurbished items - those drifty controllers you trade in are going straight back onto the shelf, sold to another customer for the same price as a fully functional used one :) :) :) 000

minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 17/01/2026People always get incredulous when I said Hollow Knight feels very samey until I point out that most of its biomes are reskins of the same set of hitboxes. And then some of them turn around to disparage Ori for having overly superficial biome differences.. 🤷♀️ bruhs Ori has a full diving area.. 020
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 16/01/2026If you're against leopards eating the faces of everyone except one group of people who should juuuust let those leopards eat one ear, come on it's just one ear, then you're closer to the side of the leopards than the people, and *should* be thrown to them actually. 020
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 16/01/2026Please ignore all the comments telling you to use some other streaming service and just support artists by buying direct. Phone storage is dirt cheap compared to the last decade. 010
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 16/01/2026crap TONS of people still parade their spotify wrapped while posting about generative AI art theft. Because theft that they benefit from isn't theft I guess. 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 16/01/2026digital art creators also "don't have to" put their artworks on all those image sharing sites that feed their works into generative AI models. Doesn't mean we can't criticize those platforms for being shitty. 100
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 16/01/2026and a disturbingly amount of people who say that are also going "stop using generative AI!!! support hashtag human artists!!!" ie "I only care about the subsection of artists who are hip and trendy to care about. Don't make me question other oppressive systems that I'm too used to supporting." 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 15/01/2026reminds me of these I just saw at Narita airport's pokemon center :0 probably would have gotten some if not for them being blind boxes 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 21/12/2025fwiw I spent most of my Expedition 33 playthrough thinking "this should have been in the Octopath art style". 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Also win art direction over Hades 2 which had all custom and manually created art+icons for early access placeholders 220
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 18/12/2025yeah but they just quietly swept it under the rug instead of having a company figurehead go online to antagonize their audience 150
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 14/12/2025that grid actually gave me an optical illusion of being all wobbly when viewed from the side xD 010
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 12/12/2025they really picked a nice place to sit because every time e33 gets something they get a cameo too 🤣 010
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 12/12/2025instead of being sad about Hades 2 not winning goty, may I offer you the crew vibing in the back :) #hades2 120
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/12/2025you don't even need players, phone storage is dirt cheap compared to last decade. 128 GB is more than enough. 110
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/12/2025- in people who use services that they deem "bad enough", like starbucks, generative AI or harry potter. Suddenly it flips from "every ounce of oxygen you give it is a crime" to "well it's just so convenient! ahahaha". 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/12/2025For heavens' sake, Just. Stop. Streaming. Buy from small artists you want to directly support and get the rest for free. It's just embarrassing to hear liberals use the "it's so convenient"/"I'm too entrenched in this" excuse, that they themselves love to deride - 110
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 05/11/2025As a casual pianist I hate it here, because 88 is also the standard number of keys on the piano. Like cool one more fun number I can never openly use 041

minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 12/10/2025I love how Hera delivers all the accounts of Zeus' questionable behaviour with that tone xD 110
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 12/10/2025Replicant did have an English original release though, it just didn't get much attention before Automata became popular 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 12/10/2025Fire Emblem 7's story was set before FE6 Nier Replicant "remastered" came after Automata 100
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 06/10/2025The fifth wave always covers all the lanes that the fourth wave doesn't, so as long as you move from the current lane, chances are you'll get it right. 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 06/10/2025What I do for that move is immediately get to a safe spot for the first wave. And know that the fifth wave always covers what the fourth wave doesn't, so that's two less things to memorize. 000

minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 26/09/2025I always love shipping the love interests with each other instead of the MC they're supposed to date xD 110
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 18/09/2025also those people were probably cheering when statues and murals of racists were taken down. like hey that's art too but when it's Their turn to deem something Problematic Enough suddenly they can grasp that some kinds of art is better gone than not. and then they immediately forget this afterwards 100
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 11/09/2025This is why I always laugh when people talk about Canada like it's some queer haven. Optics above all, no deeper thought. 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Kinder Egg toy quality has gone down the shitter too. Even back when I was in high school, the toys assembled into something with moving parts. Now it's just "put the head on the body and get a static figure". 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Yeah the energy honestly feels like Supergiant: We took our time with Hades and didn't crunch Gamers: Aww you're sweet Team Cherry: We took our time with Silksong and didn't crunch Gamers: Hello human resources?? 010
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 07/08/2025there's some commentary to be had on how the very first line of the description under a Squid Game video is an ad instead of something relevant to the video's content 100
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 07/08/2025I kind of wish corporate would actually stand up for their employee instead of doing some PR-ey apology 000
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 18/07/2025There was a similar thread of "I support trans people but does everyone HAVE to say trans rights all the time?" which was allowed to stay up, at least to get a few 10s of comments under it, so tbh I don't have confidence on the mod team to see through prejudice if it's sweetened. 010
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 10/07/2025And video game subreddits mostly have a "shut up and consume" undertone. I've pointed out a few times that an indie studio isn't doing the nicest thing and judging by the replies you'd think I said that the studio should be shut down and all their works boycotted for eternity 021
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 09/07/2025Tbh kid me was just being resistant to new stuff but I'd like to think they had the gift of prophecy and tried their best xD 110
minty melon @mintymelon753.bsky.social · 09/07/2025I nearly dodged the bullet, when I was a kid my parents asked "do you want those Harry Potter books?" and I immediately went "Nope!" But a family friend bought them anyway so I ended up reading all of it, welp 110
