the reason why "you just like it because of nostalgia" is so aggravating is because on the internet the person defending resident evil 1 is most likely 17 and the one arguing against it is probably 41

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

Even when they're able to talk more clearly, it often comes off as very awkward or struggling to find the right words. But they still try to anyways, and it's very endearing. I want more characters like this and even more to an extreme if possible.

It's part of why I find Kris from Deltarune so interesting, because they're very clearly have some form of intellectual disability that makes it hard for them to communicate clearly and often have to resort to very specific key-words, as trying to form longer sentences is difficult for them.

A similar issue I see a lot and is never brought up anywhere is the inclusion of people with ACTUAL autism and other mental disabilities that aren't just a vague high functioning person but are otherwise "normal".

So often I feel like these topics are mainly aimed at trying to make white people feel good about themselves just because they wrote a non-white person on their stories. It feels vapid eventually and misses the point of inclusion.

a black or asian or mixed person being in these kinds of situations from the POV of a white person? How much of it is in the interests of white people VS in the interest of non-white writers and readers.

I think a problem comes up where when you're writing characters with a focus on race is that at what point does it switch from a natural flow of character writing to exploitation. Is it about seeing these kinds of settings from a non-white POV or is it because you're sexually interested in-

Did you know Collective Soul made a song called December? And if you analyze the lyrics, you realize it's just kinda only good for inventing random scenarios and not anything actually relevant to anything but it's still pretty fun

I've beat Ace Combat 0 six times now. I'll probably beat it another two times before finally upgrading my PC so it can actually run Ace Combat 8 without 9 minute loading screens.

So something fun that happened last month, Exploding Lips, the very thing that inspired Mayhem Mansion in the first place, had the full version posted on archive,org after someone got in touch with the original devs, so i played it all after a bunch of setting up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bewb...
