When you think of it, history is fascist and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper anarchist movement should seek to abolish it.

I love and respect what little of Blue Prince’s storytelling I was able to get, but I believe it’s not a fair matchup to compare the worldbuilding of Blue Prince to Lorelei, because Lorelei is holding a gun to your head, asking you if you would die for the love of art

What about names like Doki Doki Literature Club that don't reference the key experience of the game? If the POINT of the game is subverting a cute experience with a sinister one, the cute name is still selling the meat of the game. Identify the meat, and then sell it!!

Don't hide the best stuff. Say you have a narrative game where the setup is in a cosy town but then you're whisked away to the hall of the mountain king. You're going to want to reference the meat of the game. Cosy Town or Mountain King - which one references the thing you'll be doing most?

Let's talk about naming your video game! This is something I come back to with teams over and over again. Naming is really hard. A decent name is hard to find, and a bad one will really make it hard for people to remember your game. Here are some tips.

one of the worst and most terrifying pieces of information that ive learned is that in order to make friends you kind of have to be annoying to people. and if they like it thenn you can be friends. friendship is just when you both like when the other one is annoying

Shigeru Miyamoto has claimed that Toad is his least favorite character in Mario Kart. Despite this, in all footage of him playing Mario Kart 8, he picked Toad every time. Whether he was joking or specifically picking a character he hates to challenge himself is unknown.
I have an important question. Nintendo has also just released Mariokart 7 for the 3DS. In every iteration of Mariokart, I've always preferred to play as Toad. Who's your favorite character?
That's the most challenging question! I'm sorry that I cannot come up with an interesting answer. Somehow, it's habit to me, but I play with Mario. He's a very balanced character.
Who's your least favorite character?
Toad. [Laughs]
My favorite character is your least favorite character?
I understand that he has some popularity. Somehow.
In a 2012 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Shigeru Miyamoto has claimed Toad is his least favorite Mario Kart character.
In December 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen played Mario Kart 8 against YouTuber Rosanna Pansino. Miyamoto picked Toad.
Also in December 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen played Mario Kart 8 against YouTuber iJustine. Miyamoto picked Toad again.
Finally, in January 2015, the two played Mario Kart 8 against YouTube group Smosh Games. Miyamoto picked Toad again.
Whether Miyamoto simply had an enormous change of heart about Toad in the intervening 2 years, or whether he was picking his least favorite to challenge or punish himself, is unknown.

The new update added some fixes, it seems lot of bosses were given more visible hit effects. Footage form Solar boss which was the most notable example of lacking hit vfx on launch after the update.

One reason that I like it when games are designed with the Switch in mind, is because it forces games to have much larger text and UI/HUD elements, so that those things are readable in handheld mode, and often at lower resolution

(iPad, iPhone, Operating Systems) I agree with general critiques of certain mobile operating systems not having functionality that one expects of a traditional computer OS, But personally, I find it much easier to perform certain computer tasks on my phone or iPad, than on my laptop.

This feels obvious, but it took me a long time before I understood that light novels have long titles, because web novel websites will list 50 works on a single page, Few readers click through to read the summary page, so the title text itself communicates the summary / hook for potential readers.
