Rockin @rockinsockin.bsky.social · 01/10/2026gotta be my favorite interview centric video from this channel. you wind up with a much more all encompassing answer to the question for the fact of having responses from people who play all sorts of games. "find a game you have a lot of fun losing" is such great advice, embroider that on a pillow. 010

Rockin @rockinsockin.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I was ignoring this bc I'm very over this kind of open world-ish stat building bmup, but, arcade mode. maybe since it's a side mode it won't be a bloated 2+ hour affair like almost every other bmup released in the last decade? cautiously curious. 010
Reposted by RockinKayin @kayin.moe · 27/08/2026This was a great read, as was some of the stuff it cites. I always find it funny we act like "Well, we didn't understand game design back then, it's a new medium" as if it isn't older than art and language. Before we could talk, or paint caves, a primitive child was walking over invisible lines. 2619
