We don't talk enough about the soundtrack of Fuck's Quest II, which was clearly made by someone who understands how to compose music and used that knowledge for evil

Deadlock is about to show the entire industry how you launch a video game. all you need is an infinite amount of time and money to beta test without ever making an announcement, one of the greatest auteurs in game design, and the largest distribution platform on the planet. anyone can do it

I wonder if anyones caught on to the fact that most hangups with random encounters are bc of Graphics. If random encounters were functionally the same but they were represented by a goblin showing up on-screen and scurrying toward your guy unavoidably fast 90% of ppl would be fine with them

one of the more annoying things the brain poison that is Search Engine Optimization did to game journalism (and why i left) was kind of an early harbinger of LLMs. you literally had to change your writing style, using uncomplicated words and formatting things in a web-crawler-accessible format

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.

A beloved classic reimagined

Four labelled panels.
The first panel is labelled "Skull Panda", and depicts a drawing of Skull Panda.
The second panel is labelled "Skull Panda 2", and is the same drawing as the first panel, with a scarf added.
The third panel is labelled "Skull Panda Remastered", and is the same drawing as the first panel, but with extreme lighting applied to it.
The fourth panel is labelled "Skull Panda remake". It depicts Skull Panda in an alarming detailed style, with a realistic skull head and a human body and clothes, standing in a detailed grassy field in front of a photo background with a rainbow.

arcade games are rhythm games with bullshit controllers, racing games that are uncomfortable if you aren't the perfect height to play them, and whatever fighting game the arcade owner has put a shitty lcd replacement screen in. and a billion shitty amusements ticket games

It just amazes me how the word has shifted so 'arcade game' refers to a type of action and people look at you crazy when you remind them that the most Arcade Shit possible is to have a controller that is cool as hell and also makes playing the game infinitely harder

you also gotta specify what you mean by "listening to country" because there's country that's meant to make you feel like a real American for owning a pickup truck and country where you can't afford one that works or they haven't been invented yet

I know saying that raises a few hackles, and I do apologize for the discomfort, but as a whole, the BlueSky trans community would do well to give each other more grace and to stop outsourcing personal issues by reading the worst interpretations into what others say we owe that to each other

if you read "in my lay opinion, injections provide the best method of HRT, but all methods work and any estrogen is better than no estrogen" and you hear "you're failing if you don't do injections", then you need to work on how you read and interpret information and also work on your self-confidence

all vibe-coded ports look and feel like shit because theyre made by people without the experience or passion to pay attention to the small details these projects are like a disease to the reverse engineering community and must be rejected at all costs if we want to maintain a standard of quality

kinda wish we'd circle back to the "what are videogames even for?" argument more these days because... passive stimulation delaying people's existential dread and increasing their screen time is not a particularly great argument for a thing to exist in my book. not to mention a really depressing one

the point about "Candy Box sans the sense of humor" describes so many idle games in general to me - a genre that started out at least somewhat more satirical about the goofy meaninglessness of so many game genre tropes falling into semi-predatory addictive design techniques and second screen fodder

two cents on this is i don't think just having decisions makes a game worthwhile/interesting. lots of games let you make many meaningless decisions. what bothers me is the trend towards the passive stimulation blob of "second screen content" there mostly to delay existential dread. that's depressing
