Why doesn't Bluesky have Vim navigation like Twitter/X?

Funny you say that because people will argue until they're blue that you should absolutely be able to opt out of challenge. In fact the no opt out side (Of which I’m part) is by far the minority opinion.

It’s a western hemisphere thing. Because these countries were founded by people who were not of this land, there was no blood-determination like we have in European countries.

I have bought many ports my guy. I buy them just to support shmupping. Your point is well taken.

There’s no good version of SDOJ. There’s a version on switch that’s a port of a 360 port that is notoriously awful.

I dunno. I think people genuinely don’t give a shit about arcade games or remotely think about them. Most gamers are either on the release treadmill (what’s the new hot release), or are playing 1-2 lifestyle games. And even that’s like a 20/80 split favoring the lifestyle games.

You simply don’t get anywhere near the variety of users because the Bluesky user base is so much smaller. The quantity and quality of Japanese follows I have cant be matched by Bluesky, and it’s all translated for me. Also there’s approximately one correct opinion on any given subject here.

Just ahistorical nonsense. Obama lost Congress because middle turned against him. Harris and Clinton lost because they were viewed as more extreme than Trump. Progressives are simply too out of touch to see this. And btw, they voted for all of the above democratic candidates.

It’s more dire than is being discussed. The games arcade player side-eye as mainstream & watered down are unsuccessful, and aren’t making money. NG4 player totals are garbage. FF7 Rebirth was a sales disappointment. The interest in arcade games is a tiny shred of those games.

Scoring reveals intent (ie resetting score when you continue), but then again so many people don’t care about score. And then you have the games that dont even reset score when you continue! Which is insane.

The affordability problems all stem from supply-side issues. So it’s maybe unsurprising that other countries have had success with price controls as a counter-measure. But that has also lead to doctors favoring America as a place to work from other places in the world. Will be interesting.

The discourse on Reddit is dire. “The flying creatures aren’t fair,” “challenge rooms are tedious,” and “bosses shouldn’t have adds.” Nice to see someone actually like what makes Silksong combat interesting

Dealing with 3d space in a video game is very difficult. Games have lock-on to deal with the difficulty of using the right stick. They use suck-to-target to deal with the challenges on the left stick. Suck-to-target feels way worse though because it’s so unnatural. Many gamers don’t notice though

What’s interesting is people I know who ostensibly *like* beat’em ups tend to view them as dumb, turn-off-your-brain action games. These are the people who Shredder’s Revenge and its offspring are really marketed toward. Even the people who like the games often see them as bottom-of-the-barell

You’re reminding me of why I hate “just add an easy mode” or worse “just let me skip bosses.” No one told Zach Cregger to make Weapons less scary or violent so they could enjoy it. People need to adopt the attitude they have with movies with games.

Maybe but the sort of people who hate timers (they do trend more casual) wouldn’t play horror in the first place. Because these people genuinely panic over video games and can not handle getting pressured. Not clear if this is from a lack of experience or just mental state, but I see it a lot.

He is right about the sliders. Lame, shows lack of confidence on the part of the dev, makes the game impossible crtique, and moves it away from art and toward a product.

In the context of the present day difficulty discourse, a 1cc in something like Dodonpachi exists outside of the realm of what’s possible—despite being an entirely achievable goal for an ordinary gamer! So it’s no wonder a game that kills you a few times causes conniptions.

It can be galling, particularly when you expect something to happen and then It doesn’t. I agree with Gabe Newell’s quote on some level about fun being when you act on the world and it reacts in turn. Not that I think Mafia needs swimming.

Blasphemous devs stay winning. Kinda surprised because I love those games, but I didn’t think they could switch from Metroidvania to action platformer relatively painlessly.

It’s a massive upgrade over the pre-uber world, particularly if you live outside of a major metro. But I guess those people shouldn’t have access to fast, reliable taxi service.

Supposedly what works is to actually befriend people like this and show them that liberals or leftists or whatever your preferred term is are not terrible human beings. *that* softens their devotion to extremism.
