I love deadlocks art and design but mobas might be the best and worst genre. Online games need go back to 24/7 2fort servers equivalent

The pain points of random battles are less about the random battles themselves and moreso ps1 rpgs shifting away from exploration/survival and expecting you to fight trivial battles inbetween solving a puzzle that requires looking at the dungeon layout for more than 5 sec-*random battle flash*-

i think i might boycott youtube at some point, not for any ethical reasoning but i think this might be bad for the brain yo

stop guessing what hooks you audience with video a/b testing you can test up to 3 edits of a short or video simultaneously. review the stats, pick the clear winner, and seamlessly lock it in as your video.

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

I dont like that the oot remake looks so washed out, like it looks so grey in places. There's a lot you can extract with the og dark style and some clothing clearly has color to them. Maybe theyll change that in the next remake in 10 years

Ive been playing RS1 on the snes and it's not too bad with a primer The battle to exploration ratio is horrendous tho. Go through a whole dungeon full of easy encounters where your 6 party commands take up the entire combat time, then you find out you cant kill the boss and then have to leave

Watched Summer Wars on a whim and it rules. It's a retelling of digimon the movie but without the IP and being awkwardly broken up by short films. Surprised how well the portrayal of technology works in storytelling. It is very abstracted but understands social media on a deep level... in 2009

Chrono Triggers battles are easy but the bosses still have friction variety as in you can't spam your best moves without triggering crazy counters. I think it's the only Squaresoft game that actually follows up on the ATB "don't attack and wait it out" that every FF game does for the first boss.

seeing someone play every FF before 9 by using an emulator that save states and loads a random game in the series and repeats that every random length of time or so and i wonder if that's the only ADD way to consistently complete games

played mythic bastionland, was about to get kidnapped by a lady trapped in the dream world so I sneakily took a hammer to her head breaking the dream we were all trapped in and apparently freed her by proxy but gave her amnesia. it's the most murder hobo thing i've done that solved a problem.

of all the games that actually need rereleases it's the indie games from pre-XBLA era with hard to scale resolutions and compiled to target windows xp or something. I'm glad nothing is unnecessarily upressed

At a section in chrono cross where combat is too easy and the plot takes a back seat to "go to water dragon island then fire dragon island" type stuff. I don't really care about what I'm doing which can really sink an RPG experience.

Gave Chrono Cross a whirl and this time not bouncing off of it: it feels like a Kawazu game that actually hits most design goals even if theyre not liked. The story just doesn't throw you head first and the battle system doesn't kick in til the viper manor.
