Thaine @thainatos.bsky.social · 19/01/2026This album came out in 1997. Pre Columbine, pre Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Part of his genius was that this song feels so on-the-nose now but was largely taken with a tongue in the cheek when it was released. Also, he self-identified as an American. A lot going on there. 010

Reposted by ThaineDerek Yu @mossmouth.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Getting stuck causes players to explore the world. Dying causes players to think about what they're doing. An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible. We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas. 301275224
Reposted by ThaineDerek Yu @mossmouth.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Part of me feels like Dark Souls wouldn't have caught on if the first game had difficulty settings. It'd be "cheap", "pointless", etc. Arcade games had a relatively granular difficulty option via credit feeding and it played a big part in them written off as "button mashers"/"quarter munchers". 20835172
