Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

And to a certain extent I would actually rather see emulation improve. Emulation also has always been malleable and has never been a pure cold "pretend to be a console" kind of thing. You can literally emulate systems that don't exist. You can literally overclock an NES or N64 and remove all lag.

And I would rather see ports from people who are actually passionate about the game they're porting because they're the kind of people who would complain about commercial ports that would always forget extremely specific details that a fanmade port would see them fixed within weeks

I like seeing the argument "without AI these ports would not exist" and here's my actual response: I actually would rather not see them exist for an extremely simple reason: They're absolutely USELESS. And I would say that emulation has always allowed similar improvements the entire time.

@amity-galaxy.bsky.social Btw not sure if it's known already or not but there seems to be a bug with the Mario Heardle stats where if you load the infinite version it seems to always reset the stats completely. Regular Mario Heardle also seems to inherit the infinite's stats if I checked that right

When starting Donkey Kong Land, there is a 1/8 chance the game will boot in a "paranoid ducking state" where Donkey Kong will constantly look around while ducking. This is actually a fault of the random number generator, which "locks in" to a single value and fails to be random.

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

It wouldn’t have felt right not making anything for the 10 year anniversary for Color Splash. This game was my TRUE introduction to the PM series and actually inspired me a lot throughout my early creations as an artist. Honestly I wouldn’t be the person I am today if not for Color Splash.

People may not realise that there are many many combinations of C/++ code, many nonsensical, that result in the same machine code. That's why decomp is difficult and has a significant manual element - because only humans can judge if code "makes sense".

It's really easy to just say you support trans folk, we're just asking you to put your money where your mouth is and not give it to one of the worst transphobes alive to show you mean it. If you can't even do that it's clear you just genuinely don't care about trans folk.

In the Mario Teaches Typing games, Mario never criticizes the player for underperforming and tries to be understanding and supportive. According to Charles Martinet, that was his initiative, as he felt being negative would go against the core principles of Mario's character.

In the Mario Teaches Typing games, even if the player does badly or underperforms compared to previous attempts, Mario will try to be understanding instead of critical:
Uh-oh, that wasn't quite as fast as the last time.
Hmm, are your fingers getting tired? Mine would be by now... if I had any. (laughs)
Charles Martinet, speaking at TooManyGames Convention 2021:
I got this marvelous opportunity to do Mario Teaches Typing. And when I got the script and I'm in the studio - I'm reading the script for the first time, there were things like "You failed!"
"That wasn't very good." "That was much worse... that was bad."
And I was reading that and I said, "Do you mind if I just, like, play with these words a little bit and just change them around?" because, you know, I never say "no" and I never say anything negative as Mario... and the producer graciously said "Sure, go for it!"
And so it became "Oh, that was good, but I know you can do even better!" "Oh, nice one but let's try again!" so it was always uplifting and always trying to be positive. And I think that that is the essence of the character to me - it's that love and that joy.

Even a lot of the most staunchly anti-AI people I know still fuckin quote the AI summary or even check AI overviews. We know it's a bad way to look at information! If you aren't disabling it entirely at least look at what it's sourcing, or go find an actual source. As close to every time as you can.

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.
