Always funny when you can pinpoint the exact moment a YouTuber articulated a specific criticism because all of a sudden every discussion has it come up with identical phrasing when no one has mentioned it before.

magenta horizon makes good on how hesitant a lot of games are to mix and match their enemy types in insane ways. this game has like 9 billion enemies and i would be surprised if less than like 80% of them showed up together at some point. even certain bosses will randomly get in the mix! it's fucked

"Sometimes you have to do things you don't like" is sort of a harsh reality of life and it's concerning that reactionaries want to just opt out of community, democracy, public health, everything that makes society functional.

"I am superior. What I like is good and what I dislike is bad. Steak for every meal is how our ancestors flourished. I can run a farm with my white wife and 17 kids. Tariffs will fix everything. Illegals are eating pets. They're doing trans surgery in kindergarten. Veggies are unhealthy."

I feel like this is going beyond the "alternative facts" media landscape or the right's refusal to engage with reality, from the AI hype to supply side economics to disinformation campaigns against marginalized groups. Reactionaries just want to shrug and say their beliefs are true now.

people who want the dpad to be on the lower left instead of the upper left can feel the walls closing in around them at this point

Neon Inferno has been extremely fun!! Excellent run n gun action <3 But it desperately needs some stability updates. I've crashed 3 times today. Twice it interrupted my co-op play with a friend, once it interrupted an Arcade Mode run (early in). Very bad for a game where the ultimate goal is 1cc

A lot of game discussion right now is reminding me of that 2015-ish time of sociopolitical thought where a lot of new language started popping up And simultaneously, some people are acting like everyone (or even they themselves) started out understanding these concepts after watching a few TEU vids

I think people aren’t totally honest about how what was considered “good” game design has changed. In 2005, little to no one was talking about “neutral skips” in fighters or i-frames in action games. Even among the most analytical players.

And because games are just coming out at all hours, Neon Inferno just dropped. Fantastic hybrid of side-scrolling arcade run n' gun shooter with some Cabal-style shooting into the background. GORGEOUS sprite art, great lighting, tough as nails on Hard mode & brutal in the no-checkpoint Arcade mode.

Reminder that this is the person that certain FGC figures like Justin Wong is down to partner with via Qiddiyap despite clear evidence about Khashoggi's murder. Also to note that the Royal Family was close with Epstein at one point. Keep boycotting SNK since POTUS supports the killings as well now.

"esse nazista virou nazista pois o pinto dele era pequeno e ele era burro" meu amigo a derivação direta do seu argumento é que superioridade genética existe. e você não vai acreditar em quem mais pensava a mesma coisa.

We're rebranding the genre! It's not Character Action Games anymore! Now, we are FAGs!

Same with the way pixel art revival beat-em-ups and stuff like NG Ragebound are received now that they’re back in fashion If the art looks 10/10 and the rest of the game is solid then it’s a perfect game cause no one understands the gameplay nuances of the genres enough to get any deeper than that

Across the board, reviewers can’t truly figure out arcadey action games on a deadline unless they happen to already be hardcore about them It also shows in generic positive reviews of character action games, where there’s no scrutiny of the nitty gritty mechanics that differentiate good from great

it didn't even really provide me with any new information but that one email between epstein and some other random rich elite saying "when will the madness end" about the metoo movement felt like a key unlocking my brain that will explain every unforced institutional capitulation we've seen

roguelikes became poopy when they stopped being about trying to identify the assortment of random shit in your pocket where 50% of them have a chance to kill you

Spikeout keeps calling me back

You got people who don't understand a genre, reviving them for people who don't even actually like a genre, creating some weird cargo cult of aesthetics and gameplay mechanics that get deemed good or bad based on some shallow gamefeel impressions.

Problem in general that happens a lot (Beat'em ups, RPGs, and Shmups especially) is the people who make them are like "Oh I liked this when I was young, but it hasn't aged well". People who don't understand the genres they're dipping into come in to 'fix' them for the tastes of their cohort.

Design balanced for the highest difficulty to be the most fun experience

Also I just wanna say that the idea that me too was a walk in the park and it could happen to anyone at random... Literally go fuck yourself.

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but here you go!

Magenta Horizon is pretty easily one of the best action games I have ever played that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as NG and DMC, but it's also a real adventure on top of the electrifying combat sandbox. Can't recommend it enough. An easy 10/10 store.steampowered.com/app/2109060/...
