does anyone remember a web game from the early 2010s I think where it was single screen, very tiny indiana jones like sprite (or la mulana type sprite if you like, but this is older I believe), the whole game was played on one full screen, it was adorable and quite involved. It's stuck in memory

I totally get it, bro (I finally got AC4 (not For Answer) stable in emulation and I am enjoying filling in the gaps in my chronology of this amazing series)

Optional parts of a game being formally unexplained to encourage long term experimentation from the player are cool. Then again, playing a game is optional to begin with, fiddle with it at your own pace in perpetuity. Great games that end up out of market circulation often become this dignified sort

It's so striking. It's like it was painted today and its about the right now.

It's interesting, I don't like hierarchies generally, but as a philosophical thought I was pondering on that, clearly, the most beautiful thing for a human to gaze upon is another human they think beautiful. It's probably nearly universal but what is second place? For me its probably abstract art?

FFO Gungriffon. There is an excellent free japanese pc game called High-MACS Simulator that serves as an unofficial sequel. It is mouse and keyboard perfection. It's in japanese but a series of very well done (and immersive) youtube tutorials are also linked below www.reddit.com/r/IndieGamin...

I am playing Mecha Knights, a very dumb but fun game in the lineage of Earth Defense force. However I have made the choice to be listening to Selected Ambient Works II with it which is elevating it to some stoic Evangelion type of sublime atmosphere, lol store.steampowered.com/app/1163870/...

Fighting game where every button is more than 20 frames (ie reactable) but there is no block button, only parry. Parry window the active frames of the attack. Perfect parry gives + frames. The more both sides parry each other in a chain the faster the attacks come out. Hold button for delay attack

Granted, it's on Easy but I finished a MW2 campaign. I am KHAN! It stands for KING!

top rank I've achieved in this mess of a Tekken. At least the last patch seems to have stabilized the game a tad, but it's still hyperoffense and guess-guess. Then again, in any prior Tekken I'd be Brawler so perhaps the sir doth protest too much. I just like piloting Nina

Jesus C so much FFXIV posting I didn't know this game was so important to people. It's an MMO where you make a fursona, basically, right?

The power & poetics of pixel art. Chances are, you have a special bond with this character, but what even ARE they? What are they made out of? Are they a creature? A robot? A cartoon? The resolution and abstraction force you to both imagine all the potentials and accept a binding ambiguity

should finish this picture, it's cool

What violent propagandistic videogames like the call of duty series made us is more complicit in the worldview of, and ultimately servile to the strong and accepting of the divinely mandated violence of the ruling class
