The end result of Ease of Use super smooth serotonin producing SO ADDICTIVE game design, is that most people can get the same effect for free by jerking off.

not really interested in the way bluepoint is being eulogised as a singular artist, to mourn the products they could have made for Sony, the games they could have done bad remakes of. the tragedy here is that people lost their jobs. it’s always that people have lost their jobs.

can t wait for woke to return so i can have a job again

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

It would be nice I could get ONE fucking win at some point. Y'know, one thing that just doesn't end up sucking. It's been two years of rock bottom and being kicked in the face by life and it just keeps going.

Seeing Wizards of The Coast basically capitulate to the worst kind of people (Weirdo speculators) with how they're handling Magic's Commander format is the closest I've ever got to do one of those angry car-rant videos. Sadly I do not own a car, america-themed hat and sunglasses.

Star Trek Into Darkness is kinda incredible because it's a movie with all the structural flaws of AAA games, without any of the good bits, and, y'know, without being a video game. I don't know how that even happens.

rpgmaker definitely isn't the right tool for everyone, but I think using opinionated pre-baked tools to make some games would be very instructive to a lot of folks setting out to make their epic custom dream game. they're a much lower-stakes way to learn important lessons like "how to tell a story"

Absolutely livid that the CIA hasn't tried to radicalize me into doing a mass shooting. I'm right here! I wake up every day thinking I'm not even a person and I should die! What? I'm not depressed, trans and nihilistic enough for you?

The funniest thing about transition is still to this day the fact that I had to get what's basically Frank Raynold's "Doesn't Have Donkey Brains" certificate in order to transition.

Been thinking about Highguard and the impermanence of games these days (which is to say, moreso that usual)

Literally every time I poop and time comes to have to wipe my butt my first thought is "If I was living in flinstones times this is when I get eaten by a jaguar"

Becoming a creationist because I can't conceive how human didn't evolve a self cleaning butt if evolution was real. Not having to wipe after pooping would have been a massive evolutionary advantage!

Post a banger that isn't in English I go back to this EP a lot and the fact that youtube says it came out a decade ago has just turned me to dust: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHdg...

Bryan Danielson: The doctor told me if I wrestle again I die so I'm not gonna do that! Bryan Danielson, One day later: *Googles: "Is dieing so bad as they say?"*

Both riverdale and Stargate SG-1 represent heaven as some sort of retro styled American diner. Therefore we can assume they happen in the same universe.

People are weird, in that I'm pretty sure almost everyone who's ever seen me agrees that I'm grotesque looking and should probably die because of it, but it's not polite to say it, not to build a society that allows easy access to suicide, so people like me just end up stuck in this weird liminality

Remember when jughead died and went to heaven and we saw heaven and heaven was a retro style diner

Doctror said i have to abort him :(

HEY THAT'S EARLY PS2 ACTION/ADVENTURE PRIMAL!

Video games are no longer just pac man and pong anymore... Romancing SaGa (1992) will make you Feel Thing (the main feeling being "why won't this bird stop chasing me" but also "why is this bird so fast")

Romancing SaGa is a very good video gamee,.

sometimes people get angry when I "destroy" magic cards with stamps I am reminded of paul desilva's reasoning why old school players sign cards at events

British expats when the brexit hits:

I need to make risotto more often

Love waking up wanting to kill myself lol

Is it just me or this vampire from Romancing SaGa (1992) feels very Morrigan-esque? Darkstalker released in 1994, might this be a direct inspiration for the character's design?

I wonder, what would our opinion of nazi Germany be if we had access to bags of tweets from civilians going "I'm tired of seeing my government's atrocities on this website. I can't do anything about it + it's affecting mental health" It's normalised today, but to me it never reads as a good look.

For the second year in a row I'm lacking in material for my end of year top list, as i've only listened to 20-30 things released this year (yay depression), but just for fun, amongst those the two stands out were definitely the Telethon's Suburban Electric and the new Heart Attack Man record.

Northen italy gets insane stolen valor from foreigners thinking "Italian food" is a national monolith, when most northern recipes are like "We made a soup by boiling a block of lard and some grass that we found growing on that rock"

Honestly having been unable to make stuff for almost 2 years now, feels like a piece of me has been forcibly cut off. Like losing a leg or something. It's not good and I'm not ok and there's no realistic way it can be fixed.

I miss making video games

IM FUCKIN SORRY IS THIS REALLY WHAT WERE CALLING THE MCGUFFIN I SUPER PRINCESS PEACH?!?!

video games = art www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRgL...

*posting on twitter* oh ho, I’ve made a wry observation. Better make sure a bunch of pedophiles see it

I don't think imperialism is bad because it eventually hurts the citizens of the imperial core. it's a stunning proposition, I know, but perhaps we should consider that other people outside of the Core are also human beings.

In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999. Here is the entire sequence.

Sily goblin!

Ngl not thrilled about what the guy whose last game felt like it played itself on autopilot considers to be "the next evolution of jrpg"

Been showing Stargate SG-1 to a friend, and we got jumpscared by a honest-to-god clip show episode. We forgot this was a thing that happened normally and regularly in television.
