watched Fitzcarraldo and it's fascinating how it's a movie about obsessive commitment to an idea feels like it's coming apart at the seams because it's obsessively committed to it's big setpiece

new PB in rolling bird got to Stage 5, if I can get to Stage 10 I will consider the game 'complete' because it loops and I'm not super into score chasing

links sprite in ALTTP fucking sucks, how many colors do you need on a single character, why are the hat and tunic different shades of green, why is hair weirdly asymmetrical, why does he have five'o'clock shadow, why do his pupils project past his eyes nintendo had no idea what to do with 16 bit yet

I'm not a retro hardware purist I'm a retro hardware pervert; the difference being that even thought I have a SFC with a flash cart and a 32" CRT I'm emulating The Ninja Warriors Again so I can look at it on my PC monitor

i feel like a lot of gamers use 'game design speak' in the same kind of maladaptive unhealthy way that people tend to use 'therapy speak'. It actually balances your humours to sometimes just say that some shit you hate is fucking dogshit

one of the best parts of Leone's Westerns is the lens is always sympathetic to the bandit without moralizing for the bandit. Interesting tension vs the tendency towards 'sympathetic monster/mobster/bandit etc who never actually does anything nasty'

the willful helplessness people have with emulation/tech irritates me a bit because I really am not all that computer literate, but I simply approach any problem with a caveman's methodicalness and it will yield

I love a good official release and buy M2 ports of shit that isn't even super interesting to me (thats how i fell in love with Gradius) but we gotta kill the lazy narcs in peoples head demanding a convenient official steam release. Realistically it will never happen for hundreds of fantastic games

I'll always be grateful to The Outer Worlds because the clarifying badness of it made me realize I don't actually really like RPGs at a conceptual level I just happen to like a few individual examples

Gamers are anti-AI as long as it's about a game they already disliked otherwise it's an "understandable use of AI"

I've always been extremely bad at social media (I had a twitter account for 8 years and averaged like 5 posts a year) so I'm happy to say I've been consistently lowering the quality of discourse on this website for a year now. It's actually pretty fun!

I banned myself from using the word 'friction' in regards to videogames because every time it's ever been trotted out it just leads to an argument about what the fuck 'friction' actually means which makes it a worse than useless piece of terminology. We say 'force that resists motion' now

For whatever reason, people in Japan like this shit, even though it's a button-masher. (Camera zooms out and I'm playing Tower of Druaga stretched to 16:9 on a laptop)

making Doom maps is interesting because Doom guy is so strong inherently simply because he can go fast that you need to work very proactively to prevent the powerful winstate of holding left strafe

it might not be as good as RE5 mercs but it's silly as hell that RE6 merc is the best Hong Kong Action style shooter in a world where there's even an official John Woo shooter

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves. A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

I am once again thinking of the shot for shot homages in Red Dead Redemption 2 to The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Crawford that only serve the purpose of making a videogame that had more labourers than the great pyramid look like shit by comparison

when Nazis try to 'claim' something there's often a knee jerk impulse to declare that thing was actually super progressive all along when often it extremely was not. But like you don't have to cede anything to nazis even if it RWcoded. You don't need to buy into the model that if it's RW it's theirs

gonna see John Woo's The Killer in theaters in a couple days... probably my favorite Woo, Hardboiled has the best single action scene but The Killer has the melodrama advantage

every time I hear a dude cover a song written by a woman and clumsily switch all the pronouns around I think of John Prine writing and recording a fucking country song from a woman's perspective in 1971, the first line literally being 'I am an Old Woman'.
