for some reason i replayed Other M today for the first time in like a decade. its still mid. maybe worse now that Samus returns and Dread overshadow the cool factor.

we will soon enter a generation of "artists" who cant answer the questions "how did you get that idea?" "what inspired you to make this?" because the answer will be "i asked Grok to generate 4 epic fire demons and i thought no2 looked cool so i copied it"

even if i didnt have ethical concerns about replacing concept artists and creative thinkers in favor of Chat GPT. it is artistically bankrupt to let your art be informed by an Ai's "creative input". if you do hack by default

i do find it tragic how many Souls fans just dont engage with its unique multiplayer, seeing it as both a frustration & a cheatcode. makes me wish these games were more obviously unfair & obtuse, if only to push people to seeing that as the normative experience the devs intended

An open world *actual RPG* KCD2 losing "best RPG" to a turn based linear narrative with no roleplaying mechanics is why I will always prefer genre names like 'metroidvania' or 'souls-like' with an actual coherent tether/reference to mechanical ideas built in over "RPG" "search action"

Zelda Oracle rom hack I'd like to get back to some day.

Jesus, it was so rude of The Game Awards to not just let the Expedition 33 devs stay up on stage the whole night so they didnt have to walk up and down the aisle 18 times

its actually so insane that the only enemy you can Climb in Botw is the Stone Tallus

Playing Breath of the Wild rn

Prime 4 is legit another Totk for me, another thing for me to be perpetually pissy about im afraid.

Nintendo should have just scrapped Retros Draft of Prime 4 and just allowed us to wistfully romanticize what could have been forever

worthless Prime 4 spoilers: . . . i really really hate the self sacrifice scenes with the companions, they make me feel nothing and make samus seem indifferent and pathetic. why isnt Samus Aran, famously powerful cool bountyhunter, not risking her life to save these soldiers

are people over here fighting over prime 4 too?

she's so cool

you think maybe the Canceled 2019 Prime 4 was actually goated and Takahashi just had bad tastes

was going through Sheep Lad assets looking for something and was reminded of this guy

forgot to turn off drowning for these guys

i actually care very little about games being 70-80-90 dollars. everyone indie and AAA are just charging what we think we can get away with to keep doing this. if you cant afford that you can get it second hand or borrow from a friend or do a secret third thing i cant think of rn

rewatched ep 1 & 2 of FMA 03. night and day difference, like water in the desert

the first 12 episodes of FMAB are high key awful.

my dumbass uploaded a 1 frame gif

one of the few graces for remaking your overworld *mumbles embarrassing number* times is you do get better at making pretty screens

gonna make a hardmode for Sheeplass that replaces every enemy with FoeO05b

field miniboss

holdup, this is actually a fantastic idea... holdup... holdup...

it is fire. like Zelda 1 x Etrian Odyssey

compiling evidence of Robin Poe's extensive history of plagiarism

if you're interested, that screenshot is from Legend of Lana Gaiden. www.purezc.net/index.php?pa...

another Deltarune Sword route screengrab

like these cool bones i made

a lot of my design decisions boil down to how can i make Zelda1 feel like a shitty PC game

Found out last night that someone put Basil in the Zelda2 Enhanced PC port!!!!

Respectfully, Team Cherry. 3 Dudes in AN house is not a "snail village"

I Dont think people know how much team cherries cruelty to you is part of their authorial vision. keep seeing comments like "they changed this minor thing in the patch but are ignoring the CORE ISSUES" dawg they hate you. they love hating you & pissing you off, its not going away

i hate how every Minecraft Update is "this year you get *throws dart* Ostriches. they drop *throws another dart* stuff to craft a unique slingshot for your snowman"

diveo game

tip for tas guys. if you kill an enemy on the first frame rule i think they will always drop something (untested)

if a game has achievements, i think you should only be able to get all of them if you are intimately familiar with the game. like 'ive played through it 6 times, and occasionally do randomizers' familiarity. and more people need to be comfortable with only having 12/20 achievements

oh shit we got bookmarks now, Usable site????

i intentionally did not name enemies in Sheep Lass, even in code they are just numbered 'foe 01'/'foe 02', so that people can independently come up with personal/community names. but now i worrie that half the the names will just be shit like 'Grass octorok' and 'Phalanx from Demon Souls'

i like the way my game looks

“Precept Twenty-Nine: 'Develop Your Sense of Direction'. It's easy to get lost when travelling through winding, twisting caverns. Having a good sense of direction is like having a magical map inside of your head. Very useful.” - Zote the Mighty

in team cherries next game, they need to be brave and just not include the compass

no fangamer couch guy #2 they do not call them Search Action

For the next Pokemon game They should make frustration deal a cap of 150 instead of 100. Free Ludic storytelling when every competitive scene normal build runs abused animals

Toby Fox reminding me again that i need to be more shameless with ripping shit off

"code should be self documenting" seems like a purely ego driven bit of code advice. why wouldnt i want a green line at the top quickly giving me context? that just being organized
