Learning that toby fox is a rpg freak gives a lot more context to undertale and deltarune than just "he liked earthbound"

Hey do you ever play a game like Hades and someone points out how much better it would play if you moved like special to a shoulder button and you're like yeah absolutely and then you never ever ever change it because that'd be weird

I thought this was a photoshop fake but the replies are saying it’s real and I genuinely don’t wanna believe that cause this is insane to put in this type of game and just another end result of fornite effect on culture

thing i run into a lot (pervert transgender writers out there this is a CALL to ACTION!!!)

some things may brutally suck but you owe it to yourself to find things that don't suck, and to fight to preserve them with everything you have

Yup, they do this to trans folks constantly.

"it's okay to admit when you dont know something" is 500% true but people (general) love to talk to you like you're a moron if you aren't on the same mental page they are and the desire to escape feeling like you're devolving into a baboon in front of someone is at times intense beyond rationality

more game remakes should pull a metroid zero mission and include an emulated version of the original game that unlocks out of nowhere when you beat the game

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

New indie cartoon pilot from a former Disney showrunner is garnering 2010s Steven Universe fandom discourse again. With only one episode out. That's crazy man

honestly glad Metal SLug is just in a state rn to just get stuff like Tactics instead of actual mainline games cause i can't imagine anyone tackling making a new MS game that plays closer to old ones but having that immense pressure on themselves to make one with the same energy as the SNK games

One of the most important pieces of superhero media ever. We have to remember that, in 1941, pieces of Superman that we currently consider crucial were still being developed and nailed down. The first few Fleischer shorts feel remarkably whole.

"Standing kick" conveys what the move is much better than "5B" (though I'd prefer "Neutral Kick"), especially to newer/younger players. Or there's always Fraud Krew Notation.

There is also of course the bigger problem that we live under a brutal capitalistic grind. Art has to make lots of money, and people don't have time to engage with art.

Blegh, very tired of this take The problem is not too many games. Not everyone needs to play every game. Not every game SHOULD need to make a huge sales splash. There is a problem with getting games to their audiences. It's a curation, literacy, storefront, scope, and legacy games culture problem.

So, recently I was researching what 3D melee action games relied on defensive actions or not, and for games without a FAQ or uploaded manual I had to rely on YouTube videos. Only videos you'd get of lesser known games not being played by a neanderthal is if you searched for ALL BOSSES NO DAMAGE

Kneesocks' terms

nothing feels worse than seeing someone waste a lead in a fighting game cuz they felt like they HAD to kill the other guy

~Lugia Sit~ She thinks you're cute :D Anyway, was in the mood for internal cumshots so enjoy! Also goodness Sep is already flying by too fast, Silk Song then Slime Rancher. Aaaaaaaaa

The fact that when they made their videos, it then became almost impossible for his foundation to continue talking to potential donors is irony on a level I've scarcely seen before.

I saw this going around. Spoke to Henley at Kinky Fridays. The story is a bit more complicated

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

Start putting their feet to the fire again.

couldn't decide whether to draw Rouge or Ivy so I did both >w>

difficult charts require strategizing w one's Real World Body in a way ive only ever seen with oldschool rts controls. It is much more than just the base "wow my button presses sync to the song!" maybe it would be interesting, as a designer & critic, to try seeing those games thru that lens ...

As a lapsed rhythm game casual i think they (or, at least, iidx & ddr & stepmania) are closer in brainspace to STG & action-puzzlers in terms of stressing the player's ability to do things precisely. Bangin chunes give context to those actions the way cool explosions & shit contextualize dot-dodging

you THINK the most iconic part of dark souls is ornstein and smough, but you know in your heart of hearts that you have MUCH more vivid memories of those two goddamn archers on the narrow walkway just before them

Found out Takahiro Kai; who did one of the better songs for Superstars worked on crossworlds for most of the soundtrack youtu.be/h-6Yy_6bLv4?...

my new shmup's different shot types are extremely unique. we have a fast ship with a narrow shot, a slow ship with a wide shot, and a medium ship with a shot that, uh, aims in the direction that you're moving! and when you slow down, the direction locks! no one has ever done that before

A small preview of what Everything will be like in the next 10 years

I think anime isn't horny enough

Which may seem odd to say given all the hoopla about fanservice but like, where are all the asses at. Im not talking about panty shots or emphasis placed on average skinny asses like keijo, I mean some big sir mix a lot worthy big butts. Very common in the art scene but near entirely absent in anime

dude that's fuckin aguman man

For those wondering, here's notable names attached to it Liev Schreiber Mayim Bialik Gene Simmons Debra Messing Sharon Osbourne Jerry O’Connell Howie Mandel Jennifer Jason Leigh Ynon Kreiz, Chairman & CEO, Mattel Haim Saban, Chairman & CEO, Saban Tara Strong Lisa Edelstein Michael Rapaport

Sonic Adventure 2

I also feel like DeS has some of the best boss designs for an EXPERIENCE like, you only have like a few of what would be considered modern souls bosses but you get so many weird dudes with such a weird spread of gimmicks and they're mostly part puzzle/strategy and vibes.

Doomerism is fed shit. Hope and action terrify them.

this is my game of the year honestt to fucking god

Like, MKWorld doesnt even reward or incentivize playing its single player modes at all outside of MICROSCOPIC decals. Meanwhile crossworlds actually has a litany of cross-mode incentives including customizable car parts and decals as well as actual mechanical build options!

Ain't no saving it now man, Crossworlds blows mkwork out of the water lmaooo. It's literally got a more robust set of singleplayer options AND better racing mechanics. Maybe next time just make good courses instead of wasting everyone's time with an open world.

Bring back rude enemies combinations that want to fucking kill you

the cynical part of me says that this is because boss fights in single-player games make for really clear Youtube/Streamer Content especially with stuff like the All Bosses No Damage compilations or the "can I do this boss with cinderblocks glued to my thumbs" challenges or w/e

Okay not going to wrap this into the other thread but OH MY GOD THANK YOU'VE BEEN FUCKIN SAYING THIS lol in like 2010 we were getting think pieces like "Should games even have bosses? Are bosses jusr ARCHAIC DESIGN??" and now somehow they're the only parts of the game people think are real.
