i'm not strong enough
So if we presume it HAS to be one or the other, when a door is open, is it on or off? Discuss.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

sitting in a call with some friends for 2 hours and then you and another both realize you've been sitting in blue prince's gallery tile
and then the discord call turns from
"ill think about this while we chat/stream/watch whatever" to "ranked competitive gallery solving"

really like the two additions to nightreign
kind of silly to see the two new boss relics though
they really had to pull a night-of-the-fathom again
i wonder if they're aiming to give players more quick slotable relics rather then give players any control over the relic randomization

made a small breakthru on hk pantheon 4
i do think i missed out a bit on hk charm builds because they made everything more expensive over time
i have been enjoying the (tools) more in silksong
though it feels like some red tools are the standouts / the most useful
its nice to equip 9 "charms"

kind of hardstuck on hk pantheon 4
finished my speedrun goals on hk and saw the various endings
i'll definitely return to try out some more of hk steel soul, sad that it doesn't have too much extra content / context like i've heard rumors about silksong
but i did move onto silksong

been playing hollow knight
first few hours: felt oppressively linear, felt like obvious dead ends
probably died twice to soul master (had zero geo)
dropped it for several years
the road to 25 charms and all the buyable notches:
felt money starved
avoided city of tears thinking id finished it prev.

i think mark here is a fantastic artist
To celebrate reaching 10K id like to do an art giveaway sometime this month, will pull the winner in a week or so and they will get a 3D sculpt of a new OC or a redesign of an existing character in my style.

i think that we can learn a lot about the respect presented to "metroid brainia" type games like tunic or outer wilds in that it isn't necessarily the quality of any individual puzzle or challenge in a game that makes it so resonant
its the ability for friends to make a recommendation and then

have a favourite final sidequest / character because they'll be following some guide on how to build the most boring team and spent dozens of hours grinding that they never even bother to finish the story before falling off of "reading the book"

i think that silksong's release schedule preventing the youtube/tiktok apocalypse of day1 tricks tips cheetz secrets meta builds etc
was a good thing actually
i don't think it hurts critical game evaluation if a article/essay is written a month or a year or ten years after the commercial release

This image actually made something click in my brain. I was already highly vocal about how much I like friction, but now I think the most noble thing a game can do is devastate the player so badly that they want to put it down.

i have thoughts on skong but i got stuck eating my hollow knight homework
and its still apparent from both times ive dropped off of hk and said, "maybe i'll just wait for skong, seems like a sequel might address my biggest critiques"
they did address them and yea i'm gonna fall off hk again soon

bought the deltarune piano album sight-unseen because the first live performance of: "my castle town", is still an emotionally resonant& i return to it often
accidentally heard a bit of bigshot
the vibes were off
just listened to field of hopes and dreams
the vibes are incredibly dire
