Older games used to mix up gameplay mechanics a lot with unique mini-games and missions with custom mechanics you only used once or twice. Today, it seems five mission types are just repeated dozens of times throughout the course of a game.

Peter Stillman says Fatman built an atomic bomb at the age of 10, which sounds ridiculous, but did you know there was a Boy Scout who once built a homemade neutron source at the age of 17?

I want to give a shout out to a recent episode of @resonantarc.bsky.social's podcast for touching on something I talked about at PCA National Conference last year: how the evolution of #FinalFantasy graphics from pixel art to near photo-real 3D changed a LITERARY experience into a CINEMATIC one. 🧵

I haven't spoken in any significant way about the FF7R project in nearly FIVE years, and people are *still* mad. I've been around gaming discourse since the dawn of the internet, and I've never seen anything like it. This was on a completely unrelated video. This is why we rarely talk FF anymore.
