It's weird most of my excitement about new tech is "will it fit my giant hands and not make them hurt after 20 minutes?"
Steam controller 2 might be one of the ugliest things ever, but it looks like it could be one of the most comfortable things to hold and that does more for me than it should...

I can't find a good screenshot, but from memory Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song's shop interface:
"I'd like to see this.
I'd like to see that.
I'd like to see that over there."

Happy Halloween! Some out of context cut-scenes I did for #LookOutside. Hard to believe they are all for the same game. Hope everyone enjoys all my very spoilery work in 2.0! #pixelart

Hit the "add coyote time" portion of re-learning some code stuff today, and somewhere I can hear the tiny audible groan of @kayin.moe
(I'm indifferent to it, but prefer more deliberate controlling games to not have it honestly, just imagine GNG with coyote time...)

Imagining a world where they remake Terranigma, but due to an unfortunate cavalcade of errors the entire first print run has "Terraligma" on the cover

When you play games you can...you can slow down, you know?
You don't have to finish it in three ten hour long sittings, I think a lot of discourse comes from being in a mad dash, some kind of rush to be "one of the first"
why?

Games are allowed to be difficult. Don't buy games immediately because everyone else did. And so on and so on, again.

Next time someone says a Hollow Knight/Silksong boss is peak I'm going to do that thing from Clockwork Orange and hold their eyes open while they're forced to look at hours upon hours of footage of bosses from Treasure games

Been posting about vidya a LOT today with people, just thinking about the medium lately...
I think failing-forward as a mechanic is something that fascinates me. Mostly because there's so much potential to move forward, but VERY few devs make the cost of doing so also interesting.

I see a lot of "game respecting player time" discourse going around again, and really I think it should be "I value the time I have more than what this game is asking of me"
It's not unreasonable for a game to ask a player to do something within it's rules, but you gotta be open to the engagement

I was looking closer at that Zero Parades trailer the other day cause I had a gut feeling about it.
If you needed more reasons why ZA/UM is a shell of it's former self, I'm pretty sure a jacket housing a hand without a wrist and a *squints* coin-slot on a bird??? Are definitely not human drawn

The most intriguing thing about FF13 and it's sequels to this day is the hotpants wearing behemoths. Did someone make the hotpants for the behemoths? Did they steal the hotpants? Or are behemoths in that universe simply born into the hotpants?
We may never know...

Soon as you create an in game list of challenges, the challenge goes from a discovery to a commodity, a transaction; "I do this, I get reward"
It feels like we have to be told to keep playing rather than engaging with something for the love of it, this isn't exactly a new argument but...
