looked up the etymology of "doujin" and it literally means "same-person", as in denoting shared interests amongst people, while "indie" is short for independence, for solitude and iconoclasm.... really makes you think (smokes bubble pipe)
You know what lets let the studios have "indie", it's time to make doujin games

Sorry I do need to also quote this again just to comment on the second half of this post because it needs addressing. Every artist wants a guarantee to make a living off their work.

I’m going to get in trouble for this, but fuck it.
I’ve been at this a long time. Games culture wants the spoils of cultural sophistication without doing the work. It wants a guarantee that the intention to make work guarantees not just a living but a thriving one. It is a medium for children.

I haven't seen this talked about much on Bluesky, probably because there's like near zero hip-hop representation on this website and I feel a good amount of people would pearl-clutch about copyright infringement. But this is another important wedge between Spotify and artists
I've talked about Whosampled before as the site where snitching got Return Of The Soul removed from streaming services. It is now being officially looped into Spotify via this SongDNA feature that presents as artist-supportive!

Seems pretty bleak that Dems can't manage to score on a pedophile who is literally demolishing the White House. These people have extremely easy jobs and are just hellbent on not doing them under any circumstances.

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist
Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

So the easy answer is 'no', especially if you're trying to build literacy toward newer titles. Even for more niche genre like shmups, they've useful and part of the learning process.
That said, they can still be huge trap and savestating through a game is like watching a movie in the background

@kayin.moe so in the context of building up gameplay literacy and the like, do you think a full appreciation of an older title may have to preclude savestates and rewind? tough pill to swallow if so

Ideally, a boss runback maintains some of the initial tension of encountering the boss, and also offers some space to think and strategize.
Respawning right in front of a boss means no time to think and therefore no time to adapt, encouraging a "beat head against wall" approach to play.

If a Democrat calls Republicans “fascists,” he basically just signed their death warrants.
If a Republican calls Democrats “Marxists,” or “the enemy from within,” or “vermin,” or “human scum,” he’s just trying to fire up the crowd.

With rising neo-puritan censorship regimes, it's never been more valuable to be open about being a pervert. They start with porn because they know you're embarrassed to defend it. They use that weakness against you to police your life.
