You know, this place is significantly less toxic than that other website but… I’m just not feeling it, I’m sorry. My mental health is in the toilet as is and social media isn’t gonna help.
I just came back to bluesky after a months-long hiatus. Not ten minutes in and I’m already depressed by what I’m seeing.

Why did I come back to this website

Just post after post after post of this country being broken beyond repair but I’m in no position to do anything about it

Final Fantasy IV is a game I hate more and more every time I play it. It has a strong start but about a third of the way through its plot relies entirely on death fake-outs and mind control betrayals with increasingly diminishing returns and drops the ball with its villain.

What petition do I need to sign so that if the base version of a game goes on sale, and the deluxe version with all the DLC goes on sale, then the DLC itself should go on sale as well?

Thanks.

Pokémon’s peak lasted from the middle of Gen 4 to the end of Gen 5. Platinum and Black and White were the best ones.

I really need to focus up and finish Forspoken, so that I can keep grinding away at my massive multi-console backlog, but then I remember the greatest game of all time, Final Fantasy XIV, exists and just end up playing that instead. I may have a problem.

Unpopular motivation hack for drawing:

Start drawing immediately, even if it feels impossible.

After 15 minutes, your brain will recognize the difficult task and create dopamine to help you keep going.

Agonizing endlessly before the drawing doesn't help your creative process.

I say this all the time, but AA games are SO missed.

IMO Nintendo still does well here, since they exist in their little bubble that they still make a variety, but I feel like I am never gonna see another Gauntlet: Dark Legacy or Shadow of Destiny until after GTA6 inevitably bursts the AAAA bubble

This actually made me laugh, I love that you can randomly roll up on Snake creeping around in his cardboard box in Metal Gear Solid 2.

Game companies piss me off so badly, man. Every time they trot out the 'no one wants to play old games' I want to grab these execs by the nose, shove their faces against a computer screen and show them eBay vintage game prices. Or how when they *do* release collections, the physical ones sell out

My tier list of the mainline, numbered Final Fantasy games. I am not taking constructive criticism.

There has never been a bad Kirby game. Certainly some C-tier ones but never one I’d just straight-up call bad. Can’t even say that about Mario and Zelda.

its insane to me that there's still a sizable subset of people that make the petty distinction between "video game music" and "real music", as if a composer's musical integrity hinges entirely on their proximity to mario

Pirate all retro video games. Illegally download whatever retro game you want to play, use flash carts, burn discs, mod your consoles, install emulators, keep hard drives filled with ROMs, share files with friends and family.

Please take this to heart, I’m begging you
I think retweeting and dunking on the worst takes possible is exactly how you make this space less enjoyable and start to feel like Twitter. Strongly encourage everyone to take a "mute user and move on" approach if you want to keep the vibes right.
