Hope you’re feeling ok, it’s a mistake I’ve made and it isn’t a lot of fun!

This convo I had highlights the difference in what "respect your time" means in games.

A lot of players want to trade time for in-game progress. It's purely transactional: 1 hour = 1 progress

But I want to feel like my actions matter i.e. what I do with time creates progress, not time itself.

This weekend, I played Thoth. The game lasted about an hour and a half and It burrowed itself into my brain. I decided to attempt to remake the core loop in 10 hours, I also did it in a game engine I haven't used. Godot was a blast to work with

All this to say play Thoth!

I often feel like Toaplan’s work is the exact right shape to fit into the block toy of my soul. I don’t even like single screen platformers, but found myself resetting for at least an hour the other day on Snow Bros MD.

This game was a labor of love spearheaded by one weirdo and it has so many cool tricks in it. People who just want to do their weird thing are the saviors of the universe shmuplations.com/battlemania/

The stylised ‘K’ used in early Konami print ads always bugged me…

It’s rare for a movie from decades ago to still be as scary now as it was when it was released, but this one still knocks me out of my seat every time I watch it

in the opening of roland emmerich's 1998 Godzilla movie, a homeless guy sees Godzilla come out of the ocean and does the cartoon "blink, then throw my bottle of booze off the pier" routine. couldn't film that today, due to woke.
