listen to the Air Ride Machines die

my friends and I played Yapyap tonight
the Steam Next Fest is actually so important you NEED to be playing these games man

It’s kind of too bad that in this demo the hairball is used in exceedingly uninteresting ways. Long ass tubes that serve as a connection between two completely disconnected pieces of level geometry? My favorite! Save some Mario Galaxy for the rest of us!

I *do* enjoy the hairball in 4D, though– it’s the only part of the gameplay that I enjoy. Doing cool slope jumps and getting bounced around off walls if you lose control makes for a pretty decent “core” of a game. It was cool learning from replays that you can do this, for example:

There’s not like, interesting geometry that requires you to vary your approach– it literally is just multiple big gaps. Look, you can even do it with the tank controls on! It’s the same shit!

When I was playing this last night, my friend hatefully called the game “gap simulator” and after a few hours of consideration I think that phrase is really apt. Every major skip you can do that doesn’t involve some weird-ass hairball bouncing is jumping across a Really Big Gap in a straight line.

Yeah, I started playing this game too. She was watching me do this one!

Silksong hasn't been life-changing for me, there's plenty of stuff in it that I've been feeling blasé about, but this boss is some 10/10 shit, it's EXCELLENT.

Team Cherry does know ball-- I didn't think they had it in 'em.

@lakespirit.bsky.social has become "the Dragon Quest friend" who got really into Dragon Quest 1 so I'm taking up the challenge and becoming the "Final Fantasy friend" now.

Peep the naming scheme as I punch Garland in the face and he dies:
