I am Thrilled to be chilling and platforming around Lost Verdania. I want more games to embrace this juxtaposition of chill vibes and zero chill platforming.
A thought I had was: imagine recording the button inputs of a player winning the first one and then implementing an entirely different game with the constraint that this sequence of button inputs wins that game too. Like, maybe it's a rhythm game or something. Mechanically the same?
Are you just now discovering Tim Rogers' reviews? I'm so excited for you. His review of final fantasy six is among my favourite pieces of writing.

Someday all of this incredible gonzo games journalism will be gone. Someone aught publish a print version or something.

Oh that being said though: people are not born knowing what's up, and my heart goes out to folks who were maybe socialized with one set of values only to realize later in life that shit's fucked up. I sympathize and it would suck to have a mountain of regrets where your fond memories once were.
X, get out here your breakfast is ready!
I love this. America is still a meritocracy, but also nature determines everything, but also conservative values are wrong.
I enjoy that even in their admission that maybe conservative values are not great they are blaming nature. Like, maybe if they'd had better genetics or a differently shaped skull they too could have known these things... Maybe they just worshipped the wrong God!?
I tried watching it but I couldn't get very far :/ yak, deculture!
Which macross are you watching?
Yeah, exactly. Ah, the 90s. Remember Jar Jar?
I remember watching the movie. They start it all like "there are these crystals" and then cut to having found the crystals "ok now fight the last boss". Just an absolutely terrible videogame adaptation.
I implemented something like aabb in Super Plumber Bros using just vertices, rather than full edges (I'd have to go back and read the code to explain exactly how it worked). There were many bugs, but one I loved was that you kind of cling to the underside of blocks as you fall past them.
The Japanese version of "can you pet the dog?".
They lived like noble savages.
But I kept the statue uwu
I paid to have built exactly because I wanted to tear it down.
Wait are you in Japan right now? I'm in Japan right now. Are you in Japan? Right now!?
If you've never eaten a tote bag, it's not too late to start!
What are you doing for power? I have a super famicom but wasn't able to get it going in North America. Maybe I got a lemon, but I've also heard that our power is too much.

Normally I'd say Spiders Georg for the culture, but since somebody likely beat me to it have this runner up.
It has rpg elements. G is for Gorilla.
You've tasted the forbidden fruit. Life will never be the same.
