People keep talking about "attrition challenges" but knowing where the important rooms are and rushing straight to them can cut short most dungeon.

Plus common enemies have been nerfed into the ground since the snes.

Even worse is that he bases a large part of his "legitimacy" on following developer intent only to make his own rules after.

Like you can argue that playing a specific way can make a game more fun but don’t try to use authorial intent when you have to pick and choose.

You could argue booster pack are more evil because they have an even more direct monetary value.
Thankfully back in my days I think most kids got second hand card so we didn’t care about this kind of things much, but today you have influencer watched by kids making them aware of their monatary value

Gacha games are mostly piles of meta progression with an usually sub par gameplay behind it all. Even when you "pay" for a play, you’re mostly pay for the ressources playing can give you

I think that one of the core difference between old arcade games and f2p stuff is that most arcade games lacked permanent progression : You paid to play games.

it’s on old comparison dating back when mobile game were a pay by play system.
I said it a bit back when pokémon shuzzle released before playing more of them and understanding that the comparison really didn’t work.

Yeah, people have hosted leaderboards for the scoring mode of dkc1 gba port and it literally have a completely broken level.

If you only played the snes version of dkc you only played 25% of it I don’t make the rules 😔

It gets funnier when you consider that dribbling, the most iconic basketball move, was originally an exploit.

Not sure if i’m gonna watch the video but considering the first one said "oh yeah by the way if you use the elemental shield and uhh clearly unfair scoring methods you’re disqualified" I’m not surprised.

IDK if it’s a good way to frame it but it feels like the game despite being on a grid is too eager to consider your character between squares. Like you’d eather want to cheat a bit or a bit of magnetism, or being able to use wall to realign your character like in a zelda game.

You can always go the time crisis route of having both a arcade mode, maybe a side campaign with recycles assets, and a bonus misson mode. So you both have #content AND an arcade mode nonetheless.

Getting mogged by the game lol, I wonder what kind of high score the other have.
January 22, 2026 at 8:48 PM
Yeah I thought about that and some people deliberatly use similar stuff on themselves so you can say this can have a small room but that’s still a slippery slope
The service can become less useful once the users are "in" (duolingo). Or just not be as useful as the advertising promised (kawashima)
January 21, 2026 at 8:21 PM
OK but I’m tempted to point most F2P retention stuff like daily log in as a counter point.

Every stage you have to pick ONE OF THREE and it’s shit like "the grenade guy now have collisions damage" "the shooters are faster" "multikill get more buggy"

Boghog capitulating in front of the Flow State™ and making a patch NERFING the game, probably the biggest betrayal of 2026 😔

(don’t use sub-lang en, use sub-lang all, you’ll always catch the subtitles if it’s not registered as en and sometimes non english languages are also customized)

In case anyone see this post, use --sub-langs "all" instead to get all the languages

Metroid prime hunters you might find people, but all the metroids fans that I know treat 2 multiplayer as a punchline.

yt-dlp --skip-download --write-sub --sub-lang en --sub-format srv3 [insert url here]

We can really do more than just suffer another data deletion; especially for file that light !

(if it can’t find the subtitle, try yt-dlp --skip-download --list-sub to see if it’s coded in another language)

Theses files only weight a few kilobytes, even if you don’t have the space to save videos, you CAN save at least that.

What even is the point of manually drawing a map if there is no teleporter trap ?
