The year is 2011. I am an adolescent. I want to play Minecraft. I do not know how to port forward.

In the before times edmontonian game developers were forced to portage between bodies of water to get to their studios. they made incredible Canadian classic video games such as

- hockey (NES)
- hockey (real)
- Acadian Mario
- Bilingual Scribblenauts
- Don’t Starve (real)
- hockey (xbox)

Whoa. That new Lucario form.

Speaking from a Pokemon design perspective? I hate it. Way too much happening

But. In a vacuum? Just judging it as I would some random fursona or something?

…I kinda love it

you know something i'm noticing is a very genuine correlation between people being extremely cool and being really into sonic the hedgehog

i'm not really into sonic the hedgehog so noticing this made me quite sad

when i make a banger post like this ur supposed to click on the little heart underneath it
i love having overly personal interpretations of art that had absolutely nothing to do with the author's intention

i love being the main character. i love twisting poetry into mythologies about my personal narrative. i LOVE making things mean their exact opposite. i LOVE masturbating

phrased something I’ve felt for years and failed to articulate this respectfully
I feel like the thing I need to say constantly for every game difficulty discussion is "There are always tradeoffs". "Well what about this game!" *there are always tradeoffs. "Well what about the joys of this completely uncompromising, game?" Cool, but *also with tradeoffs*.

took me forever to get not a lot done today, the hours just melted

still progress, still finished stuff that needed to be finished, just slow

in regards to this, i think 100% of games would just be straight up better by diminishing or totally removing these elements. they are an insidious but expected part of modern game design
