A perfect 30-something angelic butterfly who always wants to tell you about games you haven't heard of. Media team lead at Null Signal Games. Streaming games you haven't heard of at twitch.tv/junipertheory . Find me online at butterflytheory.site .

at this point the only reason i haven't completely deleted my twitter is becuase there's a lot of japanese game devs who only update about their game there. and by a lot i mean i basically check there once a month to see what gobou's up to and who the next queen will be

anyways this post is about my very silly dream of creating a tier list for how racist arcade racing games are because every single one of them has a "mysterious lost ruins" track or "jungle island" track and they all SUCK in fascinating ways

one thing i find really important is being able to criticize the media you love for being gross, problematic, outdated, or just plain offensive while still appreciating what makes it good. it's a good way to fight against the puritanical desire to have all your media Free From Sin

can't stop thinking about the voice nicholas cage does in bad lieutenant. at the start of the film he's doing a relatively normal voice with maybe a bit of an accent but he just keeps getting more deranged as the film goes on. by the end he sounds like a fucking muppet. incredible movie

Disney claims that video creation with genai will be the "future" and "imagine any world you want" and yet when I dreamed of a more beautiful world and asked chatgpt to re-edit all marvel films in the same style as ang Lee's hulk film they sent men to my house to shoot me with guns. Damn liars.

every once in a while i'll be online and someone i follow will go "outrun 2006 is the greatest video game ever made". it might be the same person every time. but i want to understand. i'm playing outrun 2006 coast 2 coast! and also STABBING MYSELF WITH KNIVES COME WATCH www.bimbo.city

I wonder: what was the first 3d game to do the like... bullet hell/danmaku big orby bullet patterns? Lots of games have had "projectile as big orb" but recently i've been seeing a lot of like... Bullet Patterns. The first place I saw them was returnal... was it used before that?

last night i was looking at games coming out and found a porn game coming out this week with a huge bit of text that said: EVERY FETISH COVERED and i can't stop thinking about like. really? all of them? every single fucking one? you got ALL of them???

me: look i love that type games but "metroidbrania" is such a bad term, you took another genre name and added a normal term to it, and the games that are part are so varied, cmon. we can come up with something better also me: yeah my favorite genre is the CarPG. RPGs where you play as cars. uhhuh

Oh WOW. A while back, I was looking at famitsu lists of the best video games ever. I remember it was all what i'd expect from Japan, lotta dragon quest, lotta Zelda, stuff I knew... And also this. Sitting there which I had never heard of. I've always wanted to see what was up with it!!

I'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

anyways if anything interesting happened this weekend I've been in netrunner streaming land running streams and not had a phone or computer I could use so you gotta tell me.

today was a massive, msasive success for me personally i spent 2 days struggling with a fancy mac computer trying to get it to work for streaming reasons and failing as it broke over and over adn over today i finally said fuck it and plugged my shitty linux thinkpad in AND IT WORKED

Update: the downside of netrunner being full of open source weirdos is sometimes the team behind your tournament software is one person in Germany (who we all love and appreciate) who is asleep the upside is your players include a bunch of coders now working desperately to fix things in wild ways

people don't know this, but if you can find the latch somewhere on my body and pull it open you can see that I'm actually just 27 chibi robo type guys pretending to be a human.
