there are 86 people credited on Ocarina if you want to know how absolutely ludicrously, untenably massive every game has become
Hyrule Interviews@hyruleinterviews.bsky.social · 2d agoMiyamoto on “acting like a producer” and relinquishing creative control on Ocarina of Time, 1999. Source: Shmuplations #Zelda #OcarinaofTimeQuote #MiyamotoQuote shmuplations.com/ocarinaoftime/
![PEOPLE:
- Shigeru Miyamoto, age 46. Producer of Ocarina of Time.
QUOTE:
Miyamoto: From the start [of Ocarina of Time development] I tried to act like a producer: “Do whatever you want, as long as it's interesting.” However, midway through the second year, it started to feel like if I wasn't physically there on the floor, they might never wrap things up.
At that point, the different sub-teams … had been working independently and in parallel, so my work was less about adding my own ideas as it was bringing together and consolidating what everyone else had done. Because a game this large is the combined work of a huge number of people, it's not my place to come in and try to exert my own control over everything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreifjf5b5v35vwxaqlkn2v27lvgcx62wpclvbklbxm6zn3suq2wvjiy)
Every so often I remember the Chinese emperor whose last line of defence was basically water magic
this is only half a joke, what good is 'art' where you can't feel any individuals effect on it because it's so watered down and restricting by hyper-intrusive corporate mandate
we should bring back 'are games art?' discourse but only about AAA Giga Mega games
the thing i dont get about super sonic themes in the 2d sonic games is that by design the transformation lasts at least 50 seconds, usually longer because the player will be picking up rings, and none of the songs even up through superstars have a loop that even meets 50 seconds let alone exceeds it
These people are scrubs. They might as well be complaining about wave dashing. They don't want to develop their abilities and resent those who do.

battle shonen looney tunes short where bugs takes off his weighted gloves and they slam into the ground with a resounding crash. daffy, unimpressed, does the same with his weighted collar and drops it right on his foot.

Time to remind all the Hot Rod haters that Ultra Magnus was so incompetent it took him two attempts to put the Matrix into his chest cavity
thanks for reminding me to repost agreeable grunt

is this the first time "blade" has been uncapitalized in the subtitles of an important cutscene since egil got stabbed in the shoulder we really are doing the next-gen xc1 fresh start thing if "blade" isn't a proper noun and can safely be used as a normal one without confusion
"Hahahah you voice Toad? Like TOAD Toad?" No, not that Toad. But don't worry, I felt the same way, so here:
Sean Chiplock 🟡 🔜 Animeverse Fest Reno (Nevada)@sonicmega.bsky.social · 4d agoHappy to say I was contracted to voice a number of folks in the new #Wolverine game now out on PS5! You can hear me as Toad, one of the major enemy guard types, and even within some of the cinematic as folks who get MESSILY dispatched on-screen! This was a great experience of showcasing my range!~
the old world came in a fluffer. the new world struggles to pass the autofilter. now is the time of monsters.
does every dragon quest game have an attack where the goofy guy summons all the other goofy guys in the game to do a big attack or is it only the good ones

postwar good end mechsplo fic where a hound and her handler retire to a cosy life of working on little engineering projects and eating a lot of cheese together and it gradually becomes more and more obvious that it's just Wallace and Gromit
My husband and I have a running joke about him pissing on my mad ideas (I freely admit to having a lot of them). One day I texted him a listing for a kitten who was up for adoption with the words ‘put your dick away’. Except I did not text my husband. I sent it to my teenage son.
