Last couple of nights playing Eschatos have gotten super frustrating it's like I'm regressing in skill lol I'm literally right there I know I can do it but I'm not even getting to stage 4 anymore on 1 credit for some reason???
Thinking about how Tom Scott immediately improved Jenga by adding a chess clock to it. Timers are so effective and elegant for how simple they are, you could probably improve most games without timers by adding them
They still do, at least Nintendo of America does. If you watch a UK Nintendo Direct you'll see that they just say "game" instead of "the [game] game" like in the US. Which means that they make the narrator record two versions of the same line every time he mentions the name of a Nintendo game.
Did a practice run of stage 4 onwards on eschatos and beat the last boss with 3 lives left... I've been there before. That means I can do it...

The $20 gamesir controller has probably been one of my best gaming related purchasing decisions in a good while. Insanely good for the price
I will actually offer a genuine counterpoint though. I recommend anyone who does readily look things up online when confronted with an obstacle to simply ask their friends instead. I think most games are enhanced by sharing information but between friends is more meaningful than google, imo
Ash@fishyash.bsky.social · 3d agoWith cheesing discourse on my timeline, I am pro cheese lol. Basically anything that is not a puzzle game I do not consider cheesing to be detrimental to the experience... sometimes I wish I looked up stuff more even... One day I want to play a whole RPG while following a published strategy guide

"That's not a translation but a rewrite. I want to see what the ancient Greeks saw" Then learn Ancient Greek. And travel back in time and be born and raised in Ancient Greece. There is no magical translation that will allow you to see what Ancient Greeks saw through the lens of modern English.

I somehow triggered a big debate on the comments on a YouTube video. "Is X halal" seems to trigger comment wars every time lol I haven't participated since I'm not Muslim lol, I was just trying to explain the difference between vegetarian and vegan cheese
i'm thinking about tank controls again and how while it's not a system devoid of reflex elements, the committal nature of them makes success more contingent on your ability to predict the game state a few seconds into a future and games have increasingly biased away from this as time as gone on
Using out of date Japanese netslang at work because I have free will
Just saw a post about a "masochistic realism" roblox mod and it reminded me of this kinda mid adventure game I played last year lol, lemme find the vid and I'll repost it
You can just buy a regular N64, it's like a 3rd of the price of the war criminal console
Sometimes I wonder what would've happened to the video games medium if Diablo was a Roguelike instead of a Wizardrylike
I finished reading a regular book for the first time in a good while, and it's made me want to read another book immediately, which seems like a good thing to want ngl
Finally got another run on Eschatos where I made it to the final boss. Another score PB (though I'm not really playing for score lol) but with less lives as I threw away so many of them by doing stupid bullshit like this No music for some reason. Just imagine a banger playing in your head
You know how there's like those memes about Tim Follin doing pictionary and what not. I love that Yousuke Yasui has his own version of this by blessing a random English teaching Nintendo DS software with his own bangers www.youtube.com/watch?v=BenJavhGfMA

The other day I may have joined a reggae band It felt really nice playing in a band again... also I should really learn reggae anyway it's a top tier style of music. They want me on bass though, so now I have to learn how to play bass properly outside of my sporadic noodling
It's actually insane how you can just build an intuition on how to work around the jank in the 3D sonic games tbh One of the main reasons I can't stand Sonic Heroes is because I was not raised on it, I'm fighting the jank for 100% of the game. Even Sonic 06 feels better cause I played it as a kid
K'eeg@armormodekeeg.blacksky.app · last wk.y'know I think part of the reason Sonic fans around my age or a lil' younger can be such strong shooters for the janky 3D Sonic games of the 2000's is that the most frustrating, annoying, or broken parts of those games are consistently very possible to learn to overcome
Here's some more singing in Dinoland! This time the music is L'enfant by Vangelis c:
The sheer number of “PlayStation Boycott” news articles I’ve seen since yesterday already outnumbers the coverage I’ve seen about BDS in 3 years. I don’t even know what to say.
