I'm a 22yo autistic male that's navigating the world with about as much grace as a declawed cat. On A Rail haters DNI
nowadays we can just do this stuff with actual 3D environments and the right camera angle/shaders but having static framed scenes got treated as a limitation instead
HiMyNameisChair 🏳️⚧️@himynameischair.bsky.social · last wk.Played a bit of FF9 before bed. The more of its pre-rendered backgrounds I see,the more I feel like we fell from the path TwT.
I'm not an experienced shmupper but goddamn SPOULOUS II is a good time

the handful of modern forums I've used (DOOMWorld, Starman.NET, SMWCentral, etc.) have been fine but but that's mostly because there are moderators putting in mad hours to deal with bad actors and now AI agent scraping
jenny tightpants@jtp.bsky.social · 3w agoreplaying MOTHER and man they really should just get more Actual Musicians on games. once "game composer" became a position people tried to actively fill we lost the way
I'm feeling a bit of dread here seeing Miyamoto speak openly as an individual on the ground in actual development work when soon after Mario 64 he would mostly resign himself to a management/consultancy role
shmuplations.com@shmuplations.bsky.social · 3w agoToday we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/
My cat disappeared and I've been losing sleep trying to figure out if she actually got outside or she's just hiding somehwere

video game dark age hits so different that people are posting romantically about a mid sports game on the og xbox that has cool water
A/C gave out while the average temperature outside during the day is like 90°F/around 32°C during the day
if you've ever listened to FPS fans talk for long enough you'll understand why real fast

Growing up with an astigmatism and lazy eye has made extra senstitive to contrast and the lack of it in many modern video games
I don't think Obsidian being gutted was worth Josh Sawyer getting another crack at Fallout. A little frustrating for that news to drop and see it start to overshadow discussion of the ramifications of the Xbox layoffs already.
Sometimes when I'm bored I dip my info_player_start in Residue Processing and he scream loud as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Squibbus@squibbus.gay · 4w agothinking about how info_player_start went from being known as a quake/source entity that is just your player spawn location to a supposed living person because of valve's decision to make the model representing the entity low poly green gordon freeman around hl2's development
I rolled like the quintuple whammy of disabilities when I was born so this has just been the story of my life since I personally learned to speak.
doc@docseuss.bsky.social · 4w agopeople often ask me "doc, [incomprehensible gibberish]" and I always laugh magnanimously before I say "sorry, I have some auditory processing issues and I need you to repeat yourself again, I'm so sorry"
the opps would send me there if they had their way

you know the segement of that old video Arin Hanson did on OoT where he takes a moment to highlight and complain about how many locked animation states there are? that's me with Donkey Kong 64. they put you through so many loops of watching long animations or filler dialogue play.
This game is so fascinating to me because by all accounts it should've crumbled under it's own weight of such a small team trying to aim for the stars with a neo noir thriller with such out there gameplay concepts being done such a limited budget but it just lands and HARD too.
clay 🪴@claypot.blue · last mo.135. Max Payne (2001) 🎮 | 1️⃣ holds up great, especially for a game of this style in that era. perfect amount of story, near-perfect balance, perfect length, near-perfect gunplay. nightmare sequences are obnoxious but they're short as hell. clearly a classic for a reason 9 / 10
Nintendo removing the score counter from Mario Wonder is still like Why did they do that?
there's something wild about how this man's main bit now is just playing insane internet antics completely straight and it lands every time
