More true than that the sky is blue

Did you know if you put ∞ jump in a game, Flappy Bird?

I have jumping in my "walking simulator first person puzzle game" because I love jumping in games. At one point I decided to embrace it and give it a reason so theres some puzzle-platforming too. Not being able to jump is like claustrophobia or having my hands tied to my back.

So, I've been thinking about this, and I think I know my issue: I feel like every second I play the minigame, I am NOT making progress in the main game, or making side progress that will eventually feed into the main game. It feels like "wasted" time. Silly, huh?

The only minigame that I really love is Queen's Blood in FF7 Rebirth. I think the fact that it had a side questline got me really into it.

somewhere back on twitter I have a #BanFishingMinigames hashtag I used for several years every time I got annoyed by a new fishing minigame

And a good dash

I wouldn't worry, if I tried to scope those things into the current project there's a 100% chance my brain would short circuit.

see I knew the fishing rod grappling hook was a genius idea 🥺
