I like video games. I work on Dialogue Tree and sometimes make videos about video game dialogue. Icon by @shaymoo.net

It's gonna take months, but my next Dialogue Tree project is Wind Waker. I'm pretty proud of how this dialogue box came out. It's not completely 1:1, but it's pretty close, right?!

Hacker's Confessions #6 is probably my favorite text log in any game. It reframes an exposition character as the most important person in Pokopia, while also giving a great explanation for how building habitats causes Pokémon to reappear.

Wow! My new video is doing so well that YouTube is no longer sending me notifications for individual comments. I have to check manually now...

It happens so often that I see cool art on Twitter that I want to repost here too, only to find that the artist has a Bluesky account that they abandoned a few months ago. Please, I just want to share your cool art...

In Paper Mario, Mayor Penguin is found seemingly dead, with Mario being suspected of his murder. However, if a letter is delivered to him during that time, he will get up, thank Mario, and promptly go back to being dead. Unfortunately, this cannot prove Mario's innocence.

Fun fact: This hint doesn't exist in the Japanese version. The developers knew this puzzle was something players struggled with, and their solution was to make Tatl go "Come on, bro! It's not that hard!"

So many of the little attentions to detail in Pokopia are so full of care I love how they know this is something humans put up on the walls of Pokémon centers, but they don't know what it is, so it's upside down

I noticed a big difference in subtitle use on my auto-captioned videos (left) vs. ones with written captions (right). I guess the auto-generated captions really aren't cutting it for a lot of people.

So, after Elfilin, are we back to unquestioningly trusting Kirby's new friends? Because there's something about this design that shouts "pre-boss transformation" to me.

The Kiddy Kong Emerald Rush event has awakened something in me. That one was so easy that I went for max emeralds, just to see if I could. But now I want to max out every event...

I've been going over Majora's Mask's dialogue, and I think it's interesting how NPCs treat Deku Link in particular differently. It's probably done to ease players in during the first cycle, but the result is that they choose not to trauma-dump on a child. It helps them feel more real.

Splatoon Raiders is pretty much exactly what I expected, but somehow I love it way more than I expected. I think I might like it more than Octo Expansion...

Played some Splatoon Raiders with friends, and I really appreciate how the game balances multiplayer. I'm way higher level than them, so on my end alone, the Salmonids changed their attack and defense to match.

Mina Cut Content Lore 🤓✨ Originally, Newsie was a Goblin Queen. If you equipped a trinket she'd give you, Mina could see and interact with her invisible "news goblins" around the island, who would give hints about secrets. How else do you think Newsie gets all her news!? 😈

In Donkey Kong 64, Diddy, Tiny, Lanky and Chunky are all unlocked by freeing them from cages. While DK appears to be unlocked by default, this is false: internally, the game only unlocks him by opening the door to exit DK Island. The entirety of DK Island is his personal cage.
