Its a well documented fact that the best machine for playing Playstation games is the next released Playstation. A PS5 is basically a PS4 Pro Plus Jumbo, and a PS4 has all the PS3 HD ports, so a PS5 is the best for playing PS3 games. Likewise, the PS3 has a bunch of PS2 ports for dirt cheap on it!

Another pipe-dream "Vtiber lore in a game" idea. A classic JRPG like Chrono-trigger, where all the Worldeater's total XP are set to 9999, and they can never level up from combat b/c they're just so Ancient they can't learn anything new from beating up local wildlife for a few months. Instead-

Guns, Lucrezia starts doing more then one lazy impalement and unlocks potent healing/debuff items. Especially if the "3 per battle" on a cast of 9 people total is justified by "monster encounters are actually 2 or 3 times the size, non-active characters are also fighting." With the active party-

Their levels are the average of the party to represent them putting in more effort as the human cast proves themselves as worth it. If you have one person you never leveled b/c you dislike their gimmic, that will skew the Worldeater's levels as they're not there to Help, they're there to laugh at-

The funny thing about Pokemon Emerald ranzomizer + nuzloke rules is that so far the biggest issue has been that rules as written, my luck worked out in a way that I was unable to encounter a pokemon who could learn cut. I probably could have been fine without it, but I know its needed Eventually

Ever have a single line or two give you enough worldbuilding to make an entire setting? "The reason most cities around here don't have walls around them," the wizard replied with a grin, "Is because a good wall is largely waterproof."

WE LOST TWO LIVES THIS RUN!!! And we had to cheat because the only pokemon I could find that could learn Cut was the Level 5 Metagross in the early forests... Which was fine because we had to backtrack to *get* cut... It was a good mess of a stream! We also got raided by @zarataro.bsky.social

I've been thinking about randomizers a bit. Randomization is about as good as the game is in a sweet spot of linearity and openness, right? A game like Ocarina of Time or Link to the Past is good to randomize because its open, provided you have the correct items to get there the game assumes you're

between openness and linearity. You belong anywhere you have the movement to get to in a Metroidvania and often have to go through dangerous of "I don't think I should be here..." types of areas to find the next ability. Which means randomizing usually leads to it feeling like a regular playthrough

A game like Ocarina of Time or Link to the Past is good to randomize because its open, provided you have the correct items to get there the game assumes you're

supposed to be there. Its theoretically possible to beat all the Dark World dungeons in LttP by getting the dungeon item, leaving, and going to the next one until the map is fully open. But if a game is too open, then the question becomes "What do we even randomize?" Breath of the Wild is a weird-

Ok, I got more on this thought. You CANNOT acknowledge the obvious joke. It is IMPERITIVE that the elephant in the room is never addressed. This idea only works if everyone in the show treats this bog-standard Abrahams tank thing like its a revolutionary new mech design. The entire point-

in on the joke of only calling it a mech. I don't know how to fully explain it other then the comedy and parody derived from going full in on treating a regular tank like any Gundam series treats its poster child Gundam model and playing it painfully straight will get you so much further then-

elephant in the room, that opens the door to making the joke being "Actually mechs suck." and start throwing in more jokes at the expense of mecha as a concept. And at that point, you're just picking the low hanging fruit. Which isn't as funny as going balls-in on the sillier concept.
