your expertise on modern pokemon game development kinda falls flat IMO if you can’t make the connection between the only very buggy game nintendo has had to apologize for in recent memory (if at all) releasing and being developed during covid-19

The trend towards AI positivity in Japan absolutely fucking sucks. It should be understood why its happening though. There are seveal reasons (note this is a thread so read on through):

Watching Japanese creatives fall into becoming AI bros feels like watching a zombie outbreak spreading

73. Honogurashi no Niwa Our lives are the sum parts of the choices we made, and the connections we foster. It takes a village to raise a child; any singular person can tend to their own garden, and help those around them grow in turn.

didn't really think about it until now cause it's been a minute since we recorded this one but imo our discussion of Bacurau kinda ended up being pretty timely given the catharsis of seeing fascists get chumped up while tryna mess with brazilians in both the movie and irl

Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Painful review of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle on Steam that really highlights how destructive the continue system was to people's perception of arcade games. The beat 'em ups mentioned play wildly different from one another if you're actually trying to survive on 1 credit.

first three episodes of edgerunner s2 are very good kai ikarashi can have my first born as long as the angles are cool

i would not mind if dual override had the "4 then 4" structure for robot masters. expectations to using your power ups are baked in, so they can have more interesting (albeit gimmicky) secondary uses is not a bad thing rather than just making the game designed around buster only

God, grant me the serenity to bomb the patterns I cannot dodge, the courage to dodge the patterns I can, and the wisdom to tell the difference.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

fitness culture is so beastmode because a girl i knew in college got her covid shot (2nd dose) and then went for a hard run after it had a seizure and now she can't taste or smell anymore

i should be numb to it but that new call of duty is so on its face evil which combined with Who Published It just makes me feel deeply sad

i got the final fight 1CC (haggar, hardest difficulty)!!! i'll record commentary later but for now i'm very happy with myself! it's easily my favourite beat 'em up, and it's up there with gun.smoke (arcade) as one of my favourite games of all time. give it a try!

Saw the Street Fighter movie and it’s spiritually evil. I am lucky my friend bought my ticket because I would have walked out.

with this inevitable tension about gameplay identity with this modern era of revivals with castlevania, shinobi, ninja gaiden etc it does make me think man streets of rage 4 really was fuckin good. its not close to 2's level and it's twice as long as it should be but its a damn solid streets of rage

Atelier Karia - "Based on your feedback, we have decided to implement a body shape change feature" atelier.games/karia/uk/top...

i think the ocarina of time changes aren't gonna be linearly worse or simpler since the game is being reconsidered from the ground up. the fact they changed the combat system means some thought is being put into it. just not a fan of everyone automatically glazing it

"programming is hard" Tell that to employers ig it'll get you a job

new Epic Games Launcher in preview - "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look." store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

I'm just a bit skeptical on Ocarina of Time Remake being all that due to how rigid the structure is. Like outside the Water Temple and Forest Temple, there isn't much mechanical value in either the puzzle design or combat design. Enemy count looks the same!

The FLERITZ demo I dropped last week is... ...the next Disaster Arms game: Halcyonic Arms. How many people guessed that's what it was from the early footage? I did a terrible job trying to hide it
