did the 20/20/20/20 thing

okay so five games completed this month (because i also did castlevania classic collection) what next

this is really hard

by the way i am playing at 70% speed because i don't want my brain to melt the trade off is rather than 8 minutes and 55 seconds of survival, i gotta last 12 minutes and 44 seconds

is it cheating? yes, but there's still all the skill involved, minus the crazy reaction time that my old man eyes cannot handle

i have made it to 5am but got unlucky with power situation during freddy countdown

food for thought that i've personally pondered a lot, and it's going to sound counter-intuitive, but bear with me here (cont.)

now... you might ask... why did victor mcknight write an entire novella's worth of posts about all this? i don't fucking know

sometimes separating the art versus artist is a good thing sometimes it's a terrible thing

food for thought that i've personally pondered a lot, and it's going to sound counter-intuitive, but bear with me here (cont.)

additionally, it's important to recognize that there are a lot of creators that specifically strive to showcase this representation, and that's NOT what i'm commenting on i'm making commentary of the consumer/fan mindset, not the provider

that's not me dissing anyone of the sort or thinking less of their creations in hindsight because representation is VERY important, i just feel more folks could benefit to look into a piece of media beyond as well as in conjunction with how it specifically focuses on themes surrounding minorities

food for thought that i've personally pondered a lot, and it's going to sound counter-intuitive, but bear with me here (cont.)

rather than the themes and stories they were actually trying to tell via it's authors wishes now of course we can't necessarily dictate how a general audience takes in a piece of media and the message it sends to people (so rest assured, this isn't a complaint, just an observation)

but... this doesn't happen with stories by straight white people and i feel that's doing a disservice to the stories that a lot of minorities wish to tell

food for thought that i've personally pondered a lot, and it's going to sound counter-intuitive, but bear with me here (cont.)

in a way, i'm somewhat grateful and lucky that folks haven't enjoyed my songs under the understanding of "look at what this disabled guy made" - that personally wasn't ever my goal, so perhaps i'm lucky my disability isn't as common knowledge to be so easily applicable to my art

i feel as though a lot of trans, lgbtq+, and poc creators specifically run into this a lot... where they put out something really amazing, but then a lot of fans dissect it's themes under the context of it's creator and their experiences as a minority, (cont.)

food for thought that i've personally pondered a lot, and it's going to sound counter-intuitive, but bear with me here (cont.)

any minority can and should be allowed the space to write stories outside of their personal experiences, but i feel as though so many *FANS put weight on subtext backed up by personal experiences that consumers tend to subconsciously discard any other attempt at a thematic focus from a creator

for instance, i don't necessarily have to write songs about my disability for the themes and messages to ring true, it just so happens that writing those kinds of stories/songs may come easier to me since i have the experiences to back it up

i keep seeing tim sweeney's name on every social media platform and it's always for increasingly annoying reasons

videogameschronicle.comPlayStation 6’s memory costs alone exceed $680 per console, it’s claimed | VGCHardware insider suggests next-gen costs could well cost more than $1,000…

I genuinely think the most competitive thing any other game company could do right now is make a statement further committing to their current consoles. We really REALLY do not need the next generation of gaming, right now.

There's the speedrun achievement. Jesus.

Literally all I have left with Belmont's Curse is the final boss, and I will have a 100% complete save. After that? I go for the four-hour achievement... 🥲

Boss fights in Belmont’s Curse are the big highlight for me, but the Celeste-like traversal and Arcanas (specifically leveling them up) are not my favorite thing. I have yet to really use some of them because they all barely do any damage and cost far too much mana. I might as well not have them.

I still have to clear out the Main Hall area (which is arguably the hardest area to cover because I don’t know where I’m going) but every other location is near or at 100% completion.

I think I’m dropping my score to a 7/10, but the environments and boss fights? 10/10, easy. This game is such a mixed bag, for me. I definitely like it far more than Circle of the Moon!

levelling up arcanas SUCKS

music can be fun 🤭 kind of surprised this isn't an achievement

I'm a pretty decent way into Belmont's Curse now, but I do gotta wonder... is anyone else just not upgrading their arcanas, at all?

Already got the bad ending for Belmont's Curse. Now it's just saying "Hey, idiot - finish up the rest." This game is pretty big.

the new castlevania is like a few steps away from being straight up celeste platforming at times and i don't know if i 100% like that

mayhaps my expectations of the best of castlevania are impacting my enjoyment of this particular game but i'm still enjoying it!

bluesky making an ai bot is so fucking annoying

I also keep thinking about how I approached Ad Deus et Mors, and while I absolutely love what I wrote and had Castlevania in the brain while writing it, I gotta say… …the song doesn’t quite fit the unique vibe Belmont’s Curse gives off. 😅

non-spoilery notes so far after three boss encounters: - music is really cool sounding but i kind of wish there was more variety, i got a bit sick of one of the tracks after an hour and a half of hearing it

my precious

- the upscaling of the game is really rough on the eyes and anti-aliasing isn’t doing much to mask it - the camera started twitching on me at two instances and i couldn’t fix it without running for five minutes to a save point - maybe i haven’t unlocked it yet, but this game needs a fast travel

i’m sitting at an 8/10 so far—pretty fun!

my precious

- combat is fluid as hell, probably the best thing about this game, but the parry is really annoyingly strict - boss encounters are legitimately very challenging and have required me to recognize strategies which many games haven’t done for me in a bit

- medusa could turn me into stone and i would thank her for it
