touhou 20's soundtrack is kinda like touhou 10's in that zun decided to put his whole zussy into the stage 3 theme for no reason
surprising amount of responses failing at close reading
(I forgot to turn off my mic recording but honestly its just as funny) So anyways I found askip in the Alternate Dimension Sword and airdashing is a very funny mechanic

i was looking at the special stuff in Gradius Origins to see if there are any silly enemy names in Gradius II. yes. there are.

i've been good can i use your boobs as a pillow
Awesome! Salamander and Life Force still seem out of reach to me...
I feel like it was made up for a joke but this guy was using it as an actual jab at a game
It doesn't get me to engage in the same way, it gets me to engage in a different way.
just make it exist first. you can have shovel knight or joker from persona 5 show up as a crossover later
I've definitely seen some folks talk like getting into arcade games ruined other, less tightly designed kinds of games for them, but it hasn't happened to me and I'm not sure it ever will...
plus a lot of them tend to give you really powerful weapons and bombs!
idk I just like a lot of video games for a lot of reasons and sometimes a reason I like one could be directly opposite a reason I like another. i.e. I don't think Kirby Super Star would be better if it required much more rigorous mastery of all the abilities, for example, even if another game might.
oh it's simple! because I fucking love it and want to continue to experience it, I think it's something unique and special and want to keep playing games like that for the rest of my life I guess the difference is that I don't think "unique and special" means "better"?
Always liked the perspective I was able to get on this. Artists! Show an old piece that you still love!
wait, when you say "defending it" are you referring to arcade challenge or opt-in challenge? I'm a little lost at this point in the convo lol
I always liked the notion that danmaku wasn't invented for the sake of truly crushing difficulty, but rather to make shooters more visually enticing and thrilling. It's a little sad that these types of games got assumed by onlookers to just be completely impossible instead.

sure! but if that turns out to be true I can just lie ;D
really I meandered around this conversation some but I think I ultimately landed on two things: - I want to communicate a baseline "why" this sort of design is valuable beyond the world of making money in arcades - I want to do it without sounding like a total shithead
personally I find it much more straightforward to argue for a properly enforced challenge than argue against not having one, is all
Caring about the value doesn't mean disliking everything that doesn't have it. I play a lotta shit for a lotta reasons.

I wouldn't consider "talking like a well-adjusted human being instead of a shitflinging 4channer or obnoxious 'retvrn' nazi" to be "apologetic" but hey if being friendly while communicating ideas is losing then I'm a born loser
that games made to push players into challenges are worth understanding and creating, of course. not that they're better, just that they matter, and the knowledge on how to craft them matters I bet I can do that without immediately turning off anyone who's not a grouchy cynical 30-something man lol
jokes aside I think this whole "everyone is against this correct and true thing" attitude is exactly why I think this sect of gamers are unable to communicate in ways that aren't obnoxious and terrible. I personally want to do better even if none of y'all don't
just don't run past the guy 4head
a really cool detail i dont see ppl talk about is that if youre playing handheld mode on the switch and you attempt to flip it to read the book it will always be upside down because the console detects the motion! this video is me flipping my switch sideways and upside down #off #offtherpg #offgame
like, obviously a lot of the games I want to make are gonna be arcade-influenced challenge stuff. but I think there's a better way to communicate why these things matter than being a cynical old fart, and I'd like to find it
but my experience isn't made worse by this kind of design. I've enjoyed plenty of games that are either likely or definitely easy to play in a way that isn't so fun. and I think it's worth figuring out a way to communicate what's so interesting about a game that does put your nose to the grindstone

like yeah it's a legitimately tough thing to think about and decide. idk.
so in the case of Shinobi there is incentive to fight the enemies, but it's a currency that you can use to unlock more combat abilities, and those end up being kind of unnecessary if you're not really doing much combat in the first place the game does have platforming and some other stuff tbf, but-
yeah but you couldn't literally run through an entire screen of them just by holding right and be completely unharmed. you had to interact on at least a slightly more conscious level than that
the only time that's acceptable is if the random has frenzy time on it because IMO frenzy time is a huge boon to the first-place racer
well mobile games are automatically twice as fake as anything released on a console so that's a bit of an unfair comparison lol
like, 99% of the people who pick up Shinobi: Art of Vengeance will beat the tar out of most or all of the enemies because there's good gamer feedback juice slathered all over it. does it really matter that much that the game won't kill you if you don't? that question's not rhetorical. I don't know.
I thought he looked easy to draw
honestly though I think in general us old-school arcade fan gamers kinda assume it's self-evident why a game allowing you to opt out of its systems is bad instead of making an actual case for why "just don't play in a boring way" isn't enough of a rebuttal... idk
like, avoiding guards in MGS means watching/knowing their movement patterns and playing carefully, not running directly through the enemy and them having no recourse to do anything about it lol
the Shinobi games are not stealth games in the slightest, and I think it being "what a ninja would do" doesn't make up for it being very boring in context, not to mention directly at odds with the game's wide variety of attacking moves and general combat focus
and tbf, the video was intentionally flippant and snarky as a sort of teaser to a more thorough Shinobi video and the whole "game that gives you a ton of mechanics but doesn't bother to present you with basic challenge" is something worth talking about but also good fucking lord man that's a word
was from a video about the new Shinobi showing how a bunch of the enemies are unequipped to actually make you fight them outside of the forced encounters; you can just run through a bunch of them because their attacks are slow and there's no contact damage
"consentroidvania" is probably the worst cynical gamer smartass way I've ever heard to describe something regarding game design that is actually worth discussing
seattle is full of fake video games
I like how you put the fakest Digimon game behind it just to drive the point home
do you not own any rubber gloves?
ah wait I might've found it lol. yeah I'm seeing what you mean

I can't find it so I wonder if I have the person blocked already lol

they've said that if they add any additional ports of games already on there they'll be free DLC, so that one and N64 Mortal Kombat Trilogy are probably the big gets though it would also be really funny if they managed to get Ultimate Mortal Kombat DS
apparently it won't have Genesis UMK3 at launch but they're working on it. might be a different rights thing somehow? that or it's just so full of insane technical problems that it's taking extra work lol
sounds like they couldn't solve the riddle 🙄
there's actually a number of voice lines from Sonic Adventure 1 (but usually the delivery is different like for Eggman's)... clearly the dastardly and destructive Ian "Fucking" Flynn has left his mark once again...
as long as you understand that Wonder Museum slaps
yeah Water Palace is definitely the worst track in the Crossworlds beta and it's entirely because the final grass cut is just way too strong and way too idiot-proof

every now and then in Crossworlds Sonic hits a "Woohoo!" that's like pitch perfect identical to the one from Sonic Adventure 1 when you hit a ramp in the Twinkle Park hovercars and I'm like "roger how the fuck are you doing that"

A CHALLENGER FROM A CROSSWORLD!!
if he's the only Sonic character you have to pay extra for I will shell out (but realistically if he's in it's in the free DLC, we still have no idea who will be there beyond Ichiban, Joker, and Miku)

Peppa Pig with the Windy Castle track is gonna go crazy
I wonder how much longer SEGA's gonna hold off on telling us the last season pass character/track combo for Crossworlds it feels like they've been holding onto it really long, which means it has to be something extremely funny
this is why I love Collision Boost because one of the five guys trying to pass you will inevitably just slam the fuck into you and put you back at full speed
Sometimes the biggest lies we tell are to ourselves. So today, let's practice honesty. Be honest with yourself. Did you block this?
it's already confirmed that the season pass contents will be available separately *and* that Sega characters are part of the free DLC
