Fixating for long stretches on either films or games rather than dipping back and forth between mediums might not be the most well balanced approach but it does make clearing the huge watchlist hit like crack on your eventual revisits

youtu.be/BdeHqesLx4s?... I like Godard's point in this (weirdly tense) interview about art being inseparable for economics. People pretend the stuff they like is free from economy (or more broadly. power) but Pollock was funded by the CIA, Michelangelo by the Pope.

Ayyyy you got it, congrats!!

bro look at that fucking hitbox interaction when the tall guy tries to knee strike me it's beautiful

People love calling hard arcade games quarter munchers but nearly all of them have been worse off for including an on-ramp so you still felt like you got some value for your money lmao

Good to hear you’re back at it soon and glad you passed! Had the YT vods on in the background so much I’m nearly back at like the 2023 ones lmao

A big red -5 flashes above my head for every post without proper comma use like I’m taking damage from Rads

Never writing out a long winded thread of thoughts ever again man this ocd riddled brain of mine has me redoing whole paragraphs four times just to make sure the wording is correct 😭

If the people you discuss games with keep being dickheads then let’s be honest about what that is rather than inventing this persecution complex towards people with a preference that has no strict correlation to behaviour exhibited by every type of player who becomes deeply involved in this hobby.

If you’re going to suggest the idea that arguing in favour of one specific design approach over another is contemptible, then it would make your stance a lot more convincing if you didn’t also do the exact same when it suits *your* values.

Overconfidence in an underdeveloped position is insanely common when you wanna try to be introspective about your relationship with art. To act like you’re infallible and it’s just exclusive to that hypothetical type of guy you’re mad at is obnoxious as fuck and many people do!

Games discourse might be worthwhile to partake in if everyone just got the fuck over themselves instead of projecting their insecurity onto anyone voicing dislike, even strongly, of their personal taste. Especially if they happen to be comfortably mainstream in regard to viability and acceptance.

Even if the ways you substantiated your position were nearly identical and in the exact same cordial tone but the subject of critique now contends with design principles that others find value in, it’s fair to treat it as in group out group shit.

All these examples of you declaratively stating detractive opinions on works you don’t like but the second you identify the similarities between those works and criticise ideas holistically by leveraging examples to demonstrate your points, you’re now imposing your narrow taste.

Labelling people as pretentious snobs because the framework they use, that you’re okay with in isolated examples, resulted in some intense critique of an overarching design trend across games you happen to like is so fucking stupid.

Developing your ability to articulate what you value in art will also naturally lead to critically assessing what you don’t value and why, a process anyone who’s ever bothered to thoughtfully engage with this stuff will go through at some point.

There’s a certain type of discourse that keeps cropping up on these sites as pushback to what is ultimately a niche group of people who strongly advocate for what they value in arcade game design and it’s always so insufferably hypocritical for how aggressive it is

Lmao I swear even arcade games need to pick up a bit faster I’ve just started doing all my practise runs from Stage 3 and it’s helped a tonne. I hope you get that R-Type clear! I’ll get around to those eventually, I loved what I played of Delta.

crimson desert is getting the thing you never want your favourite game to get which is people responding to clips of critics saying the combat is bad with completely contextless combo mad videos. that’s how you know it is over

Dying to a stray bullet on the Stage 2 boss because you’re practically on auto pilot by that point is a fucking ball ache

This Rayforce 1CC is privy to the same issue I have in TGM2 where the first 100 levels of Master are such a fucking slog the more you play, here it’s the first two stages that drag on repeated attempts
