Grok is undressing literal children and people will still look you dead in the eye and say Bluesky is just as bad or even worse because it’s not as funny

Banger video about Blader mapping everything to his keyboard, a couple foot pedals and only using his mouse to aim.

While it's a somewhat radical form of it, it reminds me of how I've been rethinking the "aim hand and shoot hand" way of mapping things with gyro aim.

Just binged all of Common Side Effects, thanks to a recommendation from DD&J (Wanwangames). It was fucking fantastic and I'm so glad it'll get a second season!

I've been wrestling with Dodonpachi for too long.
I think I'm starting to get really burned out on it,
to the point that longer breaks still lead to quick frustration and just turning the game off after one mistake in the first 3 stages. (that fucking red ship).

I'm getting sick of this game

Been playing Star Fox 64 Recomp the past few days, and it's probably the smoothest, most responsive the game has ever felt.

Now that mod support exists, I wonder if someone could make a better expert mode that fully realizes the concept.

I'd also like to play the game with some of Zero's changes.

That Exe Dead by Daylight Sonic game being classic sonic so they have to make classic versions of some characters is really charming to me

I have been an Urasawa fanboy for a good year now and I still remember when Shira told me "guess what I read!!" (or was it watched? Don't remember).

I was so excited and yea no fucking surprise, she absolutely nailed Johann. If you don't follow Shira yet please do, her art is always evolving!
I know it's a bit different from what I do usually... but I discovered Monster this year, and wow. Johann is such an interesting vilain...

radical and crazy opinion but i think "conservative" game design is when you take something that was bold and risky in its era, sand down all the rough edges, and insert a mechanic from the last hit game to come out. many indie developers are deeply conservative in a way their inspirations were not.

i say this in reference to shmups but it's really the whole medium. games from 30 years ago that were and still are deeply experimental and weird are "conservative," because they're old, but a game from this year that plays like "slay the spire clone with a slight twist #5 billion" is "innovative."

discourse about "shmup elitism" or whatever is so funny. garegga and silvergun are two of the most beloved games in the genre and they're deranged freak games that still play like nothing else around them. yet they're categorized as "traditionalist" by virtue of being, idk old i guess.

Frustrated by the fact that nobody's making Elevator Action/Rolling Bird style games I spent the past week+ making a tiny game like this myself, the main bulk of it is done just gotta do some finishing touches & release

I've made my opinions on how much I love Crazy Taxi back in early 2024 here, but I still find it weird to hear anybody talk about it at all. Mostly because I feel like folks just talk about the aesthetic and vibes, and not the gameplay. So when folks say they want a new one, I think, do they?
