Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

Part of me feels like Dark Souls wouldn't have caught on if the first game had difficulty settings. It'd be "cheap", "pointless", etc.
Arcade games had a relatively granular difficulty option via credit feeding and it played a big part in them written off as "button mashers"/"quarter munchers".

I need like a Spirit Bomb's worth of strength to survive this Thanksgiving and honestly that might not be enough. I had no idea what I was in for

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Kirby Air Riders is an extremely impressive game, but it feels like I'm playing Guitar Hero on the hardest difficulty but am allowed to miss 99% of the notes and still win.

Every Redstone related block in Familiar Additions, some might be familiar to you while others... definitely not, and they stray a bit far from vanilla, which is probably strange for someone trying to make a very vanilla friendly mod. #mcdev #redstone #minecraft

I keep forgetting I have this nice text-styling mod installed. I've decided to start keeping notes on things I struggle to remember, for easy access. #minecraft
