magic the gathering post: it’s funny that people care about blue getting a 1U 2/2 creature at common. all the colors draw cards, and all the colors need piddly little guys that die in combat. it’s what the game is built around

In 1998, the (bad) Italian movie Cucciolo somehow managed to do something important: they shot quite a long sequence in the now-defunct SegaWorld London, located inside the London Trocadero. The park opened in 1996 and closed in 1999.
Here is the entire sequence.

The more time goes on, the more I am convinced that in just a few years, we will recognize Baby Steps and Blippo+ as two of 2025's defining games in the same vein that we talk about Disco Elysium and The Outer Wilds for their respective years.

after all the dlc, smash has 82, but my internal calculations for this were to start with like 30 and go up to maybe 45 after dlc.

shout out to captain in the insert credit forums for speaking the phrase β€œarcsys fire emblem fighting game” into existence, forcing me to waste the rest of the day speculating on a character roster for that hypothetical game

here's what people in the forums think:

forums.insertcredit.com/t/ep-422-gea...
Taliesin_Merlin says, I have ventured deep into the friendslop perhaps because I was playing similar games before friendslop was a term. Not all of them, obviously (no time for that), but enough that after listening to the slop discussion I went through my Steam library to catalogue my journey in the friends-play-games-together genre. Then I brainstormed a list of key concepts I see related to friendslop. My underlying claim is that what we call friendslop has existed in its component parts since at least the indie boom,in an undercurrent of multiplayer-focused experiences whose threads came together sometime after Among Us and Phasmophobia. andrewelmore says, I feel like β€œfriendslop” sorta comes from the same place as like, β€œeurojank”, but zoomery. The difference though is that β€œslop” has a specific connotation now with Computer Media that denotes a sense of junk food guilt that sort of inherently puts an expiration date on the genre by making it explicitly a Trend instead. I feel like odds are, either some new thing comes out that blows up out of nowhere and pivots into something else, or we never hear about a game called (something)-Crew again. it’s not a term of endearment you apply to games as a social experience, it’s β€œsingle digit player count with some kind of vague collective goal and proximity chat that will run on a toaster. you can get your stoned coworkers to play it with you so they play something other than stardew or fortnite for a few weeks.” Girard says, I think there’s a generational thing going on here re: reading the word slop as mean. It feels like it’s part of a language trend among younger Zoomers and gen alpha kids (brain rot, sludge content, friend slop) that is reclaiming language used to denigrate unproductive activity, but using it in a positive way? I’m an old Xennial, so it runs me the wrong way, but I stop short of complaining about it because I worry I’m like one of those old-timers saying β€œI don’t think this groove is β€˜wicked,’ β€˜bad,’ or β€˜gnarly’! In fact I think it’s quite well done!” chazmaru says, Great stuff. It resembles (and streamlines!) a similar presentation I have been brainstorming during the holiday break to explain the significance of Peak and why I thought it was the game of the year to my perplexed colleagues who had eyes for more traditional console experiences and/or the budget-effective production notes of Expedition 33. There’s something to dig further about the manifestation of social gaming spaces, wherein a previous generation (cf. the TV show Community) used to create gaming spaces within physical locations – turning a bedroom or living room into a different world, creating the constraint that the floor is lava etc. – that would be echoed in physical gaming networks : from two players being connected to the same game console through the wires of their controllers, to acquaintances bring their PC towers to LAN parties, to the appropriation of third spaces in the mid-2000s Japan with ad-hoc Monster Hunter on PSP and Streetpass (which truly started with Dragon Quest IX and Nintendogs on the DS being being systemized on the Nintendo 3DS). Progressively, as the masses are losing the economic battle for an access to the proverbial but less and less realistic β€œliving room”, and younger generations are prohibited (either by society’s changes, modern times pandemics or their own parents’ fears) from accessing traditional social spaces, we have been digitalizing the access to social gaming spaces from being exogenous to endogenous (i.e. it is not the social space that gives access to the game, but the game that gives access to the social space). Thinking about the future which was promised to us about ten years ago, I think there is also some (superficial?) relation between this transformation, the relative failure of VR (β€œmy living room can become anywhere”) and conversely the success of the Switch concept (β€œanywhere can become my living room”) into reappropriating physical social spaces within the constraints and opportunities o…
