its got a lot of light and well rounded non antagonistic characters and the writing focuses on bonds between the characters so there's a lot of funny interactions along with the more introspective and melancholic moments. and a lot of it is also just frankly beautiful

A mind need not be changed for a discussion to be worthwhile.

I don't think advancement is necessary for it to be good or fun - the nature of talking about something like a game or any other piece of media means that most questions and arguments don't exactly have right answers.

I don't like how "discourse" became a bad word for a bad thing. Discussion with differing views on stuff is fun! At least when it's not like an axiomatic difference in basic values lol

i kinda wanna try rawdogging an old platformer like that but the temptation will always be there, especially rewind lol. i wish i could turn the features off in the settings of NSO to make it at least a little less convenient for me to go use them

@kayin.moe so in the context of building up gameplay literacy and the like, do you think a full appreciation of an older title may have to preclude savestates and rewind? tough pill to swallow if so

I hate that so many people don’t view gameplay as art, they view it as the obstacle preventing you from watching the story, which is the only part they consider art.

Thinking about Difficulty more because I was popping off about it on stream tonight, but I keep going back and thinking to how people give like.. intro reading/watching/listening lists for subjects that are dense and hard to get into, so people can build literacy in various mediums and genres.

Hollow Knight is/was one of my favorites. Silksong blows it out of the water.

I remembered Team Cherry's producer said something like "Hollow Knight was a rushed game on a shoestring budget. Silksong will show you what these guys are really capable of." And damn was that confidence warranted.

Close! Zelda 2 is actually a vania. Weird fucked up protovania like Simon's Quest

I guess the second best category of genres is also just the ones that describe like, aesthetic sensibilities ala most music genres and stuff like cyberpunk or High Fantasy

-more connected to how they make you FEEL or more specifically, how they want you to engage with them. Mystery, Horror, etc. The fact that they coexist makes it all the more confusing lol. That's the natural evolution of language though. No recognized council existed to guide us or anything.
