they seem to be doing everything they can to signal that it is going to be 5 hours long yeah

I don't associate SQEX with this level of reverance. I associate them with Dragon Quest remasters that fast-forward the Epic Journey and term that a value-add

i'm not really playing either atm, just was checking it out. but both are pretty impressive

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

[does the math on a napkin, gets 116] :) okay awesome, time to press play and take a big sip of coffee

loathe as I am to ever admit it, Miyamoto is correct that a mario game should shut the fuck up at all times

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

Mario Galaxy 1: miserable. Mario Galaxy 2: immediately joyous

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

I booted up Mario Galaxy 2 yesterday and within 45 seconds was laughing and smiling and having a great time and feeling good about life

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

it's dark souls but poorly done

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

shockingly I believe there are four "rounds" of new documents, one for every non-gag ending

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

the game also tells you which cutscenes you're viewing are new, encouraging you to skip material you've seen

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

given the history that led to it, it is *far* better than it has any right to be, and considering its developer (NeoBards) has never shipped a fully original title(!) it is quite a profound accomplishment

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not sure what "really bad in the hand (in uninteresting ways that do not compare faithfully to its forebears) + the best writing I've seen in years" adds up to. Shadow Labyrinth remains my goty thus far but I guess necessarily Silent Hill f is going to wind up in there somewhere

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

I would never under any circumstances recommend watching a video *game* on youtube and as such I would recommend Silent Hill f to anyone who enjoys "best the medium has to offer" writing. I do not think it has much of the rough, shaggy Punk Rock energy of the first four, to its extreme detriment

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 1d

we completely finished Silent Hill f last night. all five endings. Ryukishi07 is a world-class talent, one of the few writers I would compare to Hideo Kojima/Shuyo Murata and the like. After around three full playthroughs I learned to "find the fun" in its bad dark souls combat

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 2d

they're a real headache! This is the first one I've done that's behaved kinda inexplicably

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 2d

this happens specifically when I'm using the scope on the RF signal...I didn't see any damaged vias to speak of, which is part of why this is so confusing

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 2d

hmm...

christa lee @ohpoorpup.bsky.social · 2d

bad via seems most likely given the kind of system it is, the kind of damage it sustains. Any ideas whereabouts to start looking?
