I do think overall shiny pokemon is a terrible mechanic because it curses impressionable players with stats madness

but also...

sometimes there are good color palettes on a pokemon, and I would like that as a plush

Thanks everyone who joined!

Made it through a couple more levels, and only got unreasonably mad at the camera and colliders a couple times! Can't wait to see how the rest of the game holds up.

yeah they're all pretty different!

and the most expensive is $30. you can almost buy all of them for the price of one AAA game

silksong, hades 2, baby steps, megabonk, cloverpit... a lot of games are doing really well

I read this passage in Jason Schreier's Play Nice and had to put my phone down

Highlighted text from Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment that reads "Like many future Blizzard all-stars, Chris Metzen stumbled onto the company by chance. He’d been performing in a band one night in Orange County when he ran into some Blizzard employees, who were impressed by a dragon he’d doodled on a napkin and encouraged him to come join them as an artist."
