a lot of bad stuff ends up reaching me via spaces which i am not distancing myself from for I Like My Friends reasons which gets me grumpy a lot esp lately, but it's also sort of nice that the fast majority of my interests in this space are very disconnected from all the Things That Are Happening

Metroid for tiny baby children is pretty neat! Though none of the immediacy (platforming or combat) is ever particularly interesting, the game breaks open in a cool way after getting the wallclimb. There’s a (at least theoretical, cause I haven’t played enough recently to have seen this much) problem with these really strong movement powerups where, if you get them too early, later levels have to warp themselves around that ability, making it feel less like a strong powerup and more like a Standard Part Of Your Moveset – I think Hebereke’s brevity lets the wallclimb feel really cool for the whole game, both because nothing supersedes it and because it’s a fun tool to awkwardly shimmy around and ‘break’ platforming challenges that were tricky until you got it, and I think the sections around the time you get it really emphasise that. Although later sections do still fall into that aforementioned problem a little, both from having less straightforward platforming sections and by sidelining it for a different (imo far less interesting) powerup later on. But it’s cool! I wasn’t enjoying the game that much until I got the wallclimb, and enjoyed it enough to wanna plow through until the end. I also think an exploration-focused game is such a good outlet for SUNSOFT’s insane late-NES presentation – NES and GB/C are probably my two favourite consoles ever presentationally, and both of SUNSOFT’s NES games I’ve played are really some of the best I’ve seen. Also the final boss was sort of fucked up massively for being a boss you have to run back to and pick up potions for every time you die, but every time I dodged a weird situation by crouching it made me feel so cool. Same feeling as dodging by morph balling in Metroid. My favourite part is the bit where you have to slowly and excruciatingly bomb through five layers of blocks and if you miss the next two jumps you get sent back to the start of the area and have to do it all again. They got bad Mario Maker levels in 1991

of course i am a fickle and mysterious bug and will probably find myself playing chulip or something in january and crashing and complaining that the woman who can't do slow adventure/puzzle games is playing the slow/adventure puzzle game (moon is one of my favourite games ever)

i don't have too much attachment to sonic and i have bounced off some of the games in the past, but adventure 1 and what i played of sonic 1 were really cool and cd also looks really cool which is of course to say we should netplay sonic riders. maybe

i feel like i said this before somewhere but this is basically the conclusion i drew from watching a friend (who didnt like it very much) play so its nice to see those second hand feelings vindicated by someone else. maybe i should play it.... maybe i should try more sonic in general

STREETS OF RAGE 2
As someone whose perception and processing has always been bad, and has felt the consequences of that harder than ever this year, it’s really, really comforting to have a wonderful, difficult action game that’s just this slow; this is an action game where I can very easily see and process every single situation, and make immediate sense of every hit I take. It’s a really cool game as well, one focused almost entirely on positioning and crowd control almost like a puzzle: understanding which enemies are most threatening and how a group’s threat ranges overlap in order to know which enemies to prioritise with which moves, while avoiding getting surrounded, overcommitting to something, or picking the wrong options for the situation (or alternatively, just pressing Axel’s dash attack an awful lot). I’ve been calling this “the world’s most fucked up neutral” in my head a lot, and I think that especially sticks out with the bosses: having to play slow and patient and basically whiff-punish enemies with ridiculous movement or damage, or that just have abilities that nothing else in the game can do. I’m also a big fan of how meaningfully different the game feels in 2p compared to 1p: in particular, I felt my usual footsies vs bosses just wasn’t as applicable due to all the natural consequences of it having two targets to focus on, rather than one. Having to actively mind your positioning compared to your partner is fun, as well; it’s very Monster Hunter, or maybe Monhun is very multiplayer beat em ups… (it’s more interesting here though :p) It’s a bit too long for me (1hr+) to ever really want to commit to a full run without a friend tethered to me, but it’s fun enough to where I’ve been playing lots by myself anyway, and just going for as long as I feel like. I started playing on the hardest difficulty before I had even cleared the game before, and being able to have genuinely difficult encounters straight out of the gate cemented that I just really, really love this game

-- it feels like she's being told that she MUST PLAY these games!!, even though we both know it's just a memory aid (which has happened in the past with similar lists)

I wonder if any of my friends have had these very specific issues and could weigh in on this perhaps
