Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

In Blazblue, the character Platinum the Trinity has a jab where they do either rock, paper or scissors
This makes no difference in almost all situations EXCEPT when they are fighting another Platinum. If they both jab each other at the same time, the "winner" gets the hit

I used to think that my feelings on games looking more unique when I was a kid was mostly nostalgia. Turns out I was just right all along. This is a video about that.

hardware prices are out of control...and sadly NVIDIA still reported making a ton of money so we're still have to wait for everything to come crashing down
Valve’s newly announced Steam Machine will be priced “like a PC, rather than like a console”, the company has reportedly said.

the shit that people hate about nintendo direct - a smooth-talking tour guide telling you how you're supposed to feel, what's supposed to charm you, with all the emotional complexity of dora the explorer - is baked into so many games now!!
most nintendo output, yes, but it's more broadly endemic!

That bit in Metroid prime 4 where we are hanging out with the chozos and one of them flies past and samus says "they fly now?" And her sidekick Cuthbert says "they fly now" is a chef's kiss

every decision informed by this being the Company Who Can't Be Normal About Women. whatever they're doing is also from the guys who think her main personality trait is "Maternal" and that her armor should get blown off to reveal an ugly-ass latex fetish outfit with built in heels.

Metroid is fascinating because in mechanics, atmosphere, and tone it was iconic out the gate in ways everyone but the IP owner has appreciated and iterated on ever since.
Can't think of a series that spawned as many imitators while the rights holders act like its fundamentals are boring and broken.

Metroid was popular with women and even a small but loyal queer/trans fanbase due to some admittedly genuine mistakes in early marketing stuff but they never forgave it for appealing to either and every game since Prime has to be some weird humiliation ritual
Oof. 😢

So let me get this straight. I'm somewhere that's NOT what I would call Zebes... I'm seeing freaking Metroids, and... oh yeah I'm talking to an ALIEN. Yeah okay that is something that I do now. I do psychic powers, kill jacked-up beasts, I'll probably fly next.

Vertex colors are crucial to Angeline Era's unique, low-poly art style!
Much of the game's cube-based artwork is actually black and white. We then use a color palette system to create most of the game's vivid forests and towns!🌲

Thinking again about how fucking bizarre it was to see channer culture shift from "get those men out of my yuri" to full on homophobic panics about even implied lesbian relationships and the possibility that a trans person might like it

NieR Automata genuinely might be one of the most important game releases of all time explicitly because of how it directly inspired DXVK, yes.

Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).
I hate this.
