Sakurai: "this game was a one button game for simplicity's sake, but we had to add a second button. please understand"

the game:
A list of control customizations you can make for Kirby Air Riders. There are at least 7 options on this menu, and it looks like there's more options off the top and bottom.

My rendition of "Artist" from "Draw 100: Manga: From basic shapes to amazing drawings in super-easy steps", by Yishan Li. I wish colored pencil was easier to erase...

i guess you CAN use layers in real life
Prin Prin Moth Moth, a fusion of Princess Peach and SMT Mothman. A streamer's OC. The only part colored so far is the eyes.

any programming language that's popular enough will be abused by people who have no idea how coherency works
The basic format of an SQL query I was handed today to extract information out of (it was a LOT more complicated and had 50,000 function calls but I can't just give that to the internet). It is SQL with recursive SELECT DISTINCT clauses. It recurses 6 times and eventually clips out of the picture for comedic effect. At the top is a WITH Z AS so I can just address it as one table and do the joins I need. If they don't give a shit about having any level of coherency, I'm not going to bother.

mothman is hard to draw
a simple mothman with the worst wings you ever did see. on the right, "these wings are shit", also asking if the feathers at the edge are fingers. on the left, it at least looks like a wing but "this might be too high level for you" just a mothman wing sans mothman. "a little better". "maybe would work better with color"

does everyone remember when people asked if kirby and the forgotten land was basically super mario odyssey 2?
"You might be asking yourself if it's basically Mario Kart." -Sakurai, in his video for Kirby Air Riders

Soma Cruz crouching in a corner punching while Manticore can't get to him. This is a safe spot. On the right side of the screen is shown a Java program that holds Down on the keyboard and mashes the X (B/Attack) button.

The true Void Stranger begins after you buy the DLC #VoidStranger
Void Stranger soundtrack files downloaded to my phone. Each file starts with the words "Elegy of the Stars - Void Stranger Original Soundtrack". On my phone's music player, it is impossible to know which file is which from the menu.

it takes months to hype myself up to playing a video game

and i went with whatever the fuck this is
Title screen for a game called Squishcraft. It's one dude's face like 50 times. It looks really fucking stupid. A post about this game doesn't really do it justice unless I show off that you can change your character avatar to something other than a random dude's face. In this level, my Blanc face stands in front of a bunch of blocks that have a catgirl's face on them. Before you ask, that catgirl face is the actual built-in graphic for standard blocks. A bunch of other stuff is going on in this level but I don't have time to go over that shit.

reminder that backseating has been a problem in gaming for at least 35 years
Title screen for Lemmings on SNES. Ported by Sunsoft to the system in 1992, the game has a text scroll that warns you to "Beware of back seat players!"

kojima is a true genius
"Then he said, 'I’m going to be very honest, we have been testing the game with players and the results are too good. They like it too much. That means something is wrong; we have to change something.' And he changed stuff in the script and the way some crucial stuff [happens] in the game because he thought his work was not polarizing and not triggering enough emotions." According to Kojima, "If everyone likes [your work], it means it’s mainstream. It means it’s conventional. It means it’s already pre-digested for people to like it." "I don’t want that," Kojima reportedly told Lemoine. "I want people to end up liking things they didn’t like when they first encountered it, because that’s where you really end up loving something."
