One thing about living in the bay area is going somewhere and seeing a billboard for a regular tv show and feeling a weird sense of relief or excitement

The idea that shinies are all lighting phenomena like the famous dress… genius

I genuinely don’t believe anyone wants hyperpersonalized media. People YEARN for communal viewing. Barbenheimer. Game of Thrones. Heated Rivalry. Part of the thrill is other people experiencing it with us. We should be bringing back appointment tv and 90 day theatrical releases

today on the streetcar the man sitting across from me ended what seemed like an important business call with “well, as snoopy would say: gawrsh!” then he frowned, looked at me, mouthed “goofy?”, I nodded, then he said “I’m just being goofy!” and hung up, and gave me a thumbs up

Someone should make a video game that is actively harmful, not like its propaganda for dangerous opinions but just simply playing it somehow measurably deteriorates your physical/mental/emotional health like just booting it up and playing for an hour guarantees you ruin your day

i will defend mixtape: that clip going around of the no fail state running? imo it actually shows multiple fail states. sometimes the point of a linear narrative is to act out ie “play” the scene so it feels right. not controlling and letting stacey crash looks bad! failure!
English
@kojimahead thank you. so many people getting got by what is essentially the mario 64 meme. Like yeah, it does suck when I don’t do anything and let it be boring, but I have fun when I press the buttons that make it cooler

the fail state for me is how the scene doesn't hit or simply isn't cool if I fuck it up, the fact I didn't encounter any "fail states" on my run of this during my playthrough was what made it such a highlight.
gamers in 2026 simply hate whimsy and that's fine but just say so.

@luke21357 To be clear, I'm not trying to convince you it's good. Just trying to get on the same page about the sequence being a ridealong to a fantasy, which I think we actually agree on now. Whole other convo to be had about whether we feel the punishment/rewards do justice to that choice
English
@luke21357 The fantasy is doing that perfectly. Just like a rhythm game still passes you for being just okay but the fun is getting it perfect. The devs could have gone further to make the punishment animations more dramatic, but it's a valid design choice to not derail after a mistake.

Never seen a more obvious case of approaching something in bad faith

@Zingus5 I feel crazy seeing it shared or advertised as "the soulslike you can play with your kids" when it is obviously about jiggle physics
English
Love when a game tries to purposefully use culture war talking points to advertise itself and then you actually look at the game and it's the most soulless UE4 asset flip survival crafting garbage ever made

You know who DOESN'T use any "Consultants"... Luminary We just make what we want to see in our game. It's that simple. How do you feel about game companies using "consultants"?

@kendrictonn @bunkstunkis Wait I thought that was make up a song *about* you.

tearing up at the idea of asking a stranger at the bus stop to make up a song with you while you wait for the bus. no reason why you can’t do this. A better world awaits, if only I could be brave enough

@kendrictonn Entering the bus with a beautiful new folk song and a lifelong grudge against my fellow rider, it’s almost too beautiful to imagine 🥹
