MY HUSBAND SMELLS BAD


Hoping to make the game easier? Amp up the challenge? Looking to get WEIRD???? 🥸 We’ve got you covered. Mina the Hollower has tons of built-in modifiers that customize your experience from the lenient to the punishing. 💪 What kind of experience are YOU going to craft? 👾


I want to tell a story. My daughter like video games. Maybe not the same video games I do, but she's liked the games she's liked over the years. Splatoon, Mario 3D World, Stardew Valley, Genshin Impact, Roblox, etc. One of the game she played when she was like 11, was Celeste. She like the visuals and simple core controls of the game. It was also WAY too hard for her, and she was never going to be able to clear it. But thankfully, Celeste had this Assist Mode in the game. Not something I'd personally use, but she did and it allowed her to experience the game entirely in a way that she enjoyed and looks back fondly on. Having this didn't ruin the game for speed runners, and didn't detract from its amazing level design. But it did allow her to enjoy the game. It was a good reminder for me, and I always look back at this as a great example of game design. When I was young (old joke here), it was stuff like Game Genie that would do this. Or the Konami code. Aint no way I would beat Contra without 30 lives...but thanks to that Konami code, I have fond memories of the game and it's final levels. Same with TMNT2 and its reverse code. All of this is to say, games having "cheats" for the player to be able to get past tough parts is something I will always advocate for. It keeps games more open to people who will enjoy them, and they can then challenge themselves as they get more into it. Aint nothing wrong with that. TLDR - These features in Mina look neat. I'm excited to play the base game, and admire the dev team for making so many cool options!

I know of two children who died in freak accidents that were so random nothing short of keeping them in locked, padded rooms their entire childhoods would have prevented their deaths. I think about them more than I should and wonder how much matters.
