  • You know, I think it’s more than that.

    I played Animal Well, and it gives you nothing (other than really great game design). Grabbed onto my brain and didn’t let me go for 2 weeks while I scoured ever pixel of that place for items and eggs and secrets. Dozens and dozens of hours figuring out everything I could on my own thay didn’t require multiple players to get the pieces.

    I love Metroid, and games like it. Most 2D Metroid (The first one didn’t grab me), Ori 1+2, a dozen Castlevanias, and a host of other titles. Even some that pre-date Metroid (Below the Root on Commodore 64 is excellent).

    I played Hollow Knight for a few hours and got bored. This one just isn’t compelling. I’ll get back to it eventually, I’m just not excited to play it. I really don’t know what all the hype is about, it’s fairly bland compared to its peers (regardless of release year).












  • Because the people voting for him are - themselves - childish, contrarian, armchair political pundits, who picked a jackass because they started out thinking it was a funny meme, but now have to pretend like they did it on purpose because someone said they were a fucking moron at thanksgiving and they’re leaning into it out of spite.

    Well, that’s some of them. Some of them are just fucking idiots who think that the rising racist tide will lift their boat higher than the minorities that get paid more than them (because they’re actually good at their jobs).
