feel kind of bad

i’ve had the King Princess album stuck in my head all day and been very cross about it because it’s good but like it could be better

(i’m upset about the death of act structures for different reasons because i liked them in zelda but)

but act structures peaked with Dragon Age 2 and now people are like “you can go where you want and do what you want!!” but there’s no way of like, quantifying that into meaningful narrative progression because every quest has to stand on its own

like all of the good bioware games were just this formula right

honestly “this game is a number of acts, each with a number of quests, and the end state of the quests in the previous act influences the quests in the current act” is a really effective way of structuring a game to produce meaningful choices and also seems completely alien to contemporary open‐world game design

@SongsGoblin if it's from the 00s and people say it's cringe that means it's actually rad as fuck

@gaditb @KitRedgrave idk in a house you can each have your own room but in emacs you have to share EVERYTHING

what was even the point then???

@alyssa spading is a term in some gaming communities (pokémon) derived from the Explorer Bartle classification

wait so they made a cuphead TV show and they DIDN'T animate it like oldschool mickey mouse?? somebody shared a clip on tumblr and this just looks like spongebob with a film grain filter

@KitRedgrave lol yeah i mean

haiku with apple's budget could be cool

@KitRedgrave oh i think i'm thinking of the BeOS people, Haiku

@KitRedgrave but yes it's frustrating that i can't be mad at apple's automation capabilities because every alternative is worse

@KitRedgrave aren't the bsd folks interested in this or is that just propaganda

@Satsuma oh it looks like you already kudosed that one so i'll re-up the “scuds of semen-white flowers” fic in case you never actually read it https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10322446/

if you prefer to read it in a forum it was originally serialized on bulbagarden
