@Lady though interestingly when it comes to very social games you end up in a situation where the meta itself ends up becoming something the player needs to negotiate, regardless of (though usually in addition to) Developer Intent

@Lady i feel like this is a dialectic negotiated on a per-game basis to an appreciable extent; something like gmod being built around the latter; linear narrative driven games designed around the former

@xenon i would greatly.supurrt this

@Lady i think of games as too hard to define to have an answer to this poll i would purrsonally be satisfied with

@coriander @Lady i was so annoyed by the datalogs because

1. put that shit in the overworld??? make exploring worth anything???????
2. it’s a bunch of references and repetition of story that’s already explained in just. the cutscenes. and then like. eggman’s opinions on the main cast. idc do something INTERESTING i am BEGGING you

@coriander @Lady it’s supposed to be a Touching Father Daughter Relationship but like. he’s kinda shit. lmao

@coriander @Lady it’s also undermined pretty hard by eggman being an asshole the whole time to her up to that point

@Lady i like her anyway but her arc doesn’t really, land

@Lady they added a new character and i want to love her so much but unfortunately the story is b a d

@Lady one more reason sonic frontiers was frustrating

@alyssa @Lady yeah fresh blueberries can have a snappiness (crunchines?....) to them and it is much preferable that way

@Lady @alyssa i just like blueberries

@alyssa can’t relate; i love blueberry

@coriander @Lady ruff

@coriander @Lady arf arf

@monorail also it IS funny

@monorail nah it’s fine, say bad takes, get shit on imo lol

@Lady unfurtunately i have to be able to respond to my job

@monorail like I was actually being kinda serious lol and i’m embarrassed about it

@monorail yeh
