@vaporeon_ im sorry this was a joke answer

@vaporeon_ zelda is a green guy in a tunic who yell "yaaaa" a lot and kirby is the most powerful being in all of fiction

@vaporeon_ i didn't investigate this too hard but it seems reliable:

mmm. dragon's milk

@Lady @aescling @Satsuma marriage is just two girl friends in a trench coat

@aescling @vaporeon_ that is a very strange way to say "Wow! A fellow FORTH programmer! And they're a Toad!"

@vaporeon_ what does a computer toucher voice sound like

Minecraft has a speedrunning community, the base survival experience, hardcore mode, and huge subsets of fandoms specifically for some of the popular mods. Are we to say one can't judge Minecraft unless you engage with every single one of these systems?

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is one of my favorite games ever and I have never played classic mode once. Does this delegitimize my experience with the game?

What counts as 100%ing a game anyway? For Super Mario World is that just getting all of the exits? Or do we include getting every dragon coin too?

How do judge developer intentions of what counts are beating the whole of a game if the game was specifically designed to encourage creativity and experimentation? If you skip an entire quest in Tears of the Kingdom using some fuckass machine you built, are you skipping the game the developers built or are you engaging with it as intended?

@The_T @holly @vaporeon_ I would retort by challenging why we need to judge a game as a whole. It is perfectly valid to judge a subset of a game as long as you make it clear you are doing that

@The_T @holly @vaporeon_ I strongly disagree with this. Mario games offer a range of content so they can meet players where they are at.

There is content for heavily-invested players who want to see everything there is to offer (star coins/yoshi coins/blue coins/etc) and then there is a base game designed to appeal to a wide range of skill levels. And 64 and Sunshine have sandbox-y elements with the expressive controls and open-ended level design that will appeal to players who like creativity/expressivity. Neither of these is a "more legitimate" portion of the game

@The_T @holly @vaporeon_ I don't think a game is bad overall because the optional content sucks

@The_T @holly @vaporeon_ hell no

@The_T @holly @vaporeon_ I don't think Sunshine is a bad game. It is deeply flawed but there are enough good things to justify giving it a try

@Lady the Chinese places around me are disappointing:(

@Lady hell yeah

@Lady yeah that would have been fun

@onfy @vaporeon_ I'm not sure if it was actually difficult but I struggled to engage with language classes in general

@Lady I think the mistake you're making here is trying to make sense of the American educational system

@vaporeon_ ser and estar are spanish words that both translate to "to be" and which you should use is contextual and the rules for which should be used confused the hell out of me back when I took Spanish classes

shouts out to when our middle school had an asian history unit and as a capstone they forced all of us to eat whatever lunch we happened to bring with chopsticks

they had faculty surveying the lunchroom to reprimand any student caught using a fork

and that is the story of how i once ate applesauce with chopsticks
