@Lady @vaporeon_ @aescling oh i didn't know that, my bad
@vaporeon_ I wasn't aware that the term Nintendo Adult existed
@vaporeon_ reported for dishonesty
@vaporeon_ @aescling fun fact: The phrase "Twilight Princess" is The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is likely not referring to Zelda lmao
@aescling @vaporeon_ too slow
@vaporeon_ @aescling The Zelda series has been adventurous with its art style over the years so we have many different Zeldas:
@vaporeon_ @aescling shout outs to one the games that made a playable female main character and it was Linkle, not Zelda lmao
@vaporeon_ @aescling its one of the great mysteries of our time

@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
