I would love to write lists of “11 XX Genre Games You’ve Never Heard Of”, but people don’t click on them.

it’s not being held by duct, the game is just seriously complicated under the hood. things have been added piece meal to just get things up and out to players. kind of like.. game dev spaghetti code. but making changes down the line means if you mess something up, it can have a domino effect.

I decided it’s a roguelite, and that was my reason for not including it. I don’t think a game can count as a Metroidvania when you have to start over every 34 seconds : )

Some folks Coffeezilla talked to shelled out tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars on CryptoZoo because they believed Paul was a “changed man”

“Paul, who’s been on something of a redemption arc these last few years following the “suicide forest” fiasco in December 2017"

What possible sequence of events could have occurred for you to put forward the suggestion that Paul has been on ‘a redemption arc’ beyond the bare minimum of not going back to a suicide…

No, we’re putting people into groups so we can easily dismiss their opinion and never have to grapple with the possibility we have shit taste.

Like Ms Democracy. A superhero that doesn’t use the traditional “Mrs.” and then it goes downhill from there. She robs rich gun owners and uses the money to pay for abortions. A horrible character, by all accounts, a rogue, a rake!

Exactly my point I was attempting to sarcastically make. Tony Gilroy has talked a lot about how he’s not really into Star Wars, wouldn’t consider himself a fan of the series, but has made two of the best Star Wars things in the last 20 years (Andor, Rebel One)

This idea that only REAL fans of a thing should be the…

What the fuck is a democracy character? I mean, I can guess what they meant but holy shit is it inarticulate. 

I have a similar problem, mainly coming down to time and patience. When I was a kid it took me an entire year to beat Castlevania III. There’s no doubt I cracked a hundred + attempts on certain sections. Certainly I played other games while working at it, but I had the time to devote to it.
Tons of elements of the…

If you find it to be a frustratingly difficult slog then the game isn’t for you. A lot of people do not find them frustrating or difficult, or find the difficulty to be a positive rather than a negative. Games are meant to be fun, if you’re not having fun, then why play?

Nicholas Meyer wasn’t a fan of star trek and he made the 2 best star trek movies, Wrath of Kahn and Undiscovered Country. Though same for Stuart Baird and he made Nemesis... Point is fans aren't required just someone who understands the characters and story.

also any random artist can take inspiration from another, if i make a collage from say photos etc that makes up a picture is that my art or am i stealing other peoples art?

TL/DR: Go make a god damn collage. Make something you dare not show, something that makes you timid, uneasy, afraid to show to your family, your friends. Something so intimate you barely can look at it yourself. If you have the same opinion after that, then I simply don’t understand you at all. I’d say you hate…

That’s not a case against AI. That is a hurdle. Your problem seems to be with mankind in this case, more than its creations. Well of course the work of humans will resemble themselves, warts and all. The challenge is to improve and iterate past those flaws. Not to condemn all human technology that resembles its…

If you’re right, then I would advise you prepare a eulogy posthaste. Because you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. AI art will only become more ubiquitous by the day.

There is something to that. The more “involved” you are in creating art, the more meaningful and compelling it becomes. I mean, even before now, many people created art entirely by hand, and even so, chose to put very little thought and “intent” into what they created. And in all fairness, that’s ok. It didn’t make it…

That’s not entirely true. As it stands, yes, you could “generate” art by throwing a salad of words into any present AI art service, and 15 seconds later, publish that piece of art. And yes, that leaves you wanting when you examine this particular piece, more often than not.

The problem is that’s all we get is realism. For the last 17 years. The market is oversaturated with sims. Let’s have some Arcade fun! Like the good ‘ol days! Cruis’n Blast was a breath of fresh air!

It’s not a great snowboarding game. I played it. It’s garbage!

This is a great snowboarding game.

Get inspired developers! Fuck sim games!
