i think we're at the point where games officially take too long to make

[were--ralph]

If you make a new console (Switch 2) and 99% of the games are remakes and remasters and ports for games already multiple years old and it's 9 months between Directs, i think the plot got lost somewhere and we need to go back shorter dev times for smaller faster games.

[were--ralph]

Porting a game from 2019 for your console, only a year old, i think there's an issue with a lack of games

[were--ralph]

anyway play more indie games support more indie devs etc

Okay maybe this is kinda the root of a feeling I’ve had lately about games. I have always been kinda picky about games, without any discernible rules. Maybe I like it maybe I don’t. So finding games to get sucked into is difficult. That’s fine.

But in the past several years (maybe since like 2018), I can think of really just a small handful of games that clicked for me. I’m not saying those are the only good games. I’m saying the frequency with which games are released is kinda dismal. Like whenever I find a really good game I have the smallest ping of sadness knowing it will be 2-3 years before I find another one.

Related complaint: I absolutely cannot stand the bullshit practice that studios have of teasing a game like 4 years before it is released. Fuck off Intergalactic. I’ve been looking forward to that game since it was announced two years ago. There is still not even a projected release date. How dare you garner the interest of players and drag them along for YEARS. I’ll give you maybe 1 year. An announcement… then a few months later a release date… then teasers leading up to the release. That’s fine. But how long has GTA6 been delayed? Fuck off!!!!

Taylor and Travis still feels like news to me but they’ve been together for 2/3 the amount of time she was with Joe, and those 6 years felt like an eternity to me. Not because of Toe, I just mean those 6 years were long for my life and the last 4 seem to have whizzed by (it’s the Covid time dilation I know this)

I feel like I got robbed when god didn’t give me the “enjoys weed” genes.

I’m a childless sacrilegious opinionated and outspoken woman. My favorite hobbies are video games and making art. I am SUPPOSED to take fat rips of a bong on sunny afternoons and before bed time.

But I hate weed. I hate the smell. I hate the way being high feels. I get fucking obliterated on the tiniest hit of a blunt and go catatonic for 8 hours or more every time.

Like if I had a genie and 3 wishes I would would wish for

I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!).

Rolling through act 1 and 2: Damm the developers were really committed to a consistent theme of art and pastiche. Love all these empty picture frames; what an intelligent use of assets to convey vibe and motif. They must've had this great idea of the Paintress and then were like "let's make everything about paint!" and I really respect their commitment here to putting it into all aspects of the lore. I love when a fantasy story re-flavors the world to be focused around a single idea. So fun and like, cheeky.

Act 3: ...Oh.

[wetegg]

There’s all these empty picture frames because no one can fill them. Verso struggled to paint, preferring music. He could never fill all the canvases the way his family expected. They cannot fill his canvas in his absence. You, playing as painted Verso, cannot fill the empty canvases. They cannot fill them because they are consumed in grief, and no longer inspired to create. The canvases remain empty, a mirror reflecting your role in their story.

I’m thinking about how Verso is the main PC but he’s not the main character. Doomed by the narrative ass character. The end choice isn’t even about him, even though painted verso has equal stake in the consequences of your choice, he is decentered. You’re choosing whether to make Maelle face reality and find healing within her family, or allow her to remain. When you choose to allow her to remain in the canvas, you erase Verso anyway. You don’t erase his agency, because painted Verso never had any to begin with. But you do reinforce that HE is not the one who matters. Only Maelle matters.

And if you choose to erase the canvas, you do it for Maelle and her family. You do it because it is wrong to allow her to drown in the canvas, in her grief. You do it because she deserves a life. Verso died to give her a life and she should live it.

[wetegg]

Are you getting this. He’s not there. Just as you, the player, are not there. Verso isn’t there. There’s his ghost, his echo, his memory, but most importantly there is his absence. But he’s everywhere. It’s HIS canvas. These are HIS creations you’re fighting. His footpaths you’re walking. His friends in your party. His family you have to save. His world, and his worldview. You exist in the vacuum he left behind: in the vast expanse of the canvas; in the black hole which the surviving Dessendre’s circle like a drain. But you do not fill the space. You play as painted verso who cannot fill the space. You can’t solve their grief. You, at best, can save them from the black hole and expel them from its gravity, leaving you behind and erased and absent, with finality.
