There is something so brazen about an OoT remake as a cultural object. We've hit the critical mass of cynical nostalgia slop. This game's components have been iterated upon by literally thousands of projects for the last 25 years. It's the homo erectus of 3D games. It's Leavened Bread 1, "hey guys look what happens if I put yeast in it!" and Nintendo has put Bread 1 on a gold-trimmed plate and knows, without any reasonable doubt, that their audience will give them $70 +tax for it.

Dante x Rose toxic yuri?

"Toxic" implies that there's anything mutual happening where there really isn't. It's just predation, which I have no desire to spend time illustrating further.

my self-inflicted tedium for the first bit of this year has been making a Hollow Knight skin! dm me if you'd like a link to the pngs :]

Knight design is based on wraithcrw's sona, original design is by @moonlitvesper

idr how this came up but we were talking about how god-awful the third ED is and decided we should just replace Winry with Scar. I don't draw on model very often but it really was necessitated for The Bit. So here he is.

test-driving a new take that every cutscene represents a failure of game design.

[mollyjames]

I like it when a video game boss has a little cutscene like a professional wrestler intro

[woimdoodles]

The "mmmm but also From" of it all is the only thing that keeps me from committing to this (extreme, I get it) idea entirely. The wrestler intro gets the pass from me because it respects my time enough not to spend more than 15 seconds pulling me from my interfacing with the game's systems. It's rarely an exposition monologue, and I can appreciate its spectacle even if I haven't been following along with the optional lore. A little hype treat for the main event.

I recently made the arguable mistake of playing Outer Wilds and BG3 at more or less the same time, which is absolutely coloring my thoughts. One of these games is a puzzle box with none of the traditional signposts for A Story Game. The other desperately wants me to care about its characters and world events, but can offer little more than breathy, context-free exposition monologues and cutscenes that ultimately have very little to do with how I interface with the game. One moved me to tears (which is really a once-a-year-at-best thing for me and a piece of media), and the other I'm struggling to care enough to finish.

I'm cautiously excited about our blossoming understanding of what character and setting and narrative means in an interactive medium.
