hello i am going to explain to you how fnaf drives children insane, plz listen if you want to and those who dont want to plz dont irreverently undercut this with a snide comment and be polite plz
FNAF functions as a post-modern mythos akin to Evangelion, but it's denied the same dignity for...
Cold Analytical Flygon : I wouldn't mind Minecraft's grind if the tax for player failure wasn't so disproportionate. Permanent item loss is nonsense, imagine if you were to lose a quarter of your levels upon game over in any other RPG? Wii U is my personal optimal way to enjoy this mode of play...
describing frustration with humor is the hardest struggle for me besides the daemons. i've grown to dislike the mario rpg comic language because of how suburban polite it is, idk. that is the best i can phrase it. so presumptive and stereotypical and easily sociable bleh be a thinking freakkkk...
Have you read Don Quixote? I'm reading Don Quixote -- started to -- Ormbsy's long-winded Victorian lectures exhaust me as much as they teach. Cervantes is neat, really neat. I've felt like Don Quixote for the longest time.
What makes FNAF's narrative captivating is how Scott elected to communicate it through an early 2000s-2010s American indie game discipline??? Simply effective arcade game loops and storytelling principles, economic graphics and audio? Spectacle is anti-thetical to what made the franchise...
William Afton is to Scott Cawthon almost like Junko Enoshima is to Kazutaka Kodaka: when your nation's fascism drives you so insane you give your shadow a persona and a fursona. The parallels between the Junko/Monokuma dynamic and the Afton/Springbonnie dynamic aren't complete coincidence...
video game narratives matter
the simplicity of a narrative doesn't negate what it is
narrative can be made through things other than dialogue, if the artist chooses to include dialogue it need not always be epic angst.
visuals are language, audio is language, physics are language, these all...
perhaps the funniest and most disappointing response that i could've gotten to articulation of what i like abt rpgs thx for concern a bit for attention to detail in that respect
A relatively unfiltered mathematical brutality is the RPG's defining characteristic, which it endears it to me so deeply. Its unpeeled systematic violence, in its space and how the many responses that can be found/made profoundly trigger primal parts of my Self. Destruction and creation, craft...
Cucumber Quest will fill a Paper Mario sized hole in your heart. Its vanilla surface is deceptive; it's a deconstruction of the Mario RPG format that articulates and exemplifies what makes them resonate narratively. This story is literally perfectly crafted to appeal to the main demographic of...
The for-profit structure of the video game industry disallows localization to have the proper intimacy it deserves. But I guess it makes more interesting socio-politically in a twisted way? Japanese artist makes their ideal everyman character, light skinned, brown/black hair, abstract cartoon...
At this point I've realized that this community is impenetrable for me. Childhood neurosis has outcasted myself to an extent which I can't really recover from, not meaningfully. I am too emotionally and physically crippled to produce anything anyone here would sincerely enjoy, nothing of value...
Mickey Mouse baffles me, they gave him eyes within the outlines of the eyes he had. I understand the re-design gave him "endearing" humanistic expressions, it maintained the character's key shape language, but fucking hell it makes the anatomy of his face disturbing. Turning the empty space left...
It's stylistically interesting and unique, used to be anyway, the strong mixed media approach is endearing. His videos ingrained a lot of meme soundbytes into my head. Old stuff can be cute when there aren't slurs and nasty stuff like that, new stuff, I don't care all that much about.
Bubsy Trilogy.
He's so fugging cute guys, I love him, he's such a smug dorky dork. The lives killed the fun, that's why I used save states. When lives were a non-factor, I was put into the same mental state I went into when I played Syobon Action, the trial and error is oddly satisfying. I love...
Super Mario Sunshine Eclipse is such a great hack, it's Sunshine but actually well-structured. This game has my favorite Mario aesthetic maybe. it's very 2000s kid anime, funny, colorful, exaggerated, and it's not super concerned with traditional beauty. I liked when Nintendo games weren't...
Now appreciating how FNAF calls the animatronics' mechs "endoskeletons", very animalistic. The way the series blurs life, death and what was never alive is underrated tbh.
We need to kill those meme compilation YT Shorts channels, their platforms only function to demolish attention spans and manufacture alt right nuts out of insecure middle school and high school kids.
It will be a total disaster I think. No way Spindleroo will be able to properly adapt a comic as long and meta as Homestuck, the team just lacks the experience.
Homestuck is getting an animated pilot by the Hazbin Hotel people and also one of the main characters is going to be voiced by Toby Fox.
I'm fucking dead on the floor rn.
I want to give ATLA another chance to properly articulate why it failed to click with me stylistically in almost every way besides visually.
I'll say it was very Hollywood, very cinematic and very tiring at its worst.
I liked when Team Avatar went to that theater at a beach at night or...
I don't know how to feel about 4Kids Pokémon dubs, to an extent I understand some decisions and sometimes they're pretty insulting. There's censorship that makes sense because at the end of the day they had to adhere to American conservative broadcast standards but wiping any hint of Japanese...
I can see the appeal, what bugs me about shows like it is how easily they can get away with the mean "jokes". The low brow humor isn't the malicious part it's how it can act like a pre-built defense from critique, I don't think the creators were super villains or anything and this was all...
Currently thinking about how Dorkly characterized Tails as like this random dude the same age as Sonic who has... Kids? I remembered hate binging their skits for kinda masochistic reasons but maybe to articulate my feelings about their sense of humor as well, here I am.
The media illiteracy of...
