we’re also getting pretty uncanny valley with a lot of the human models

thank :]

for me it’s mostly because I am too depressed and unmotivated to get out of bed and go sit in front of the console/PC but not depressed enough to put the dumb addictive black rectangle down

(i am taking medication i hope this changes)

Mother 3

it feels like it was made for my brain specifically to enjoy it lol

Pixel Partners for all your Japanese puzzle RPG needs. they’re hysterical

Ten More Minutes just 2 chill dudes who have a lot of fascinating gaming industry experience they talk about while playing

Ellen McLain is a legend

Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!

WOLOLO

“I want to get off MR BONES WILD RIDE”

Don’t look, now! I’m not going to stick my butt out or anything like that, though.

DO A BARREL ROLL!

A woman’s place is in the garage, fixing cars!

Oh. It’s you.

You will pay for this in time.

Mother I feel like changed the way I view storytelling and RPG game design, like I use it as a mental benchmark for story-driven and/or turn based RPGs

Like I don’t think I would have appreciated OFF or Omori the same way without having played Mother games as a teen

anyone writing a story set in the distant future please make NYT the dominant video game company lol

i mean nintendo did start out as a playing card manufacturer, nokia was originally a paper pulp mill, etc.

I, a casual PC gamer, played it with a hardcore console gamer, and it was very fun overall

But BOY were there some shooter sections that absolutely dismembered me with my WASD-brain 💀

I second Portal. Technically it’s a “first person puzzle platformer” but it’s just so its own thing that it hardly feels like a video game.

My mom who hadn’t touched any video games since 80s arcade machines absolutely loved Portal

Roll jumping in Jak & Daxter. There was a whole area of Sandover Village that was inaccessible without it and I killed at least an hour failing to double-jump-spin over to it 🤬

I was pretty emotionally stunted and depressed as a teenager and had trouble crying even when I wanted to (it’s a horrible feeling, physically) so Earthbound and Mother 3 were therapeutic

yep! it’s excellent for that

yep! it’s excellent for that

welcome to the rabbit hole lol
