Absolutely floored me when they went "paid game" like I know 1-2-switch wasn't a pack-in either but still just. lol

No, that's, not quite right. It's making official something that game publishers that didn't want to pay for a higher capacity switch cart were already doing.

sorry I know this isn't the point I'm just stuck wondering what this was even translated from to begin with because there aren't any words I know of that could be readily interpreted as both "chair" and "couch" in standard usage

unless it's a joke of some kind, some part of me feels like this must have been a mistranslation even without context? if the original word was 席 (a general term), then "chair" would be an unnecessary guess. if it was 椅子, then I think the JP would also feel awkward. maybe it was originally 長椅子??

I'm not sure either? I'm fairly certain stepping away for days at a time is still ultimately *better* for my mental health but yeah, the balance is tough to find, I'm not even really sure there actually is a "right" balance

she will do this until the end of the game and it will *never* go anywhere lol

you should play Tokimeki Memorial 3 so you can experience a very similar character archetype Except She Sucks

Thank you so much for the kind words!! We're doing the best we can to make the game as good as we can get it.

Done for now, but this felt nice! I'll probably do more of these in the near-ish future, and maybe a *little* less late at night. Thanks to anyone who dropped in!

oh but also there's twinbee rpg that games sucks and owns in equal measure and i was enraptured by for reasons i'm not entirely sure of so ok i'm not immune to it

not just "bad" games necessarily, either - I'll see talk of games, entire classes of game, that I simply don't see much in, but the tone will be earnest, the magic appreciated without irony. You then take the magic I do not see and create something in which I *do* see magic. it's interesting to me

I enjoy discovering textured works, things that are imperfect but as I look back at the things I've rated most highly, I think I actually feel a much greater thrill at discovering something finely tuned, something unique and yet honed, where someone not only had a vision but realized it precisely.

...is because they receive less forthright praise than flashier, smoother works, or are more readily written off. I don't really have a point here, I'm just kind of musing, but it's just interesting to find myself among people whose taste in both games and game design vary so heavily from mine.

I imagine just about everyone does appreciate these things to some extent in combination with a game whose vibes and design philosophy gels with them, so my gut tells me a large part of the reason a number of my colleagues go to bat for games that modern "good game design" practices shun... (3/4)

...not *alienating* exactly, but just like... I love "polish." I love the mirror sheen that a game radiates when UI, sounds, animation, etc. come together in a way that has that specific elegance or smoothness. When things are paced *just so.* (2/4)

I did feel a strong dip in motivation partway through my currently-on-hiatus project but I would attribute that at least in part to just not having a lot of feedback to work with, nor much momentum at the time for various reasons. I try to set things up so I'm enjoying almost all of the process.
