I should have said more, for once. I meant simulation more to describe the Bethesda house style, which seems to be this idea that having apples that can roll around on a table or whatever is immersive and engaging enough that you don’t need Michael Kirkbride hanging around putting weird metaphysical shit all over the place, actually. I wasn’t saying they were good at it, only that it appears to be what they think.

I think they really don’t believe in storytelling in the way traditional game writers do. They think enough simulation can replace good writing.

Personally I’m certain they are wrong, and it’s tragic that they own the Elder Scrolls IP.

Just got into using Syncthing for my home network, was thinking I should add it to my phone. Makes sense it dies the instant I consider it

Note to self: it’s not funny, okay

What a gift we’ve had, all these decades.

More just indicative of the hostile posture of corporations

Expecting your first indie release to be perfect is putting insane expectations on yourself. The worst things you can do at this point are to give up or fail to reflect on what you’ve learned. Think on what you would have done differently with what you know now - and then do not waste the lesson.

Yeah but remember the way Xbox started up? So futuristic. Boomba Boom boom SQUAAAOOW blblblbblbltingley bingley beep beep dink. That could never be retro.

I’m really happy with my few hours in it. I was afraid it’d be another Rain World situation where I can tell I like it and admire the craft but don’t actually feel the need to play it much, but I do find it enticing still.

I mean that I’ve never owned or used a handheld emulator, but if I did it’s gonna be the one you mentioned.

It’s comments like this that I trust with my life
