@xianc78 oh, plenty of people are willing to play a 40 hour action adventure game. not many people are willing to make one, though. it's waaaay easier to make a turn-based RPG.

so i've been watching silent hill ascension, and it's truly, utterly horrible. in pretty much every way imaginable. people are debating whether or not it is made with AI and the consensus seems to be that AI would do a better job.

i just got to the part where two characters, one who is married to a different woman, are about to partake in a "merging ritual" so that their souls can become one and they will be stronger, so they can take on "the withering." basically they are going to bang and it's only very lightly veiled as a ritual.

oh yeah and this "withering" is what they call the transition to the world where all the monsters are. except it's not really the same as silent hill where it is a parallel world, it seems like it is a different plane that can connect people even through different continents. 9 episodes in, and "silent hill" hasn't been mentioned ONCE. it's like a completely brand new story that they decided to slap the silent hill name on just because. there is no connection whatsoever.

it's cringe but in a way that makes you want to see how much worse it can possibly get lol. it's rife with inconsistencies, horrible dialogue and acting, uncanny animations, and complete nonsensical and unexplained behaviors/motivations. it is closer to The Room than any other piece of media i've witnessed and if it weren't being touted as silent hill i'd love it xD

@ChristiJunior @rasterman @MeBigbrain his videos on DOOM and Wolfenstein were very redpilling

@xianc78 that me :D

maybe i'm selling myself short but for real lol i have basically no idea what i'm doing when it comes to battles and they are very basic. as long as they work and are generally balanced though that's all i'm really looking for.

the focus is definitely heavily geared towards the world. kind of what i went into the development for, just to make an interesting world. the plot rests on top of it, and the battles/puzzles serve as a way to justify it being a game.

gen 3 was the best gen ever man. maybe it's true that whatever the first gen you played will always be your favorite, but idk it was at a time where gaming was still so magical and the tech was there to actually realize a lot of the vision that those old devs had.

and the music, man... the music... every time i listen to it i'm whisked back to being a kid again. playing on my gba. lying under the dining room table trying to translate braille. i lost my gba and emerald for a couple of years and assumed it was missing but when we moved i found it inside of the couch. cried my eyes out.

that's one of the only relics from my childhood i still have, the gba and that copy of emerald. unfortunately the battery died so i can't save the game anymore and i lost my old save, but the memories are still there. i wanna go back

@LukeAlmighty i'm just glad the dad is there

@RehnSturm256 @LukeAlmighty children don't deserve being compared to them, they are satanists

@UncleIroh i eat a sandwich without really thinking about it lol, it takes me like 10 minutes and i'm scrolling through fedi or whatever while i do it so i don't pay attention. it all tastes the same to me.

@UncleIroh i usually eat my sandwiches from left to right and then backwards the next line down. if that makes sense. so probably would be B, then A, and C would be last.

@mitchconner both clips are good lol as much as i don't think he's the right man for the country he is fucking hilarious
