the only way to get kojima to quit is to defeat him in a contest of wits and if you lose he steals your youth

Heck yes! But I am not sure how to make a game. This is wish it is quite the pipe dream.



This would be the closest kind of game, right now, that I could make. I love writing detective stories and if I was to make a game I would want to make a police one with a cool mystery and a Visual Novel is the only way I could currently create something.

Ren'Py is free and is flexible enough to do a variety of different things in it, whether you want to make just a visual novel or if you want to futz around with it some and end up with something a bit more in-depth like Long Live The Queen or Magical Diary.

I had an idea for a VN once too but I committed to the fact that I'm never going to finish anything that I want to make because it's easier on my head to accept the defeat early on rather than later when I've gotten partway in, hit a brick wall, and realize I can't figure out what to do to fix whatever problem I'm having at the time.

I should probably try to make some text-based games or something, because I think if I was ever able to work in game development I'd really want to work in quest or narrative design. Even having read about what that job is like, I think I'd enjoy it. I like collaborative writing projects and I have no problem working within someone else's framework. Obviously some studios would be a nightmare to write for, but I know that's not the case everywhere.

I spend probably 40% of my take-home income on pizza so this would just be expediting the process.

I was reading the TVtropes page the other day while listening to the soundtrack like a giant nerd. Been thinking of connecting my 360 again and playing through it since I only did so once when it came out. Never got around to playing the epilogue DLC either despite buying it.
the finale of that game is the best part of it and they were right to charge five more dollars for it, it's so good. Enjoy, gamer

Doesn't sound much different from where I work now, honestly

(That's a joke, I'm well aware that where I work now is probably the least exploitative and terrible big software company I'm aware of, probably due to being outside of silicon valley and not being publicly traded. Still no unions or overtime, though.)

A bit late with this but for long essay style critical analysis Noah Caldwell-Gervais makes some of the best videos around imo https://www.youtube.com/user/broadcaststsatic/feed

His recent video on Soma & Tacoma is excellent
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U_rfYXXdOY

And his video on Jalopy! is nice bite sized little introduction to his style and what he finds valuable in games if you don't want to go through an hour+ long video

I got bored last night and ended up watching that episode of cheers where Rebecca turns the pool room into a tea room and drat, I can't tell if the episode was trying to make me dislike just Sam or if it was trying to make me dislike both Sam and Rebecca, especially with the whole setup being her making a tea room and getting to keep it if she makes 500 bucks off of it, but the tea room doesn't make money until she starts selling someone else's chili there and then when the pressure cooker explodes and damages the room and Sam's sorry, she demands that if he's so sad he should cry right then and there, and when he can't cry, she decides he must not be sad and goes and smashes up his car to make him cry.

Idk. I feel like it was trying to make Rebecca the overall winner but they both just ended up coming across as assholes.

Yeah it's just a tv show but I don't have anything else to talk about right now, sorry, so I'm just thinking about stupid poo poo like this.

Rebecca is the worst character on Cheers.
