Video Games Are Good

I hung out with a friend tonight, we played Night in the Woods for about two hours. At first it was a depressive-neurotic-small town-USA sim and that was good, then somewhere along the way it also became an edgy-teen sim (despite the characters being young adults) and I started to feel sleepy. It was also around two a.m. by then, so maybe it's that. I dunno, I'm not jazzed enough about it to buy the game myself.

It's hard to accept that the player character is a young adult when she's like half the height as anyone else. If that's due to some medical condition she has, it doesn't get mentioned in the game.

She's got parents who are much bigger than her

e: I mean, "kinda bigger"

March is the worst month for me. It's raining and I left my umbrella on the bus on the way to school, and now... my university apparently received a bomb threat?? Ugh!

When does Phoenix Wright get less-than-really-good? I've just completed the case with Von Karma (the vampire-looking prosecutor) and it feels great.

Jay Rust
Sep 27, 2011

So far the game hasn't forced me to look up a solution, a.k.a "how the hell was I supposed to figure that out" syndrome, which is probably the one thing that might break my enthusiasm if it happens too often too quickly.

What's everyone's favourite cartridge in terms of taste? The special gold-coloured Ocarina of Time cartridge for Nintendo 64 is probably mine, off the top of my head.

Is Missile the dog from Phoenix Wright's case with Von Karma the same Missile the dog from Ghost Trick?

So I know very little about the Switch tbh, is it just a Zelda machine for now?

So if you already own a Wii U, is there any reason to buy a Switch at the moment? I'm very ignorant

Jay Rust

So why are you Switch-buyers buying a Switch right now? I'm very ignorant

After Nintendo Power moved from a scoring system out of a hundred to a scoring system out of five, there was a letter to the editors published a few months later, arguing that a scoring system out of a hundred was far more precise. If one basketball game gets an 88 and another gets 87, it's pretty clear which one we should buy!

Isn't "funfactor" the only thing that counts in this world?

This is what reviews looked like back in 1998.

I wonder why Andy gave it an 8, and why he wasn't fired

The Wii was all like "get up and move!!" but now the Switch is "lie upon your deathbed"??

If a friend of mine did that, I would definitely push them into getting counselling, not even joking

Played another two hours of Night in the Woods, plot started to happen and my friend and I got into it, then the plot slowed but it was still okay. I think the game does mood really well, I do wish the main character was a little less edgy, she's one of those people who likes rain more than sunshine and I just can't get along with someone like that.

instead it will now be known as "breath of the wild speed runs.gif"

Can you even get Link to take off his shirt?

What I want is for video game developers to join hands and pick a single camera implementation, e.g. where the camera will turn if I press up and to the left on the right analog stick.

I just want all games to let me invert the Y axis because I'm a mutant and I can't play with it non-inverted. Wind Waker on the Wii U is challenging for me because you can't invert the Y axis.



Speaking of: can you invert the camera in Breath of the Wild?

Or maybe it's time you GET WITH THE PROGRAM

I don't even know what my camera preferences are without having a video game in front of me and a controller in my hands.

Like, if you asked me right now, "You push left on the analog stick, where do you want the camera to go," or "You want the camera to point up, what direction do you want to be pointing the analog stick," I have no idea.

This particular Phoenix Wright case had a few weird translation errors, I don't understand how they can happen.

I think it's less of a "take that, people who can't hear my 'take that'," more of a "I would like to communicate my pleasure, knowing that idiots are angry". As to whether those angry idiots exist, they certainly do

I was never able to beat the Nameless King in Dark Souls 3 when I first went through the game, and now, months later, I beat him on my first try with my current character. There's a greatshield that truly is great, it has 95% lightning resist, it trivializes the fight and I'm glad.
