its good to see that the spintires guy eventually worked out his issues and went on to make other stuff, i know they werent paying him for a while and he was hella pissed. sorry i checked out on that whole thing in 2014 and needed to do some catching up, i cannot stress enough how good that stupid game is in co-op while you and your idiot friends try to pull each other out of the mud

If anything Iām kinda surprised/sad somebody didnāt snatch him up for tank sims, but then Graviteam has just been futzing about with strategy games for a while now and when the opportunity was really there I think the IL-2 guys had yet to say āwhat if we put a tank sim in our flight simā.

i feel so alienated
retro gamers are fucking horrible as a rule and i just cannot remotely gel in any of those communities
i love it here but my overlap in games we are interested in seems to shrink ever smaller. basically because i hate newer games, and hate/am ambivalent about indie games, and the only good newer games are indie games lmao
i feel out of place and out of time. i have been watching steven universe and wishing i was part of a different universe where anything made more sense. where i belonged.
i just want to make music that makes someone feel less alone for one moment, as much as possible, nothing else really matters to me
i donāt even know what i like or care about in games anymore. iām searching for something and i have no idea what it is or why it mattered. and i donāt know how to communicate this desperation to anyone at all. i am so lost.

i canāt claim to know exactly 100% what this feels like but i am going through something similar right now
like, literally the only games iāve been able to play for more than 15 minutes at a time are the halo mcc collection (filtered to halo 1 and 2 multiplayer) and super mega baseball 3
i just feel this intense ennui with everything else, every game that i feel like i could get with has 2 mechanics too many, every game that feels good early on reveals itself to be far too shallow for me to be super interested once i āgetā it, and i donāt feel like i have enough time to give anything the time of day
meanwhile i am on a music roll and somehow got booked for a show on the 18th so, ok

i feel like this wonderfully heartfelt post deserves a response with more gravity than iām able to impart right now but i at least wanted to say that i struggle somewhat similarly with not understanding what connects myself and video games, to the point where iāve asked about it here publicly a few times. i can feel in the weight of your words how distressing it is to you and just wanna let you know i (we!) hear you.
also no matter how overlapping the venn diagram is of your taste in games vs anyone elseās here, itās great to hear what you have to say about games. like those posts in the voting thread about f-zero x? i loved reading that shit and iām not alone in that!
i love this place because people actually care about video games in all sorts of weird and specific and moving ways and channel that into what they say about them. you do that very well! i sense a great respect for the kinesthetic feeling and mechanics of games in what iāve seen you write.
i love reading what people here (and basically only here) have to say about games even if (and this is honestly the case most of the time!) they are games i have no interest in ever playing or even actively dislike. because theyāre written with passion! and passion is one of the coolest things in the whole world!
also your reason for making music is beautiful and the world would be a much better place if that was more common.

Iām actually pretty sure that 90% of games that people like here are mostly each liked by one specific poster and each of these people is the worldās greatest advocate for that game

I have nothing but fond memories of it, though I faintly suspect the battle strategy is just awful and repetitive, and the tiles look like absolute shit in hindsight

haha so hereās the thing: NOT COVERED IN THE NOVEL. all that is said about them is that they are postivity to counter the Negati of Wonderworld. Somehow, the Tower of Tims is NEVER FUCKING MENTIONED MY GOD.
