I got every single achievement in Blue Dragon which is proof that I definitely know what sadness. is.
A good number of those achievements involved wrapping rubberbands around the analog sticks and checking in every few hours to make sure my 360 hadnât overheated.

Youâre a monster!! I was looking at the achievement list earlier and thinking about how sadistic it was â especially having you perfectly clear mini games that only pop up once per play through and donât let you practice them beforehand or retry them after.

Another day another Portland arcade trip. This time to quarter world.
Still losing it over actually getting to try the Sega Hologram system. Like the game was shit, but it was such a good gimmick.

wow I had completely forgotten about the sega hologram thing. the arcade I went to as a kid had one of those things
Baba is You does a good job of hitting me over the head, just when I start to think itâs too easy

yeah one of the many things it does better than SSR is that the whole first world is really doable and fun and gentle and then itâs on
yeah i used to waste so much money trying to get past the first encounter at golfland as a kid!
SEEING IT AGAIN MAKES ME SO ANGRY

I found Baba is You basically relentless for the entire rest of the game. I wouldnât have minded some filler puzzles later on too, to vary up the pacing and give me some cheap bursts of satisfaction. The game has so much discipline around puzzle nonredundancy and formal consistency, but there is a sense in which âworse is betterâ too.

for whatever reason, i came across the holographic Sega games a lot as a kid. i think there were three (?), but i only saw two - Time Traveler and Holosseum.
they were both pretty bad, but impressive as hell at the time. my local Foodtown had one of these machines, for some reason. first Time Traveler and then they swapped in Holosseum.
iâm playing Trials of Mana! itâs really cool and fun and beautiful and the music is great, but i keep not knowing what to do next. i feel like the game isnât very good at telegraphing to the player what youâre supposed to do in order to make progress. in 2019, this isnât a problem, because walkthroughs are easily accessible through my phone, but i would rather not use them. still, itâs more annoying to comb the same areas over and over, looking for something i maybe missed. maybe this was how they planned for level grinding?

Made it to the bell gargoyle fog gate in Dark Souls Remastered and realizing that Iâm enjoying this game far more than I expected I would given my past experience getting stonewalled immediately in both Nioh and Bloodborne. I think the reason I like it so much is similar to why I dig FF8: everything is there for you to break the game immediately upon arriving in Firelink Shrine and the only things keeping you from doing it is your lack of knowledge about item placements in the world and (depending on what youâre getting) your ability to dodge enemies you arenât meant to fight until much later in the game. Itâs also far less of a time investment to get gear that trivializes the early game than it is to get your junction spell count up in FF8.

Kind of chill, not very hard, can only play a few times if you donât have a subscription. Click through for âTilesâ the game I was actually trying to link to directly.

Isnât this literally an autism test?
Like, not even kidding, I think this is a test they give kids suspected to be on the spectrum?
I canât speak to current practices but a very similar test was administered to me when I was ~5 years old (1990).
Also â my roommate made that! Heâs very much not on the spectrum.
