R4 got me craving some more racing games with an actual story line. How many of those exist? I got Grid Legends on sale to see if it’ll satiate my desire. The live action thing is working for me! I /really/ dug the way it was done in Quantum Break.

FWIW I tried practicing outside the game, I tried with a stylus in each hand, I am not sure I tried with my eyes close that’s a solid outside the box solution, as you hinted at it is apparently a skill musicians have to pick up at some point but like… I ain’t.

Started playing Super Mario Sunshine after watching bits of a 96-shine speedrun while working. What a fucking hell game. All the contemporary distaste for it seems really funny to me because it feels like a natural progression from Super Mario 64 (another hell game) but with an extra layer of mobility skill/control in FLUDD. Every shine/etc involving Yoshi feels like it was designed to be the most spiteful it could possibly be in a given stage. Game rules.

i save at the beginning of levels in quake, doom, etc and never mid-level. i tried never saving and doing pistol starts in doom after failure but doom is already stingy with ammo at higher difficulty levels and punching imps is mostly an exercise in patience rather than skill after a certain point. and running past every enemy can kind of be fun, but it’s more fun to shoot.
probably my favorite level. switching between beat and offbeat is now burned into my brain because of it.

I didn’t even notice that was a difficulty jump in Rhythm Heaven until I watched someone crash on it. There’s some fundamentals I picked up playing percussion that they have the confidence they can teach without words. Impressively, it mostly works.

I really like this recent theme of This Game Sucks Everything About It Is Terrible. it hates you. The level of spite towards someone who enjoys video games and then says play this is inspiring. I love it.

I think I’m just good on games that don’t trust the player or themselves. I really appreciate that Sunshine has really demanding and precisely-tuned goals that you can still circumvent if you get good enough at the mechanics. I really like that you have to talk to NPCs to get hints for the less obvious shines but if you talk to the wrong guy he’s going to throw you 50km the wrong direction or into a death hole and then the game’s like “Too bad!” while a clown plays you out.

One of the recent (but maybe not the most recent) F1 games has a story mode called Breaking Point.

if you can read japanese, hashiriya on ps1 seems to have storylines for each of its selectable characters. there’s also a racing/dating combination game on saturn, that i can’t remember the name of.
and chocobo racing, also on ps1

I tried Rhythm Heaven on 3DS when it got released. The shared DNA with Wario Ware made it look more approchable than other rhythm game, and I thought I could maybe get pretty far with patience and memorization instead of raw skill. Wrong, the timings were ruthless, I had no hope of improving and 0 fun

nah I’m good
thanks to a shift in the cup scheduling, I’m only mucking around with horses for half the month at most and Genshin continues to not compel me to spend because I can still work around problems without incident
my posting just makes it sound like they’re all of my time but they aren’t
