HBFG: Hit button feel good

Clench is good

actually I should think about words I use to describe spreadsheeting

rowing
deep looking
glazing

yeah, that’s right, it’s definitely a sort of meditative state for me, I don’t have violent connotations

crunch works if you’re referring specifically to slowdown as a deliberate enhancement of the action, like in bangai-o or earth defence force.


high bructose forn gyrup


cadillacs and dinosaurs
streets of rage 2 and 4
ninja saviors
master system ninja gaiden (can be sung to the tmnt theme)
speed power gunbike when you figure out how to play and get into the flow


i thought this was gonna be the thread about games you play to feel less bad, like people were talking about in another thread

I prefer the term “treacly” or “syrupy” for games with bad HBFG.

I’ve started using Mushy for this but I think something more esoteric is good.
