this dude spent a solid 3 months last year rating hacks on metroid construction, and he chose violence. it was a beautiful sight
(unfortunately he spent about 2.5 of those months being a complete idiot, but perhaps he was the iconoclast metconst deserved)
on the other hand, i overheard an 11 year old boy in a class i was covering (the substitute teacher shortage is real) mocking his friend for not playing GBA games “natively” in a GBA emulator and instead playing them on a DS emulator
the way aloy says “my focus” in horizon zero dawn always reminds me of how milton says “my stapler” in office space
you hate aloy because she isn’t a makeup-caked bimbo, I hate her bc she’s an annoying dweeb, we are not the same
(I don’t actually hate aloy but I do think it’s funny that they made her such a dork. it’s charming.)
although it’s not a polish game, horizon zero dawn benefits greatly from being played in polish, just like the witcher 3
made me think about how nathan drake’s shirt gets only a lil wet or totally soaked depending on how deep he wades in water but makeup in naughty dog games is perfectly waterproof
this reminds me when i lived in Portland and heard a boy who seemed about 15 years old on the bus very excitedly talking about wanting an Atari 2600
the way she covers her ears when she gets sound attacked is so dorky I always say OWWW MY EARS in a nerd voice when it happens. does she ever say it? it’s one of those videogame things I’ll say out loud a lot while doing dishes or something
talked yesterday with an old lover about how i was literally Gameing before i could read… the way my parents even noticed how i could was they saw that i was reading the text in the games i played. this was in the context of how she explained she never got the knack of controlling a 3d camera cause her parents hated games whereas i was playing my parents childhood copy of super mario 2 on the nes alongside them earlier than my earliest memories. its fucking crazy to think about this stuff… my mom was 12 when that game came out
i love the sentiment and i know (as a formerly young person) how sick of hearing this shit i got
but
this makes me feel older than any post you’ve ever written
i was like 5 so i don’t feel old, somehow
she doesn’t but boy if I can’t hear her saying it exactly like that
when are they putting this guy in smash bros
Yeah I vaguely recall it as like a 99 floor pseudo roguelike thing. It’s not very fun
EDIT: It’s not literally post-game, that’s like 2020s vidgamer language being retroactively applied. Of course when you beat Parasite Eve it’s over the end. It’s an optional dungeon.
Thanks for clarification, i still have to give PE a spin sometime, so when/if that happens, got to check that out at least for checking out the architecture 
if they ever rerelease parasite eve, it should have a black and white mode to replicate how i originally played it on my ntsc incompatible tv
