yeah that’s what i woulda did

@SoloGaming816 @mcquack306 it’s wild over there - the amount of times i’ve seen the video of the chocobo stutter on my timeline is asinine

[ben @benexe_]

@athena_numakami about twenty hours in and i have yet to experience it as egregious as this - thoughts on the game realizing you're stuck, cutting to a black screen until everything is loaded properly?

@BobWulff @BeatemupsWood now this is the bob content i signed up for

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema zork? hitchhikers?

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema how old are you?!

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema explain then

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema i see you missed the sarcasm

game design and graphics are independent of each other

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema i would consider that to be more cope than anything i’ve stated and thats coming from someone who hates realistic graphics in games

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema ah yes, i completely forgot that proficient game design = better graphics

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema i said they prioritize art direction over graphics, yes, but that doesn’t mean the games don’t look great

there’s a reason we’re seeing massive diminishing returns on games focusing on a more “realistic” approach - nintendo won by giving up the graphic war during wii era

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema where is the cope? i’m agreeing with everything you’re saying..?

needless to say that i thought i was a huge nintendo fan but you’re over the top

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @jplaysnintendo @Cosmic_Alema graphics and art direction are two separate things

nintendo prioritizes art direction over graphics which is why their games tend to stand the test of time more

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @Cosmic_Alema @jplaysnintendo while i agree, comparing a game built with nintendo hardware in mind is different than porting a game from more powerful consoles - all of that proves how impressive recent ports are

[ben @benexe_]

@HomestarGroyper @Cosmic_Alema @jplaysnintendo scale of the games being compared are vastly different so makes sense as to why a re9 looks and runs better than rebirth or elden ring

@Czar_Of_Silly samuel l jackson and jeff bridges

[ben @benexe_]

@dukeofthefox @liampbjray dream theater would absolutely solo this list

[ben @benexe_]

seeing some people talk about obsession makes me question if they had their eyes closed half the time

[ben @benexe_]

@H2Pickettsburgh if i have to sit at another game listening to children screaming for them to kiss...

[ben @benexe_]

this is the only reason i wouldn’t recommend xenoblade to someone

Researchers found that post-video game depression is real.

People who finished a video game they really liked got uniquely depressed in a way they don't with other media. Those who played long role-playing games were the most depressed of any genre.
