There is a little project I've been very interested in related to videogames and success. I want to feed the idea, so I will use this post to write daily lessons that I've picked up from gaming. If you're reading, enjoy and believe in yourself, for you will succeed.

@ScapismAdvocate @LDTrueBlue Those opinions are the minority. Why not check a few of the 100 ones?

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@ScapismAdvocate @LDTrueBlue To add to your comment, making it too easy can lead to bad reviews. Look ate Marvel's Wolverine for example. This wasn't the case with OoT Remake.

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@ScapismAdvocate @LDTrueBlue That's your opinion, but the original sitting at a -.5 user score then (9.6-9.1).

And challenge is not necessary a make or break feature. After all, games like Clair Obscur, Chrono Trigger and Silent Hill 2 can be challenging, yet have 9.2-9.4 avg user score.

Food for thought.

HOW DO I EXPLAIN that I'm a "TRL, AIM, MySpace Top 8, Limewire, Limited Too" Millennial and not a "iCarly, Twilight, Silly Bandz, Wizards of Waverly Place" Millennial.

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@ScapismAdvocate @LDTrueBlue Nah. It stands at the top because it has a curated list of 22 reviewers. It was harder to posts reviews back then because the internet was more limited. Same with SoulCalibur.

It it was reviewed today, the score would go down.

And OOT Remake has the highest user score btw.

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@CasualNoobGamer @PlayerEssence It did, and while it didn't win, they performance of the song "Heart of Gold" and The Game Awards was pretty awesome.

"....safe, inclusive and supportive..."

Except if you have religious beliefs, then that comment goes out te window.

@MattMainen would have a field day with these organizations if Perkz wanted to take action.

[Team Vitality League @TeamVitalityLOL]

Our commitment to this scene extends far beyond the game itself. Creating and maintaining safe, inclusive and supportive online spaces is something we will continue to work towards and support.

Our support goes out to @sjokz ,@LaureBuliiV, and all women across the League of Legends community and the wider esports scene 💛

This track lives rent-free in both me and my wife's heads.

@Yellowcard made a ridiculously catchy song.

[Ladytron Fan Account @Lady_FanAccount]

“Ocean Avenue” is the title track and second single from Yellowcard’s 2003 major-label debut album of the same name. Frontman Ryan Key named the song after the real Ocean Avenue in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, where the band spent much of their teenage years, he changed the original idea of “Ocean Boulevard” because it was harder to rhyme.

Released in 2004, the track reached No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 on Alternative Airplay. Its success helped the album sell more than 1.8 million copies in the United States and established Yellowcard as one of the defining pop-punk bands of the mid-2000s.

this has to be the most baffling change in the entire game

the puzzle is following the music, and they removed the sound cue for the music and replaced it with a visual cue

they changed the cue for the musical puzzle from sound to visual

@Theone321321 @esemdw This is his "Mariah Carey -All I want for Christmas", except he has that code for the whole year XD

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@PAABLOO64 Portada de Ocarina, y al parecer GTA VI también le dieron buenas puntuaciones. Buena forma de terminar este año.

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@SonicPlushBros_ @RinoTheBouncer This isn't my original idea. This is inspired by a motivational speaker who mentions the same thing about the Ford Edsel.

The key is: what can you take from your failures? Can you turn them into future success?

What happened after the Wii U was the turning point for Nintendo.

@RedShoesLabRat Did you see the interaction on the yellow light right from where you took that screenshot?

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

I now declare you spouses-in-crime.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

A gamer says his Steam Deck OLED helped him find a girlfriend after he took it to a coffee shop to play games before work.

He was playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom when Maya, another Steam Deck owner, approached him. She was having trouble setting up emulation on her own device, so he offered to help.

A 15-minute fix turned into dinner dates and a relationship. Five months later, they’re playing Baldur’s Gate 3 together.

The funny part is that he originally bought the Steam Deck to avoid people

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@REVERSAL7x I heard good things about Halo 3 multiplayer (I played it briefly at the time) and "Halo: Reach" story is really good.

343 took over after Bungie and they tried, but couldn't quite make a trilogy that could live up to the first games made by Bungie. Halo 5 was very polarizing.

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@BasedLEDA Lighter?

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@Taytori Anis about to turn into Mrs. Miss.

[Luis Alvarado @ShadowLWolf]

@Pure_PS And Nintendo did it with 1/3 the size of a game.

That's pretty impressive if you ask me.
