As creator of said game: You should support indies if you can, but culture shouldn't exist only for those who can afford it. ULTRAKILL wouldn't exist if I hadn't had easy access to movies, music and games growing up. If you don't have money, you can support via word of mouth.

you wouldnt last a minute in the asylum where they raised me

Hey! If you can't play a video game because you're poor or if you have a disability, DM me and I will help you play that game!

Bring Back Banjo As a disabled gamer, I go one better. We wouldn't get this childishly defensive. We'd politely say we're trying our best but it can be hard and sometimes youtube is the more viable option compared to the longer time playing can take us.

The original RE trilogy takes the cake for us. Coincidentally, you can get it on GOG, and those titles are part of the GOG Preservation Program. That Good Old Games platform really knows its way around classics 😉

crowbcat destroyed an entire generation of games discourse

You WILL play that game made before 2005 instead of watching a Let's Play. You WILL accept and appreciate its SD graphics. You WILL grasp its unconventional-by-modern-standards camera and movement controls. You WILL replay to get all endings and attempt to get a high rank.

Play games that are already out. Play games you missed last year, or five years ago, or 20 years ago. Anything other than giving these people your money.

Why doesn't Toby Fox add voice acting to his games...? It would massively help accessibility, considering so many of his fans can't read

my number one tip on improving as an artist: Put that fucking roblox slop down and watch a shitty sci fi classic from the 60s and you will be reincarnated into a lotus flower

The Half-Life writer is streaming Elden Ring

With increasingly more and more ways to play the original Resident Evil trilogy, we recommend playing them as originally intended. Avoid the AI 'Overhauls' and the 'Enhance' mods as they strip the spirit and the soul of the games. Embrace the pixels and the history.

I sent ChatGPT an audio file of a series of FART sound effects and asked what it thinks of "my music" and this is what it said

Games are not an apple, they dont age

I think what the whole "Games age" thing comes down to, is people trying to offload their character flaw on to some sort of objective standard, that will hopefully allow them to escape judgment "Haha I am NOT a close minded person, the games have actually just aged ;)"

It's worse. I'm a sound designer, and I work with stock sound effects libraries constantly. I hear "CS gunshots", the "Doom door", "Half-Life 2 physics", that "ship metal creak", and other iconic sounds everywhere, and can often pinpoint the libraries they come from.

TheBlueKnight I mean, Mel Brooks explained why it isn't called that in a funny way-
