Honestly more intimidating if you use the proper "Bless us our lord for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen"

Literal NPC behavior... That first tweet is full-blown parody

They literally sold the 8 on the promise of 8 years of support

Yup. Fan projects and indie games can fill this niche. Pokemon is the most profitable media franchise EVER. They should be innovating and improving, not chasing nostalgia.

Turns out, we were both in love with the same fresh ghost.

A lot of things listed here are earler works from well-known creators, like Clone High (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump St, Sealab 2021 (Archer), Bravest Warriors (Adventure Time), Home Movies (Metalocalypse, Squid Billies).

Extra shoutout to China, IL. Love all the oldet Professir Bros. stuff on YouTube, like Roleplaying Tornament and Queeblo that I still sing all the time

Phallic is a word to describe something that is 'penis-like'. Yonic describes things that are 'vagina-like'. These terms have legitimate use.

At face value, I don't think this linkedin page is deserving of ridicule. But I'm not sure what the context around it is.

...what's wtong with lofi? It's background noise that helps tons of people focus.

OP glazing

Cave Story really isn't a metroidvania. The path splits at points, but there's very little choice where to explore. It's just a platformer action shooter.

My favorite metroidvania has to be Aquaria. Vibes of the game are on point. The story is great for a game in that genre, and the traversal and combat are unique and tons of fun. Soundtrack is phenomenal.

Check out Gato Roboto if you want a metroidvania similar to Cave Story!

GPT4o was a little too supportive... I think they took it down already

Maybe you could if you'd learned the alphabet

I use Lawful Good for the same reason. Both keep the center of weight in the middle, but your method is more evenly distributed.

Chiming in with why I love SV: While the game itself is a new thing (well 9 years old at this point), it really feels like a product of an earlier time. And not just the graphics, music, gameplay, and plot. It lacks all the dark pattern mechanics and monetization that's nearly inescapable in modern games. It just feels good to play, but always feels good to put down.

I just find the game endlessly charming. Every time I pick it up it reminds me of my childhood playing SNES.

There's a certain societal inertia you have to push against, and it's unrealistic to expect everyone to change these patterns for you instantly. Friends/family/kind acquaintances will take some time, and others may never change for your sake.

The team is 22 people... so that's definitely not AAA

Not just social media and texting, but more like the rise in popularity of mass media, like radio, movies, and television. I agree it might correlate with written word being more likely spoken.
