“i want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and i’m not kidding”
no you don’t
you want games made by people who are paid more. that’s it.
you don’t want shorter games. you want games that are worth the $60 you paid for. you want a game that mid-2000s magazines would have described as “jam-packed”. you want something that lasts longer than a couple hours, and when you put it down, you have a reason to pick it up again. and if the game you want actually is short, you want something you can replay and read into again. you want different dialogue the second time through. you want $60 worth of content. sometimes you want that in a game you paid $20 for.
you don’t want worse graphics, you want simple graphics. you want simple shading. you might even want pixel art. but god forbid the trees look bad
you don’t want devs to work less. you want less crunch time. you want devs to like the work they’re doing. you want devs to enjoy their work, because when they enjoy their work, they work more and make it better.
i am so fucking tired of seeing people reblog “i want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less” and then turn around and say shit like “this looks like gamecube graphics” or “the devs are so lazy”
I promise you I have witnessed the overlap with my own two eyes, by the same people, in the same day
“everyone experiences [symptom]” how many times does it have to be explained that it’s often about the frequency of the symptom, not the symptom itself
“nearly everyone has had a headache before” i agree. “most people get headaches regularly” you’re starting to lose me. “it’s normal to have a headache all the time” go to a doctor.
“everyone gets anxious sometimes” true! “people get anxious pretty often” um. “it’s normal to be anxious all the time” go to a doctor. etc
Frequency and severity. Having headache occasionally that is annoying and makes you want to take. A Tylenol? Normal. Having headaches so severe you have to lie in a dark room and not move for hours or else you’ll vomit? Not normal.
People have repeatedly asked me why I’m so scared of driving and quite frankly I think I hold a normal amount of fear towards driving. I think most people could stand to be a little more scared of driving tbh
fireflies lighting up a rural Pennsylvania field at dusk
As a european i sometimes forget furefkied are actually real and not american folklore/cryptids. Like you’ve got friendly little bugs that glow in the dark….. b r uh
in case europeans were worried: we love them very much! even tho they’re clumsy and slow and sometimes bump into you, no one swats fireflies here, or takes them for granted. even grownups sometimes reach out in the summer and gently catch a firefly for a minute before letting it go.
By “reach out” that’s meant quite literally–you just kinda. Stick your hand in their flight path and they land on you and will sit on your hand for a bit. Sometimes if you’re just walking or standing outside while they’re active you have to shoo them off you because they’ll just. Sit on you.
They’re harmless and very pretty and it’s always a treat to see because they’re out for a relatively short time each year.
my partner doesn’t understand 99% of technology or the internet but i’ve let him use my instagram a couple times and all that’s really come of it is he’s now obsessed with a specific dog i follow and asks about him like he’s a guy we know
