I appreciate the bar is quite low but this excerpt from an interview with Molyneux about AI is almost too on the nose. Nice anecdote about a colleague he used to respect and enjoy working with, followed by an explanation of how him and everyone like him is now expendable.

"please only microwave his insides" is gonna be a vocal stim oh no

It’s amazing, on multiple levels, just how much american arcade operators, and more broadly, developers, rushed to turn their playerbases into pure cattle; they went so far as to construct a reality and industry in which being treated like cattle is an ideal for players to seek out in art software.

It's a lesson on how much these systems can shape player perception, not just of an individual game but of entire genres and eras of gaming. In the case of beat 'em ups, the continue system literally flattened them to the point where most people can only distinguish the themes.

sorry to my roommates that heard me shrieking and sounding like i was jerking it, thumb wrestling in switch sports resort is kinda intense

i described mario kart world’s soundtrack as orgasmic to somebody today and that probably was not the most ideal way of describing it but i mean. man it’s too good
