@gameragodzilla @katiekats From Software basically ended up doing the "Team ICO game" better than Team ICO did.
As frustrating as the Dark Souls controls can be on PC, DS1's environmental storytelling is second only to Thief 2 in my book. -

@gameragodzilla @katiekats "full length escort mission that didn't suck" is mutually exclusive :P -

@sim I don't believe it federates that particular functionality at all but I may be wrong. More importantly though, do you consider that important? -

@gameragodzilla @katiekats It's variable. It's a little like Sunless Sea in that the actual good moments are quite good, but there is a lot of dead space in between them that drags down the pacing considerably. A lot of people would argue that this time is used for exploration and they're not wrong, but the exploration aspect is kind of boring. This isn't like … -

@katiekats @gameragodzilla Ico forgot the whole game aspect. If it came out today, it'd probably be called a walking siumlator. -

@ghostdancer The decisions taken in the EU will very shortly not matter to me, and good riddance to bad rubbish. -

@sklaing @moonoffsite Most technologies created to manipulate behaviour are created with benevolent intentions. Few of them are actually used for benevolent motives by those whom actually utilize them. -

@ghostdancer I oppose the UK government's censorship push and I oppose the EU government's censorship push as well. But given the choice between one censorous authority dictating what I can and cannot do, and two cenosorous authorities both dictating what I can and cannot do, I would chose the one. -

@gameragodzilla @katiekats Shadow of the Colossus is the kind of thing modern From Software aped to end up making Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, which may or may not be your thing but you can't deny that they were hugely influential. (You can see the influence in the differences between Souls and King's Field) The thing people seem to forget about Team Ico though, … -

@sim @katiekats It's very much the locus of how we see so much "projection" such as in the SJW lot that opposed GamerGate or similar. -

Yeah, I'm going to make a note to myself to convert things to NaturalDocs, its very late-90s/early-2000s web design-y in terms of the documentation that it generates, but its functional and that's the important thing, and its very easy to work into my existing workflow. -

@gameragodzilla @katiekats If DNF's development was troubled, Last Guardian's has been absolutely tortured. We've seen games where this has been so that the better game could merge (see Doom 4) but we've also seen plenty where this is because they had no clue what they were doing. Se we'll see. -

@gameragodzilla @katiekats Literally a longer dev time than DNF if you include the time it was on the drawing board. -

@sim @katiekats The root of narcissism is projecting an image of strength because in truth you feel you are extremely weak. -

@katiekats @sim If there's any theme throughout society right now, its that people just aren't willing to take real risks. Those that do seek to have the rewards of those risk-taking behaviour usually expect others to do it for them. Most others are happy to just huddle in their "safe space"
