Back before my spirit was crushed, I thought the popularity of Dark Souls would force a rethink of this. "I got lost in a swamp and then spent 4 hours dying over and over to the same boss, 10/10, game of the year".
Instead, we got "it's actually a challenge for epic gamers only, git gud casuals".

A friend of mine who runs these things always repeats something to me along the lines of "Playtests and Research isn't for telling you the right thing to do, it's to confirm to you that your assumptions are correct and that your intentions are getting through to the players" and that's stuck with me

Can confirm - Dungeon Gals can be fully completed, start to finish.

Be nice to your local Answer players. Like a horse, he craves death, ready to die from fear of a strong breeze. 😭

Totally. At stake here is the conflict between games as “content” (retrogressive behaviorist bullshit) and recognizing context. The entire notion of “design” is saddled with so much fucked ideological baggage, be careful out there folks.

Thief gets the critical thing a lot of early stealth get wrong. You want your enemies to be 'sophisticated and predictably dumb as hell'

The reason you know billionaires suck is I haven't see one OC out of the lot of them!! Let alone them buying their own anime.

imagine there's a wagyu steak on a stick that says "leon s. kennedy 50 years old age gap ship with a young adult woman with severe social anxiety" and then like the most ravenous dog you can ever imagine foaming at the mouth running after it. and that dog? was me.

It would make sense too cause a lot of Eurogames are very visually/technically impressive so yeah it could be a lot of 'trying to get a pop outta the homie'.
