  I know that stupid rich CEOs and shareholders don’t understand this, but… “heart”. You make a game with heart, and it’s immediately apparent to the audience. You can try to break down what it is that gives it away, but that’s unnecessary.

  If a work of art has heart, it will probably sell well. As long as people can see what it is and it doesn’t do anything alienating.

  I keep forgetting what a “tankie” is, even though it’s said a lot on Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember I tried Lemmy like two years ago or something. I got booted from communities for not praising everything China does. I think it was Lemmy.ml? I could be wrong.

  I don’t use the All feed at all. In fact, this isn’t really a solution for me. “All” has too much random crap to weed through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😲😲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wikipedia is written by humans, a.k.a. non-objective people, which is why they call it “duodecimal counting” instead of “dozenal counting” and used to have Talk wars on that page about it. The irrational side won.

  If a game has classes like I said before, then it’s a class-playing game, a.k.a. RPG. Something can be a roguelike but not an RPG. Also “roguelike” is a pretty dumb name for a genre and itself causes a lot of problems, but I digress.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😲😲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I added Dark Souls into the list before I saw this comment. Because usually when I talk about this subject I list it. I try to use variety in my examples, but I just forgot for a moment about listing Dark Souls ^^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😲😲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure if I want to go into the full thing because people tend to get defensive about their preconceived notions and make a big, heated argument about it. But I will say this: game genres are defined by gameplay, not by content, by visuals, or by similarities with other games people assume to be in that genre.

  As simply as I can put it— and hopefully not opening up a huge can of worms— I define a role-playing game as a game in which your character(s) play one of several roles meaning “classes”— each with their own stats and abilities that play differently and often support each other. You can have one character who can choose one or more classes, more characters that each have their own classes, or more characters that can can choose their own classes. That makes D&D, Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy XIII, and honestly a bunch of multiplayer shooters RPGs. That does not make Zelda or the first Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior RPGs.

  So the biggest problem with humans and categorizations is they are hugely assumptive, seeing surface-level things and defining it by those, and by outward similarities with other items that they already assume to be of that category. Because of this, what a lot of people do is confuse the adventure genre— games that use exploration, puzzle-solving, and key items in order to progress— and role-playing games, which almost always are adventure games as well. D&D? Both RPG and adventure. Final Fantasy XIII? RPG but not adventure. Zelda? Adventure but not RPG. But in most cases, RPGs are also adventures. So a lot of people think games with common adventure elements are RPGs.

  I know a lot of what I’m saying is going to fly over peoples’ heads and they’ll go crazy in the comments. Let’s see how long I can ignore them for the sake of my own sanity…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😲😲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean yeah. Most people define genres using association, and they can become a gooey mess at worst. I’ve been arguing for structured definitions for years, but it’s a lost cause. I still believe I am the only person who has a completely sane definition for “role-playing game”. But I digress, fam. ^^

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨😲😲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Manga are a kind of comic, they’re just pretty specific about their format and choices. Anime is a kind of animated cartoon, it’s just specific about its choices. Even “coming from Japan” isn’t a requirement as long as it follows those traditionally(-ish) Japanese choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is Japan too. Very much so right now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you were the first, fam.

  One of my very best friends also said this. He wanted to eat a tree star because the movie made them look amazing.

  I know this is an obscure reference, but that last panel is the same as Linkara’s reaction to when in the terrible comic Marville, Spike Lee was revealed to be the Kingpin (of parody-version Marvel).
