  For me games from the NES era can tough to enjoy for more than a short period of time. They just tend to feel punitively difficult in a way that is not very fun. I’d much prefer a Mario from SNES onward any day for example.

  I played Goldeneye at an arcade recently that had an N64 set up and actually had a great time. But people who hadn’t grown up with it and tried to join in found it pretty frustrating. So I can see that going either way tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite 90s platformer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This for sure. There are other great examples, like Yoshi’s Island or Mario 64, but World is the one I grew up with and have the most nostalgia for.

  Haha, that doesn’t entirely surprise me tbh. I watched the trailer for one of the Ryza games earlier today and it didn’t look like something I’d enjoy. The newer Yumia game looks like it has some potential but I’ll definitely still wait and see.

  You know I wasn’t really aware of this series before but this certainly grabbed my attention.

  So excited for this!! Not only for the show itself but also for more music! The first season was so great and I adore the soundtrack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting to the top of the mountain in Celeste. It may not be the hardest challenge in the game (screw you Farewell), but just arriving there with the soundtrack swelling felt so good.

  Completing the golden path in Tunic.

  Any number of silly things in FFXI that at the time probably felt immensely important.

  Oh wow. I played the hell out of this game as a kid. Knew it from the thumbnail immediately.

  This is such a bizarre conclusion to come to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.
