Chimerelda E. Error, layabout

enough complaining about complaining about poor choices in narrative games

it's time to make poor choices about my own narrative game

I have the test results to work with from yesterday where I limited the locking down of the time-cursor to only happen at the end of the program running and if the buls have changed from their starting values

I'm not expecting much exciting, but another day, another management of my skein of commands

I watched most of a video yesterday complaining about issues in the re-release of 999 and it was overall mostly good and I agree with the criticism, but there was a pretty constant thing the essayist and the streamers shown in the video responded and said that is fascinating to me

I guess the other thing that got me is the idea that if text shows up in a vn dialogue box it's being said aloud, which even if it's voice acted may be not be true

I was just sometimes thinking "yeah it would be bizarre if they said this aloud, but then maybe you should just assume it's not diegetic and there for your benefit as a reader?"

I spent a lot of my reading life massaging books in my mind to have more black people or more furries... It's not a hard feat and it can make it more enjoyable to accept that what you are being shown or told isn't what's literally happening/happened.

I don't know; it's like how much the pandemic disproves the common complaint that people would have about like zombie viruses that no one would be "dumb enough" to ignore the risk

a paucity of theory of mind that directly excludes real people because it's been trained on characters

87 percent of classic video games released before 2010 in the United States have failed to be preserved in any real capacity, according to the Video Game History Foundation (VGHF).

In a new study on classic video games and their "commercial availability," the VGHF found that these older titles are "critically endangered," revealing that video games released between 1975 and 1979 have an availability rate of .89 percent , while the early '90s (1990-1994) has 19.33 percent. Coming in behind the '90s are 2005-2009 (17.89 percent). Less than 3 percent of games released before 1985 remain in print today.
