      ​​​​@@confusedpsyduck714is not a bad word, it just has a much more specific meaning than how people often use it. People throw the word around a lot to mean "skinny young looking white guy" when it's meant to specifically refer to twiggy, non-muscular hairless young gay men. There's also Bears, who are fat hairy older gay men. They're very different kinds of men, polar opposites in many ways. Everyone has their tastes and they're meant to be labels to help gay guys explain the kind of men they're into.
      Referring to any skinny dude as a twink usually results in gets a few of the lables wrong. I've seen skinny buff guys called twinks. I've seen skinny hairy guys called twinks. I've even seen guys with a bit of a gut called twinks. Look up Chipp or Anji from Guilty Gear. I've seen people call them twinks. Knowing the actual meaning of the word and hearing people say that boggles my mind sometimes lol.
      It's not a bad word at all, but people use it wrong all the time and some people get annoyed by that

    I'm only about halfway through this video, but I think I know exactly what you mean. I've always had a soft spot for unpolished games, and sometimes I feel a little bad that I don't enjoy the more popular 'sanitized' ones that come out nowadays. The visual progress is impressive, and a lot of games of the last decade are downright gorgeous, but I think I'll always prefer the low res, pixel-y, weird style of the past. Janky mechanics are another quick way to endear me to an older or indie game, but they tend to just be annoying when coupled with modern graphics. I dunno, maybe I just focus too much on aesthetics.
    I'm really, really excited for your channel to get the attention it deserves. Your videos have this really calming vibe about them that I can't quite put my finger on, but its made you one of my favorite UA-camrs since the FNaF design video. The way you insert your persona into different settings is SO cool, I don't think I've seen anyone do that before.
    I hope the numbers don't get to you, but if they do, remember that there are people who really enjoy what you're doing. Social media can make us forget that 50, 100, 1,000 people seeing something you made is still a lot! As long as this is making you happy, please keep it up! I'll be waiting eagerly for the next video :]

    I think part of why ACGC leaned into such a low poly style even compared to it's contemporaries is because of the sheer amount of furniture / items.from the perspectives of both design and console memory / polygon count, the art style makes perfect sense in my eyes.

    Minecraft's End Poem is so meaningful because it's so existentially comforting and uplifting.
    The fact that the writer was offered millions of dollars by Microsoft but not only turned the money away, but put the poem in the public domain after having an existential awakening after tripping out in the woods is such a crazy thing to think about, but I wholeheartedly respect Julian Gough for not selling out and understanding that the game's end poem touched a lot of people and is genuinely emotionally moving even divorced from the game itself. It's really existential, but is also empowering and genuinely sweet. The phrase "And the universe said 'I love you', because you are loved" is such a beautiful message to the reader.

      @@Tsukistar1 time is best spent on the things that move us than trying to make the project car move under its own weight. There's a lot to lose ,mainly time, investing into a discourse and message whose themes Im already far from resonant with, and whose cost to be so can't be justified. I read it and I get nothing. I listen to video about it and I get nothing. I read a comment and I get nothing, and I read a reply to the comment and I get nothing. Upon reconsideration, my verdict is cringe. How many more times do you want me to stare at this until something hits me? Good things don't need to be entirely self evident, but at least a few of the bread crumbs leading to the bigger picture do. This has none of that. This has a series of words that I can not remember one single word of after the last punction mark. It's cringe at best and a complete non starter at worst.

    it's very validating to hear someone else compliment the other-worldly vibe of gamecube animal crossing. i played each entry in the series as they came out, and enjoyed them to an extent, but i was always left with a feeling that the game was missing the atmosphere that made the original so captivating to me. yeah, it's fun(?) catching all the fish and bugs and making your house, but it's not AS fun when you're bombarded by this saccharine, upbeat, overly positive vibe all the time. i don't think i've ever laughed at anything my islanders in new horizons have said to me, but the original is sarcastic and unpredictable and i love it so much.
    oh and the ability to ask for quests from your villagers is great and it makes no sense that they got rid of it

    I’m not sure how to describe what you mean either, but I definitely get it. This one game, James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes 3D for the 3DS kind of reminds me of that feeling (nobody really wanted it, wacky FMVs, a banger soundtrack, weirdly unfinished-feeling aspects, made by UBISOFT of all people). Uh go check that out if you liked these lol

      Speaking of 3DS, Turtle Tale is this one game that we joked around with friends but I ended up becoming really fond of it, it's a simple 2D platformer but I've never heard anyone talk about it, it was also like 2-3 bucks before being removed from the eShop (i think)
      It's really nothing special and it even looks like shovelware at first, but it's fun once you get into it, it does exactly what it needs to do, nothing more, nothing else, and I think that's what appeals to me, it just works. I've wondered what other people would think of it but it really is an obscure game lmao

    It was a really big surprise to see joshw mentioned in the Mr. Bones section.
    I was actually the one who made the rip that's currently up on there.
    (It had to be redone in a lossless format because the existing rip had the songs converted into mp3s due to the space restrictions that were in place at the time.)
    I didn't really know anything about ripping Saturn songs (and I still don't), so I was only able to do rerips of the redbook audio tracks.
    I was also really disappointed that Underwater Ride wasn't one of them.
    (Also, while watching, I remembered that Flower Sun and Rain was one of the games published by Victor Interactive, so it caught me completely off guard when it popped up immediately after.)

    Hey fantastic video. Cant wait too see you do more topics and develop your voice. I did notice the repeared songs that Hazel uses and whether or not youre just a fan or BFFs it does force me to stop thinking about your thesis and focus on your similarities to other works. Do I actually agree youre pointing out something unsettling or did you just use spooky music from Yume Nikki that Hazel does and my brain is just filling in those gaps? Not saying you cant use any songs that another youtuber does, but if im watching your essay I want to watch *your* essay.
    Again, your editing and composition is great and I like what you had to say about friction showing more of the real people behind a game than the seamless, more polished parts. Good luck and take care.

    A series that lives rent-free in my mind is the Mia edutainment series from Kutoka Interactive. Those games could barely run on my family’s 2000s-era laptop, and when it did run properly Mia would never know how to get to where you wanted her to go, but the crusty graphics, animations, funky background tunes and intriguing voices always stuck with me to this day.

    Literally nothing will recreate the feeling of being a child with entirely too much reign over the internet in 2011, discovering this quirky indie game called "Minecraft", and investing the next several years of your life into learning how the game works exclusively through word-of-mouth. It's something that only could've happened at the right place and right time. I felt like I was part of something special--a real-life ARG if that makes any sense. I get emotional any time I think about it.

    This video perfectly captures why i love the ps2 era of games so much idk theres just something about them that feels so special. Like Dark cloud 1 is kinda bad, by all logic its way worse than its sequel but I just love it so much. It does have a story but its so spaced out between dungeons that it doesnt super matter its pretty much a dungeon crawler with each floor being procedrually generated. And so some reason they added not just weapon durability but a thirst meter?? its so bad yet its peak what can I say. Justice to older games that just kinda suck at least a little bit.
    Also there was a team of NiGHTS fans that made a software for ripping the saturns images files so if anyone would know anything about making a software for ripping saturn music it would prob be them.

    though, i think thisd work REALLY WELL for minecraft. handful of people get the janky grabbag of fun we all love or used to love, and another handful get a modern game. and each gets equal resources (hopefully) :D

    I think pikmin 1 has the same vibes as some of these games. It contrasts a lot with the later games that go for realism. I think forest navel shows this the best. Apparently its supposed to be a cave? It has cliffs that lead to endless darkness. There's two really weird bosses. One jump scares you and shakes it's knees at you one of them mind controls your pikmin. Bread bug is there as the only roaming enemy. There's also just a lot of weird design choices, like why does olimar look like that in his health bar or what are the gates supposed to be, they look like they are made from packing peanuts. I think it's also a game filled with mystery. There's a bunch of enemies you could miss seeing in a playthrough, there's rumours like beady long legs escaping it's arena. There's beta footage in the game with completely different enemy placements. It basically has it all

      I feel like pikmin 2 also has a lot of this too, especially in the caves and with the odd juxtaposition of real world items everywhere. Certainly more polished and tutorial exposition heavy, but still weird and vibey to sit with

    • @concept8192
      @concept8192 2 місяці тому +10

      Yeah it's a lot less polished and more surreal. If you play it on real hardware like I do (gamecube) the darker and lower brightness output makes it kinda unsettling actually. The distant spring is full of Bulbears that could annihilate your entire squad in seconds, and they have these weird pulsing spots that never came back again. And yeah, the enemy reel during the credits is full of oddities. I'm honestly kinda sad they rerecorded it for the switch release to fix it.

      Pikmin 1 and 2 are some of my favorite games of all time. The atmosphere is simply unmatched
      I don't think a game like Pikmin 2 will ever be made again by Nintendo, the difficulty is just so unhinged that it makes you wonder how this is coming from Nintendo but it's oddly so engaging
      It's not so hard it's impossible and unfun, it's just...surprising, and I love it for that
      No other Pikmin does it as well as the first two for me, especially 4, I hate that they basically did a full timeline retcon with 4 if they're continuing with its plot instead of the subtle world that was being built throughout the first two games

      I hope Pikmin 4 is just a side story, the Oatchi species could easily relegate Pikmin 4’s world to a sideplot in another universe while Pikmin 1-3 are the main stuff.

    Enjoying the video! But if I can offer a bit of critique? Any time you're gushing about how cool some super jank game is, I'm having a great time. But you lead into each one by putting out a little disclaimer about how bad it is. It feels like a preemptive defense, like you're afraid someone will scorn you for finding something worthwhile in a weird game. I think just letting your joy flow uninhibited would make for a cleaner script and a better viewing experience.

      I definitely feel like this had a bit of that sadly ubiquitous aversion to true sincerity, the whole post irony thing. His enjoyment of these games model had to be framed at least as slightly ironic, lest he be deemed “cringe” (which is a death sentence in this environment).
      We already know from the premise of the video that the games are flawed, it’s okay to enjoy them anyway. :)

    I'm surprised you didn't go over early ROBLOX, early ROBLOX has objectively one of the most unintentionally weird atmospheres it had super sharp high quality lighting and low quality textures mixed with random stolen sound effects and obscure music and remixes and it had probably one of the worst physics engines made by any company in the past 20 years.

      I actually thought about talking about roblox! There were a whole bunch of weird tycoons and obbys that I used to play that had a really janky vibe despite being from a while after the game launched that I would have liked to have a section on. If I ever make a follow up to this video I’ll be sure to talk about it!

    on the topic of claymation being pretty rare, mason lindroth (hylics) is probably my favorite claymation animator. love the way he plays with claymation not just as a medium, but brings attention to the clay as a material through animation but also the writing and "lore" of hylics. its a game thats in a weird way about clay

      This is the reason why I abruptly stopped playing new horizons randomly one day about a month after release. I thought it was stupid how I was using my free time basically doing digital chores to pay off a digital loan. No hate for people who like these kinds of games but I get no joy out of decorating which is the large majority of the game’s appeal. Without that it’s just an adulting simulator with a cutesy aesthetic.
