similarly, when i find a safe spot in a pattern in a shmup, that's not considered "cheesing" because it took effort to find and exploit that spot. with souls there just isn't much of a range of strategy - most options that aren't brute-forcing any given fight either feel useless or like cheating.

imo it's specifically that souls games are pretty shallow, both as action games and as RPGs. when I put together a build in Nioh that rocks a boss's shit in 20 seconds flat, we don't call that cheesing, we call it playing the game, because the process of constructing that build was complex.

looking at the pieces in that encritification event about cheesing and it's really interesting how many of them are actually just about dark souls. i love souls games with all my heart but maybe it's worth interrogating why it's specifically them where the idea of "cheesing" becomes so prominent.

Ryan MarkelI have been working this evening at uninstalling a wire shelf the builder put in my extra bedroom (my office) closet when this house was built around 20 years ago. These mounting bits are SATANIC. There is no logical way to remove them without them taking chunks out of your drywall.

This is Massive Attack's response to what happened in Singapore, posted on their Instagram page. Good on them.

✨NEW VIDEO✨ Beast of Reincarnation is a game that rewards those who push past its poorly executed early hours, and reveals a much more earnest and fascinating experience beneath the surface. Its combat becomes more engaging, its characters more interesting, its world more unique. I liked it a lot!

This is a two page ad for Kamaitachi no Yoru that features Raita Ryu, an actor famous for playing a detective in Taiyo ni Hoero and who also starred in Kamaitachi's TV commercial. Chunsoft's founder, Koichi Nakamura, was a big fan of the actor and he was even later invited to play a role in Machi.

An English fan translation of "Kamaitachi no Yoru" for SFC has been released by "ButThouMust": github.com/ButThouMust/...

This is not a drill! An English patch for the original Super Famicom version of Kamaitachi no Yoru has just been released! This was created by ButThouMust, who previously published one of two English patches for Otogirisou several years ago. Patch in the link below: github.com/ButThouMust/...
1564 StudioI'm trembling while writing this: Kamaitachi no yoru—not the PC remake, not the iOS port, but the actual original SFC version—has been translated at last by ButThouMust, who graciously brought us an English patch for Otogirisou in the past. This is HISTORICAL.

#8BitKiller turns 18 today! After years of abandoned projects, this was my first full-length game to be published. At the time (2008), I didn’t know many people who were interested in classic-style games. Let alone the idea of mixing eras. I connected with the indie and retro scene after release.
