The most disappointing thing about Pokémon Scarlet/Violet wasn’t the performance. It was every waterfall in the game had NOTHING behind them.

Who puts in waterfalls and doesn’t put something behind them?!

Got Final Fantasy Theatrhythm Final Bar and it’s been super fun so far, but I am a sucker for FF music and rhythm games.

My only complaint is their music adjustment for latency only goes to whatever -15 units is (ms?), and my TV is definitely introducing more than that making the game literally unplayable on my television.

It’s super tight in handheld mode though!

So after seeing everybody heap praises on #pokemonscarletviolet , as well as heap derision on the performance of the game, I decided I’d try it out because I loved me some Arceus and I hoped that maybe the technical aspects were as overblown as Mass Effect Andromeda’s were.

The gameplay? Great. The performance issues? Not overblown. The framerate in the main city was so low I started getting motion sick. Thankfully I can avoid that hub for a very long time I think?

Still having an absolute blast, but outside of VR the last time I got nauseated by a video game was programming the camera in #EonAltar.

Really, really enjoying "Against the Storm". Who knew Roguelite+City Builder RTS would work so well, but it does.

The inner/outer core loops are both satisfying: make a city, hit your max score before the timer runs out, get meta-resources, unlock new perks/tech, and start anew.

But each city location has its own quirks and resources, and reacting to those can really make a run feel different from the next, and the difficulty curve feels quite good.

A twist on the #Introduction: Introduce yourself using five #videogames to get to know you.

#Phobies (Current one I work on)
#EonAltar (My previous game I worked on)
#FFXIV (on hiatus, but love it)
#WoW (don't play anymore but played and raided for over a decade)
#DDR (First rhythm game and I love them so)

Hard to decide what to put here, given I've been gaming since 1989.
