This whole thread is just the best. Most of the time I think of dev/player interaction as being antagonistic, but then a nice person with a charming game gets great feedback from a bunch of other nice people and everything is cool.

Games!

Maybe you don't like the game?

That's totally cool. Time to move on?

Pro tip: are you in world 6? Are you still spinning it? Good, good. You have accended.

Pro tip: In world 5, spin the controller clockwise, gingerly. Never stop spining the controller, no matter how much Mario asks you not to.

Pro tip: When Yoshi is in play, use his tongue to uncover the secret.

Oh wait, are your reflexes natural? That might be throwing it into full dark souls mode, which also had pretty crazy platforming.

Well good thing you're in great shape. That just seems like the right thing to be, physically. The game gets harder when you have great reflexes, though. That's something they did in the 90's so that only kids could play shit that was for kids. It was a weird time that baffles you.

I can justify a bi-annual $300 for a magic pocket computer I use all day, every day.

Aren't we video game people? We spend $140 on a special edition pre-order that comes with a plastic dragon statue and a notepad to document your feelings about the plastic dragon, and nobody bats an eye.

Cartoons are dope now. Thanks small group of politically well connected activists!
