>>29327 Continue when you die. I'm not quite sure what you don't understand. Games kicking you all the way back to the title screen when you die is fucking stupid. Making you reload the whole game, like say Symphony of the Night, is fucking stupid. It's even worse when reloading means entering a password. Many other games just let you press "Continue" and immediately restart your game from whatever the continue point would be. Once a game has passwords, you effectively have infinite continues, so just actually give infinite continues instead of making you reload your save every time. There's no way this game intended you to beat it all on one continue. It's much too long and difficult for that. That's why there's a password in the first place. Also, you could save on Genesis, just not often. Sonic 3 is a pretty darn popular game, though. But that has nothing to do with my point. My point has nothing at all to do with saving. It just has to do with not making you re-enter the password every time you die. The game should just let you immediately continue with all your progress (but kick you back to the house, like where you end up if you do enter the password). You should only ever have to reload your save (or enter your password, which is the same thing) if you actually stop playing, not just because you die.
>>29330 Console games were very influenced by arcades back then, I don't think you understand that very well.
>>29392 I think you don't understand English very well. It was common for many games, especially those that used passwords, to just let you press "Continue" when you died so you don't have to enter the password just because you died. It was very common for games to not have passwords at all, but if they do, then they might as well let you continue, because obviously entering the password is not intended to be part of the challenge. Arcade games didn't have passwords. I'm not saying Beavis and Butthead was annoying because it made you start the whole game over when you died, which was much more common. I'm saying it was annoying that the game made you enter the password every time you died. That wasn't very common. It happened sometimes, but those games were shitty implementations of the password feature. And that's what I'm saying here. It's a good game, but this one very simple thing, making you enter the password every time you die, fucks it up. Castlevania II doesn't make you do that, and that game came out much earlier. Symphony of the Night does make you do that, only it uses saves instead of a password, but it's still annoying. Just let me press continue instead of having to reload my save, especially if that save is through a password. Reloading obviously isn't intended to be part of the challenge. It was a design oversight that simply makes the game more tedious, and many other games before it didn't make this mistake.

Share the best pixel art that you have right here! APNGs, GIFs, PNG, post it all! Should probably keep it vidya related, but if you happen to have something particularly high-quality or interesting that isn't vidya related, share it here anyways. Any OC can also be posted here if desired. The last pixel art thread was bumped off sometime in the past week or so. Sadly, there is no archive of it.

Blogposting - Depressed Gaming Edition Anonymous 07/12/2025 (Sat) 23:43:56 No. 29201 [Reply]
There are hundreds of games in my library, thousands of retro games in my emulator folder, and so many that I recently got a hold of that I simply thought looked interesting too try out. Despite all of that I have almost no drive whatsoever to play any of them. Some of the few I've actually been wanting to play are ones I can only enjoy with friends co-op but none of them are online, and the few I've played endlessly in the past solo feel pointless. Why bother? Completionism, to say I did, to get another idea for some game or drawing or mod I'd want to make but just put off forever while I head back into the wage cage and then come home and drink myself to sleep and wish any of it made me feel anything at all anymore? It'd be nice to upgrade to a new PC, but I don't have the money. And if I did what good would it do if I just keep playing the same four or five games anyway? The past 20 minutes consisted of clicking through my library running a mental cost benefit analysis just to end up on the same game I played last night. I decided against it because I'm tired and don't feel like it'd matter if I even bothered. Everything feels like an endless hamster wheel with no end but the one you make. I fucking hate modern computers. I fucking hate Microsoft. I fucking hate the Chinese. I fucking hate how gaming is mainstream now and the entire industry subsists off of whales and gachas and casual faggotry. I fucking hate "achievements" and how they've ruined my brain's reward system. I hate steam. I hate gaming becoming a fucking social media platform when it used to just be games. I fucking hate videogames.

>>29259 I think it's because I want it to mean something. Even if I know it's essentially worthless I can look back and say "Yeah, I did manage to achieve that goal." or "I did beat that game better than 99% of other people." Videogames don't feel fun anymore. Even the old ones I loved as a kid. Either it's my depression or the fact I've fucked my brain beyond belief through so much gaming but regardless it doesn't feel rewarding anymore just to play a game. There's no discovery that The Legend of Zelda gave, or flow state like getting into your groove in TF2 and Quake, or sense of wonder and astonishment like watching a Colossus tower over Wander and then realize you have to climb it to kill it. It all feels formulaic, metered, just enough to drag me in but then my brain starts screaming for it to stop, to go outside and breathe in the air, or write something, or draw something, or try to live in some other way. I'd like to make a game and try to make it special, or unique. But all I have is time to play vidya, and that's all lost its luster.
>>29362 If you do have depression, that certainly could be a major contributing factor behind your feelings. But at the same time, there are many, many other adults out there that feel similarly about video games who don't have depression. So depression may be something that adds fuel to the fire, so to speak, not necesarily the thing that sparks it. >Videogames don't feel fun anymore. Even the old ones I loved as a kid. >It all feels formulaic, metered, just enough to drag me in When you were a kid, all these video game tropes were new and fresh, simply because you just hadn't played a lot of them yet. Sure, video games have always innovated, such as adding some extra thought to the writing to make a really in-depth plot, or throwing in a neat gameplay mechanic. But over time, it is inevitable that you as the player start to notice repeating story elements, character tropes, etc. You begin to know exactly where the story is going before any hints tease you or events happen. With books, at least you can find enjoyment in developing the scene in your mind, since there are little to no pictures. With movies, tropes may be dull, but at least you are only spending 2 or so hours of your life in your seat at the theater. With games, it may take anywhere between 20 to 100 hours to get yourself to the end, only to be met with a variation of the same conclusion you've seen 10 times before. With vidya, ignorance, and learning from the game as it teaches you, is a major element of your enjoyment. Which may be why games don't seem nearly as fun to you anymore as an adult. >I think it's because I want it to mean something. This is probably a very common sentiment from long-time video game players. I can personally relate to this very much, too. If you don't get the same rush from simply exploring a game anymore, and you aren't surprised or awed by the plots presented to you, then you try to find a way to make the time you spent on the game seem more meaningful. Video games are a serious time investment with little tangible proof of your efforts. This is much easier to justify when you are a kid, when you are supposed to relax and play and enjoy your free time before taking on adult responsibilities. But when you are older and realize how valuable time can be, you look for ways to make such an investment reasonable. This is also why achievements have become so popular. >but then my brain starts screaming for it to stop, to go outside and breathe in the air, or write something, or draw something, or try to live in some other way. Which is likely why you keep experiencing this ^ >I'd like to make a game and try to make it special, or unique. A handful of people desire to take this path, because it is something that can make money, create tangible experience with coding, writing, art, etc. while also connecting with a hobby you've loved since childhood. You can help bring some of that happiness and wonder to today's kids. Though of course, making a game takes a lot of work, and like you said, time. But it can be done. Overall, this is why many people are selective with the games they play once they reach adulthood. They don't buy every game they see, purchase something on a whim, or try and join in on the latest trend. They look into the game to see if there is something special about it, whether it is gameplay, story, graphics, etc. that makes the time investment worth it. That why, they not only feel like their time is better spent, they also have more time to do other things, develop other skills, have other hobbies. It also saves lots of money. After much thought, it seems like balance is the key, as cliché as that might sound. Video games can be a fun activity, but doing other non-vidya activities is essential. If you are bored, looking for something different, something exciting, picking up the controller might not be the best choice anymore. A book, a walk, socializing might be better choices. I know that listening to your brain might not always be the best idea for someone with depression, but if your mind is screaming for you to go outside, write, draw, etc. instead of playing a game, it is pushing these feelings for a reason.

Now that the refugee crisis is over we can start this up again. The thread's theme is simple: Play your game and post about it as you progress! I've picked up Sonic Unleashed's PC port again. There are long segments where it's multiple night stages in a row and you don't get to play any day stages. I definitely can see how this would've been an absolute pain without the fast loading times, 60 FPS and other fixes they've made.

>>29364 I haven't kept up with that game in years. How recent is this? I knew about the west of loathing but not this one. I like that they kept the same PHP/HTML interface they had in the game, going by the screenshots.
>>29368 It came out in 2022, so pretty recently. Interface is exactly the same as west/kingdom. Like I said it really feels like a throwback. Has that 2000s style humour as well. Made my guy a cheese wizard. I go around summoning stinky cheese to ward off horrors from beyond the stars.

>>29379 no that was pretty much it you can probably guess i have trouble making friends or having conversations because of "things", having to 'hide my autism' yadda yadda. it's just that when i think things are going good and i think i'm gonna finally have people i can hang out with and trust them to be comfortable with my 'weirdness' even just a bit, we get separated - either i have to move away or they have to because reasons (different classes, roles, shifts, whatever). all contact besides greetings fall off quickly and i have to start all over again. it's been the same story over the years. i don't really want to look clingy by trying to call out to them, and the few times i did they really never seem to take much interest in it either or looked weirded out to me it's not that bad to be honest. i still have a few people i keep in touch with despite this but it's been years since i've seen them offline thanks for reading my blogpost
