I absolutely *LOVE* science. <3 And this GIF is a perfect representation of it. The Japanese, 「恋の化学反応」, means "Chemical Reaction of Love." It's perfect for me. ^_^ <3

@ayachan @starbreaker @Yuki_G_t9tK Oh of course! But I think it becomes much more toxic when this attitude gets carried over to studying game design. Video games have never existed in vacuum and that's true of every era. Otherwise, you get wannabe developers going "imma gonna make the next Call of Duty" and not improving upon what was already there.

@ayachan @starbreaker @Yuki_G_t9tK I think one unintentional yet dangerous consequence of this fragmentation is that it would encourage younger gamers to not delve into the more important (and influential) titles when studying game design. The knowledge of how systems and game mechanics evolve and every game has influenced one another in some form.

@ayachan @KyokiKafuka @Yuki_G_t9tK No shit. Us older gamers might have the money, but we don't have the time.

@ayachan @KyokiKafuka @Yuki_G_t9tK Seems reasonable to me. One game I'm playing now, Sundered, might have been possible on the PSX or even the SNES or Genesis/Megadrive (albeit on a smaller scale), but I don't call it retro. I assume it's all hand-drawn.

Marketing games as "retro" will turn away new players from great content that is modern in its own right. Can we please *NOT* call games done in 2D or old-fashioned style "retro fun" or other things referencing retro gaming, please? Thanks.

soooooo why can't I access witches.town?

@ayachan A shame, really, WT had a nice friendly bilingual community going on

Due to the bigotry of the owner, I am officially leaving Witches.Town. You can find me at the usual places (just search for Ayase Leilani in the search bar).

Also, the owner is being a sore loser by closing down the whole community at the end of April, moving to take us all down with her.

You cannot take us down.

THE TWILIGHT OF THE OLD AGE, THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE

"All of my studies have led me to believe that those of us who believe in the future are the ones who shall inherit the 'post-world' and carry it into the 'new world.' This having been said, I am of the 'post-world;' I am not one to give up on the human species and the survival of me and my own without the biggest fight I can possibly put up."

@ayachan *kissies you softly back* Thank you so much for being there with me. I struggle with these feelings whenever they pop up randomly, and it sucks. I love you just as much. ❤️
