Onigashima
that was HARROWING
Onigashima
I'm on map 3
Onigashima
a nightmare with no escape
oh i'm scary
what do you mean, Jamke never died
Onigashima
I managed to save all but one of the villages (the one that had the best item but Oh Well)
Onigashima
I might have given up on the run if Lex hadn't killed a level 20 boss with a 28% chance axe hit
Onigashima
Beowulf's AI was completely insane and came one die roll short of killing Ethlyn before I could recruit him

oh i'm scary
I feel like the extremely long and winding emotional journey you took here is one of the best illustrations I've ever seen of my pet theory about game design
oh i'm scary
which is that sometimes
oh i'm scary
if you've captured the right magic
HotXC
one of the more memorable map themes imo
oh i'm scary
a game just unironically benefits from having things significantly wrong with it
Onigashima
it's THRILLING
Onigashima
old testament game design at its finest
Onigashima
where things just go wrong constantly and leave you scrambling to survive
Onigashima
you never feel safe
oh i'm scary
modern Fire Emblem games and their indie clones try hard to sand off the edges, and like, that's probably smart
oh i'm scary
these are jagged ass rusty edges that will give you tetanus
oh i'm scary
but also
oh i'm scary
there's a type of experience that you CANNOT recapture that way
oh i'm scary
and it has value
Onigashima
yes
HotXC
some fun suffering
mask of pride 🌸
quinn i am so glad you're having a good time
Onigashima
I AM
moontouched
it's the Grit
moontouched
the Friction
Onigashima
the feeling when Voltz sidled up to my army and just vaporized Noish in one turn
Onigashima
and I reset and am just pouring over my entire army trying to find ANYONE who can survive one round of combat with him
Onigashima
and just. there's no longer a safe strategy
Onigashima
you HAVE to take insane risks
Onigashima
oh right the other joke I was gonna make
