@Hayling@weirder.earth we saw @Facet stream it and then had to get a copy for ourselves because it's such a charming game. haven't played it yet but i love the tim-burton-style visuals and weird story

wow, i just saw footage of okage shadow king used in a youtube video about turn-based combat design

that game never gets attention at all

the same video also used footage from radiant historia, which also is often forgotten

and!!! several interesting-looking games we don't recognise, if anyone could tell us what game it is at 2:50 here, right before bug fables? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktogjiX3eI4

if you had to pick one AAA video game to call a true work of art, which would it be?

(i'm aware there are far more indie games that are very clearly deep artistic works, that's why i want to restrict it to AAA games to see what people think is particularly artistic in that area)

neat thing we just learned: part of the reason betamax failed is because sony had weird stipulations about who was allowed to sell betamax VCRs

unlike the various manufacturers of VHS VCRs, they didn't allow anyone to rebrand their machines, whereas in the 1980s it was apparently popular for video rental places to rebrand VCRs that they would also rent out (because buying one was expensive), so they weren't interested in the sony ones they weren't allowed to rebrand

also, stores that *sold* betamax VCRs had to do so under a contract that said they would also sell other sony electronics, which meant that for retailers who weren't already selling sony tvs and stuff, getting into selling betamax was a more expensive proposition than getting into selling vhs or even v2000
-F?/R?

all that comes together to mean that sony basically ruined their chances of success by being too greedy, which is something they've done more than once

now that we've started collecting physical copies of soundtracks, it'd be neat if they came on little minidisc cartridges instead of CDs
