The tweet that inspired this is doubly funny if you know anything about speedrunning, since getting a good time requires thoroughly understanding the game in question and practicing to the point that you can reliably execute difficult techniques. Brings to mind my many, many attempts needed to learn how to stutter step and mockball in Super Metroid.

Yeah, the white phosphorous scene doesn’t really work unless you’re coming into it with a mindset of “whoa badass, this is gonna be just like those AC-130 missions in Call of Duty”

Apparently the devs wanted to include a branching story path where the player doesn’t use the WP, but they didn’t have the budget.

Hell yeah, always good to meet another indie dev who’s trying to help revive dead genres.

It’d make sense if Starcraft is patient zero, this video encapsulates everything I dislike about RTS and in my mind is antithetical to what a strategy game should be.

Who decides what “the standard” is and why should I care? Speeding up the older games is an option I don’t have to use and one that is not set by default. I don’t get the option to slow down the newer games.

I played Tiberian Dawn/Tiberian Sun at medium speed because maxing out the speed felt like activating Yakety Sax mode, lol

Barbarossa was modest and restrained compared to this.

I’m sure the bazinga brain free speech crowd will be just as angry about this as they are about fascist subreddits getting shut down
