I LOVE VIDEO GAMES

MAKE GAMES CONSTANTLY FOREVER

^that is the slogan of www.glorioustrainwrecks.com which you should look at right now.
i have to be honest i have not been taking that advice as of late but swear that i intend to finish one of the millions of projects that i have started and then immediately abandoned (hahaha thats what they all say..).

Some people have the capability to produce a strong creative vision, spitting out art and narratives like its nothing, but struggle when it comes to the technical side (programming etc).
others, on the other hand (me), enjoy the coding aspect but immediately get stuck when they have to implement anything that requires any sort of artistic capability.

this is why i rarely get past the initial implementation of basic game mechanics before losing interest in a project..
this is also why i think the first kind of person is more likely to make and finish a game (its really not that hard to lean basic coding in an engine like Godot, creativity is much harder to learn.). i also think that they generally make better games.

just thought i'd mention these gifs are from seriously old projects lol

i mean dont get me wrong dude my notepad++ is filled with insane ramblings because i am constantly filled with ideas and stories and characters, i just cant make them real so whatever

GAMES I LIKE

ALERT: UNINTERESTING RAMBLING AHEAD

This is my home, i live here

I think videogames are an important kind of art. My slow processing makes it difficult to properly explain my feelings about this, but i think there is a means of expression that is very unique to games due to the degree of immersion that is provided by the interactivity inherent to the medium..

at the very least they have become an important part of my life. due to my young age combined with my father having done work for playstation in the late 90's/early 2000's, i grew up playing both ps2 games and xbox 360 games as a kid. I always wondered if it was rare to be a kid who's favourite childhood games spanned such a range as dead or alive and halo 4.
my dad works in advertising, so most of the ps2 games he has are demo disks or press releases and a lot of them dont work :( i really wanted to play team buddies.
my plan is to buy a small crt telly and steal his ps2 one day and modify it so i can put a metal gear solid 2 iso on it..

We would play this split screen after school every monday, from our perspective it was just a better version of call of duty

my mum is a librarian, so that is where a lot of my 360 games were sourced from. the result of this was my childhood being filled with the less-popular games from popular franchises; i had games like tony hawk's proving grounds and 007 legends. i LOVED them.

by far the game of my childhood was Lego Star Wars the complete saga. me and my dad would play this game over and over again, crammed around his overheating macbook due to the awkward control scheme
as a child i was unaware that i was torturing my poor father when i begged to play the podracing level (my favourite, i think our copy had an easier version), without understanding that he has EPILEPSY.. the things he did for my amusement

RAMBLE OVER
