Hi. I like Metroidvanias (Guacamelee, Knytt, Castlevania SotN) but am not sure I would like Hollow Knight. I find myself getting more and more impatient with over-hard boss fights, etc. (which is why I dropped out of Dark Souls). But people are calling it a classic. I'm wondering your opinion. I 100%'d Ori and the Blind Forest (but while I loved moving in it, I found it bland, no character).

@Khrestos Hi, nice birb! (They are called birbs here on the 'don, I don't know why.)

@trollskog Those are some purdy colors!!!!

Gotta say, watching #TheGamingMoms play INSIDE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2ta1fP2vrM) is reminding me of Harley Brown's art wisdom: color doesn't matter as much as value does. What a great-lookin' game, and your eye always knows what's going on!

@dona Not an empty bowl.
Tupperware....Definitely tupperware. #MeAtChurchFunctions

@MJBlacke I think gold leaf could work, but I'm not a gold leaf expert. But blue/yellow go together colortheorywise, IIRC.
You gotta follow your heart.
It's already a strong piece as is, but even a little texture in the bg could be nice.

These are great! inspiring for #BackgroundLearnersAnonymous !

@Gexten Caturdays are slow for Masto. I have an announcement but I'm waiting 'til Monday to post it.
It's kinda like how newspaper comic artists knew to put their best stuff out on Sunday (cuz everyone bought the Sunday paper back in the day)...Monday had second-highest readership, Tuesday the third, etc. etc. and It tapers off 'til Caturday.

@priya Beautiful!

@razcore That is SO surreal...I think I like the contrast of the calm calm calm expression with the garish cheerful drippy ice cream head.

@switchingsocial I enjoyed the Bob Ross bot for a while...

@dona Time to go over with a plate of cookies and a pen and paper to write down their phone # so you can text WHAT R U COOKING??

@idesofmerch Crap, this is an idea that NEEDS TO HAPPEN! Lammy is my spirit animal!!

Once upon a time, I thought I'd get a Master's Degree in video game narrative (?!) and I thought my thesis could be on how women play video games differently than men (in a more a copilot style) and that game designers ought to consider this style of play when making games.
That never happened, but I thought about it while watching The Gaming Moms play Guacamelee 2
