In which YM tries a Let's Try
I'm enjoying the LTs a lot btw!! Like I'm a horrible backseat gamer so in some ways it brought back memories of trying to teach my dad to play Goldeneye (back!! back!! up!! use the thing!! no, not that thing!! look, just give me the controller!) but it's a lot of fun to see someone react as it all happens haha (especially in the blood cavern...)
Voting without Reviewing
Rpg Maker game tear-jerkers.
I tear up ridiculously easily at the corniest shit (like even obviously tacked-on father-son reconcilement subplots in awful blockbuster movies I'VE . . . I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU KID *fondly chucks under chin before dying of monster wounds* noooooo) but never games, I think. This is probably due to the fact I don't play many but also because I think a lot of them go for melodramatic sadness like the semiobligatory destroyed village sequence rather than smaller bittersweet moments.
In terms of gamesadness I think the closest I ever got was the two N64 Zelda games. Like in the first one you had this monstrous dark future world where the gorons got enslaved and the ranch owner guy is fucking drinking himself to death in the village place and all your childhood friends are all melancholy and alone and turn into some fucking coin things to help you on your quest aaaa. Majora's Mask was almost too grotesque to be sad but stuff like uh what happens if you don't stop the aliens in the ranch or that whole wedding subquest and the knowledge that it kept happening over and over again was pretty overwhelmingly bleak back then!! Maybe it's not too good an example because both those games were more despairing than tearjerking at that point but I guess the point is that sometimes a light touch works best, and it's better to focus on smaller moments of sadness than beat people over the head with MASS DEATH. It was a less sad to see the ocarina of time castle town being decayed and overrun by zombies than it was seeing the villagers desperately trying to keep a brave face on things in their shitty messed-up world!!
