fuck, it’s onto me

Seriously how/why would you code for the very specific situation that the non-NTSC Sega Mega Drive this game was running on suddenly somehow changes itself to a NTSC one while still running? Like… this is a Mega Drive game. This was from over 20 years ago. I have so many questions.

The dude who programmed MIckey Mania, Jon Burton, is a fucking wizard

He has a youtube channel where he talks about all the crazy programming shit he did while working at Traveler’s Tales, and I highly recommend anyone check it out if you’re interested in a behind the scenes look at these kinds of games

“omg you can’t play video games on easy mode!!”

listen if i wanted to struggle with some dumb task and fail a dozen times for bullshit reasons only to get some underwhelming reward once i finally get it right i would just live my actual life and not play video games smh

pls love urself

Oh and if you want to play something like Dark Souls? Don’t feel bad for using guides or looking up walkthroughs. I’ve done that to find specific items, or when something is so bullshit and obscure that I need help for it (I’m pretty damn good at it, too.) 

And guess what? My experience didn’t diminish at all. If anything it helped me. 

Use guides. Use cheats. Use item duplication glitches. Clip through the floor going 30 miles a second. Just have fun

Its about having fun
