      HungryGoriya is one I just found this week and she rules. She can appreciate a NES game thensame way I do. Master System had some gems too. Pre 3D gaming is my jam, partially cause it used to be how I paid rent and partially cause it's just how I like my games. I'm only 31, so I didn't grow up with them but when I visited friends with older brothers or whatever I'd gravitate towards the older consoles. As a kid I almost traded my n64 for a SNES until my parents stopped me. 3d sukks

          I noticed that. She doesn't avoid pointing out flaws but doesn't dwell on them and talks about how to get around them. And we have the same taste in games. It used to be a bit frustrating when the Angry Reviewers would go hard on a game because they weren't paying attention or trying to play it as a different game. They approached it with the wrong expectations and idea of how the game is played and got mad about it. There's for sure bullshit in some old school games but a decent amount of rage was field by them not paying attention or taking notes in a game where that's expected of you. I don't go faster in a Kirby game despite holding the A button despite that being how you do it in racing games so Kirby is bad was the mentality for so many.

              From a musical and visual and film perspective as far as what I've done personally, I think limitation is ESSENTIAL to good art, whether self imposed or otherwise. Not in avoiding the letter E when writing a novel or whatever but in keeping a sense of scope to things. It's easy to get carried away as a creator.

                  Gonna nitpick. Aliens was James Cameron. Alien was Ridley Scott. Behind Kubrick, he's probably my second most hated director behind Kubrick who still has great films (same with Kubrick to be clear, I just despise their approach). I love Alien, it's a top 5 movie of mine but Dan O'Bannon, Hr Giger, the actors etc. made it what it was. Ridley Scott directed but he it wasn't like His Vision. Blade Runner's best version is the theatrical release but you edit out the voiceovers. Deckard being maybe a recent himself distracts from the point of the film and the source material and everyone except involved except Ridley Scott agrees with me on this. Director cut of kingdom of heaven was dope but...it's one of those ones that I would have done more accurately and still had the same effect... the rest of his output is mid at best.
