  • I used to go on Twitch all the time like 10 or so years ago, but nowadays I rarely go there anymore. Most of the streamers I enjoyed either quit or got too big and/or corporate, and their chats are just meme and emote spam nowadays so I don’t even bother with it in case I do end up watching them.

    I do watch smaller streamers from time to time, the interaction is much better, but nowadays I prefer to watch VODs so I can skip parts or rewind and so on, it’s just a better experience overall for me.

    Regarding your question, why delete your account? I mean, if you don’t plan on ever using the website again, sure, but otherwise why not just keep it in case?






  • There’s this concept in game design called game flow, which in simple terms is essentially what happens when a game is both engaging and challenging at just the right amounts to the point where you get immersed in the experience. You can’t have good flow without both some challenge and reward.

    That’s why games that are too simple and/or easy are boring. I feel like that’s a very fine line you have to walk if you want to make a “cozy” game. How relaxing is relaxing enough without being boring? You need a minimum of challenge and stakes, because that’s makes good games good.








  • This is less a sign of “the devs don’t trust the player” and more just plain out bad game design. Maybe the game itself is very obvious (I don’t know, i haven’t played nor do I intend to), but this kind of thing is usually done when the game is obtuse and the developer wants a quickfix instead of actually reworking the entire thing. Then again, if your game is for little children and they can’t figure out how to play it, then there’s something fundamentally wrong with it and maybe you should go back to the drawing board.
