Hello Future Me did a Video on Video Game Worldbuilding, pretty much describing what I mean by "Metaphorical distances" in Video Games among other things.

You ever see someone complain about a plot hole in your fic in one chapter that you know is explained or expanded upon in a later chapter? When I see those I feel like they take too much effort not to respond to. Responding can lead to a stupid argument but not responding leaves someone with a false impression of your work. I find typing out a response but not sending it satisfies the itch to respond without the possibility of a pointless argument, but it's still ultimately a waste of time. I feel like it's one thing if you don't like my writing, but it's an entirely different issue if you've read over 20 chapters in but can't read 5-7 more to see a supposed plot hole filled in/explained at a plot relevant time. I feel that it's a personality flaw on my part that I feel compelled to respond in the first place, even if I don't.

So the Shovel Knight creators put out their new top down 2D soulslike Zeldaish game, Mina the Hollower. A Hollower being one of a guild of burrowing explorers/geologists exploring caverns and other hollows of the earth. Yeah, the name's a bit of a stretch.

Still, it's a fun, challenging 2D Zelda game that isn't shy about the Bloodborne and Castlevania inspiration while still feeling like its own thing. Has fun mechanics with lots of ways to customize your moveset with equippable trinkets and is always throwing some new shit at you to keep it fresh as it goes along.

I do have some complaints in that there's some things that hurt when you're burrowing that feel like they shouldn't like fire on the surface and sometimes it can be annoying with where it sets you back you after falling in a pit. But overall it's a good damn game that I spent most of the weekend swearing at.
