@slime_machine I think the idea that any NA studio is incapable of producing a masterful game because of where they're from is ridiculous on the surface of it. Any person from anywhere is capable of producing something meaningful & impactful. This is the main reason, but I'll elaborate more
-
@slime_machine The other main thing is just the nature of subjectivity in general. Like, what do you mean by modern masterpiece if that makes sense. My favorite two games from the last decade which I consider masterpieces are Hollow Knight and Metroid Dread, Australian and Spanish.

@slime_machine And my favorite game I've ever played was by Naughty Dog, an NA Studio. Maybe the stuff I like isn't as enjoyed as widely for various reasons, but all the stuff listed, based on listening to you talk about elden ring is just as impactful to me as that game was to you

@slime_machine Also lastly, I enjoy my job a lot. It's far and away more creatively fulfilling than anything I did prior to youtube (don't enter the food industry, kids.) Yea the label poketuber is cringe, but I think I've got a different feel and niche since I do programming / rng math stuff

@slime_machine also I know you wouldn't misgender on purpose but I appreciate u checking my bio for pronouns cuz I am mega sensitive about them
