I've been playing banjo kazooie again - for the first time. Its a balance when playing a retro game you've no nostalgia for. It is immediately apparent how far we have come in just knowing how video games *should* be made. My thesis has been "old games have no respect for your time". Luckily I am playing the xbox live arcade version streamed through gamepass - so there is a little grace still available for me. I am wandering - more than I'd prefer, as the missions are foggy in their instructions. Older games love having you do things multiple times - with the forward progress only occurring on the 3rd attempt. Whats that all about? I don't have time for that. So I fly through the star 3 times, I climb the snow mans scarf, I race against boggy. I do the banjo AND the kazooie, but I am still wondering where to go. That doesn't ever change.
I think the first line came up in the middle of the night - or the time right before bed. Trying to aim for something about point of view.
and then something at the end - haven't found the last line yet
