@pillowfort i genuinely love the tone of much writing by people who are not especially good writers. fan translations are a good one for this. the "keikaku means plan" thing is a joke, but it's also an expression of unselfconscious generosity & enthusiasm in a way that a writer couldn't.

@pillowfort on the other hand!! gamedev is full of shit that if done well will not be noticed by the player, but nevertheless improves the experience. so, yeah.

@pillowfort it's partly a question of skill & partly that the writer just spends more time with this shit in their head. they remember the constraints better, because it's their job.
