This is a question I've been asking a lot. Anyone who knows my writing knows I kinda hate most remasters, and am pretty hard on remakes. I don't expect everyone to have my values here. Nor should you. We all have different reasons to play games. We all enjoy different parts of them. I like history almost as much as the games themselves.

In discussion though, I'll see some reoccurring reasonings pop up, and I feel compelled to walking through some of them, especially after seeing some people...

Hi, I’m Kayin! I’m a game developer with particular interest in old games, platformers and difficulty. My favorite part of game development is level design so I’m a big sucker for Metroidvanias and Masocore games. I sometimes write about game design, but I mostly write about the games I’ve played these days.

I have my pronouns...
