Platypi vs Hedgehogs

One of the best offenses in the league didn't have it tonight, as they started off with 4 singles and a run in the first inning and never crossed the plate again. The Hedgehogs weren't much better but they were enough better, with a solo homer in the 4th and an RBI in the 5th. The pitching managed to do the rest despite not striking out a single platypus.

Platypi - 1
Hedgehogs - 2

our season is pretty much ded but always good to get a win

I mean if you need to deny anti-vaxxers beds to make room for vaccinated people it sounds like the vaccine isn't working very well >_>

also people get medical treatment if they get in an accident driving drunk or get injured carrying out a mass shooting. Anti-vaxxers aren't on that level at least

I'm not anti-vax in the slightest btw and find them mostly dumb and annoying but some pro-vaxxers are trying really hard to be even worse

Google translate says they think Venusaur is good for stuffing Lucario and Greninja, and I think it says something about being strong in the first Drednaw fight but I can't quite make sense of that part

It actually says Venusaur struggles with aggressive characters like Lucario or Greninja

the rest says it's really good for the first Drednaw fight and as long as your positioning is good it's a real menace post-level 7

This article is using the Japanese translation of metroidvania, which literally means "search action" in English. Also, how many people found that article without knowing that Metroid is? Maybe like 3?

I have changed my mind on what the problem with this point is. Actually, it's totally fine for genre names to be incomprehensible to non-gamers. Genre names are not for non-gamers. Non-gamers will never run into the words "platformer" or "metroidvania."

um, the entire point of the original article is explaining what Metroid is. The section translated in the tweet is literally called "What is the Metroid series?"

You're discussing metroidvanias with people who don't know what metroid is? This is like saying we should change the name "wavebounce" in Smash Bros because it's meaningless to people who've never heard of wavedashing and doesn't tell you anything about it.

No, I'm talking about discussing Metroid with someone who doesn't know what Metroid is, which is exactly what this article is doing. Telling them it's a Metroidvania is completely useless

NeatoAnAccount posted...
Also exploration action is a really generic term. Like sure, you can tell won't play like an FPS or JRPG, but "exploration action" sounds like basically any game with real-time combat where you're looking around for stuff. Metroidvanias have a really specific structure that you have to see to understand. You can't communicate the genre to the uninitiated in a snappy little 3-word name, you need a full description.

it's a genre name, it has to be generic at some level otherwise you're just describing a specific game. Action, Fighting, and Strategy could all describe Final Fantasy.

My contention is that the word metroidvania is known and used by too many people to be forcibly changed from the outside by scolding people who say metroidvania.

unfortunately, that's probably true

>Ok now explain how Metroidvania conveys genre in a vaccum. Or RPG or FPS.

Metroidvania conveys genre because metroidvania is a word in the language english that means "game like metroid"

You may as well be asking "explain how the word 'candy' conveys meaning in a vacuum." It just does. That's how language works: a bunch of people start saying something, so now that thing they say is part of the language.

If we called Metroidvanias "coathanger baklavas" ("Just finished SotN so now I'm looking for a new coathanger baklava") then that would be the correct term to use instead of something more "descriptive," because a tiny little genre name doesn't tell you what kind of game it is unless you already know lots of games in that genre and others so you can compare them.

If someone doesn't know what Metroid is, telling them it's a Metroidvania does nothing. They don't know what "metroid" or "vania" is referring to. If you tell them it's "Exploration Action", they know what the elements mean so they can at least get a general idea of what it is.

Even if you can't know exactly what a game is by a genre name, most genres give at least some indication of the content. Some are very self explanatory, like Racing, Sports, FPS, etc. but even more ambiguous ones like Adventure, Action, and Fighting at least describe the game to some degree.

also Metroidvania can't be compared to a word like "candy" that literally every English speaker knows. It's not on that level of awareness. I doubt even 50% of English speakers know what it means

the term they use is "tansaku akushon"

tansaku - search/explore
akushon - literally the english word action

I think you can safely say the translation is accurate in that regard

context is important! it's not inaccurate per se but explore is much better. When describing games, it's usually used in the context of like "explore dungeons" or "explore an open world" where search wouldn't really make sense.

The difference is that this Nintendo post is a formally published article and Metroidvania is a made up term. They (Nintendo) aren't trying to "replace" anything.

It's also explaining what kind of game Metroid is for people who don't know so calling it a Metroidvania probably wouldn't help much!
