<p>So a few weeks ago, I wrote about how traditional Japanese aesthetics can help make games seem bigger and full of life with <a href="http://takunomi.space/post/156927119787/suggestion-a-wabi-trait-in-video-games-when">mere suggestion</a>.</p>
<p>This doesnt change that sometimes, some games are just <strong>fucking</strong> <strong><em>huge</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Take the original Pokémon games (red and green, 1996). They contain <em>one hundred and fifty</em> monsters. The number of Pokémon is currently ridiculously high, but for the initial pair of games to contain so many unique monsters, that act both as enemies and playable characters, each with their own sprite, blows me away. Compare this to the first <em>Final Fantasy</em> (<em>FF1</em>), which had 128 enemies. Granted, the <em>Pokémon R/B/G</em> world really isnt <a href="http://socks-studio.com/img/blog/tumblr_lkshcyoNE81qhydr5o1_1280.png">so big by itself</a> (Not including dungeons). Yet the areas that seem to be just unnecessarily stretched and winding corridors, are actually playing two parts: They are sort of dungeons by themselves, and most importantly, they are wildernes to hunt more pokémon.</p>
<p>While the individual Pokémon dont really differentiate mechanically, the game does have 55 different spells/attacks, divided across the now classic expanded rock/paper/scissors system. Again, compare this to <em>FF1</em>. 32 spells. Its a lot, especially from such an old game, but Pokemon just seems <em>huge</em> in comparison.</p>
<p>Another GameBoy title that manages to feel huge by simply just containing an enourmous amount of content, is <em>Links Awakening</em> (<em>LA</em>). This game is structurally pretty much a remake of the original <em>Legend of Zelda</em> (<em>LoZ</em>), but with more advanced controls, more complex tools, an actual narrative and a fuller world. While <em>LoZ</em> was 8x16 screens big, plus 8 dungeons of monsters to kill, <em>LA</em> is 16x16 screens big and has 8 far more complex dungeons of unique architecture, changing perspectives, and even a few good puzzles. The game even has _<em>eighty-one</em> enemies, 16 traps and 9 bosses, many of which function mechanically pretty differently from each other, which is pretty damn impressive.</p>
<p>Size doesnt matter, but when somebody manages to fit games like the original <em>Pokémon</em> and LA on friggin <em>GameBoy</em> cartridges, I cant help but be impressed.</p>

So a few weeks ago, I wrote about how traditional Japanese aesthetics can help make games seem bigger and full of life with [mere suggestion](http://takunomi.space/post/156927119787/suggestion-a-wabi-trait-in-video-games-when).
This doesnt change that sometimes, some games are just **fucking** **_huge_**.

Takunomi has relaunched on a new website, handcoded in Go. It's hosted on a friend's server, and the source code can be seen [here](https://gitfub.space/ohayo-jacob/takunomi-blog). It used to be important to me that I updated rather regularly, and as a challenge, that was fun. That won't happen again, but I definitely have some posts that I want to write, and I'd like to merge some of the content from my old site, [sketcwhales](https://sketchwhales.com).
Since this is the first site I've built from the ground up, I'll talk a little about it for other people who are interested, even though it's very basic:
It's a simple Go program that uses so-called _templates_. These are like html documents, except they take variables from the Go programming, and a finished html document is then served to the sites visitor. I use [tmux ](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki)to run the program in the background, and have I have it check once a minute if the folder I add new posts to has been changed (by checking the folder's metadata). The program is stored in a git repo, and so I simply push to posts to the repo to update the blog. Hopefully the relative simplicity of the program is a testament to Go as a language and not my inadequacy as a programmer.

<p><em>Link's Awakening</em> only has few good puzzles. The third boss (Splitting the eyeball), the 7th dungeon's premise (Navigating the tower with a ball) and the moving floor things in the 8th dungeon.</p>
<p>They aren't hard though. They are opaque. I was stuck for several months as a child due to the first in that list. Not being a native English speaker didn't help me either back then.</p>

<p>Around december I <a href="http://declandineen.com/checkpoints/hp2akj46x6z58hwka4bwmklacmmxym">spoke with the butter-voiced-blessed Declan Dineen</a>, for his podcast show <a href="http://declandineen.com/checkpoints/"><em>Checkpoints</em></a>.</p>
<p>Now that it's out there, and our conversation has been edited into a pleasant little bite, I thought, well, it's nice and all that I'm praising learning how to code, but it's important never to forget: Getting started is never as easy as an experienced person might make it sound.</p>

<p>I'm going on a short blogging break till later in March (around the 22nd) due to exams. There'll still be a recap tomorrow. For today, let's just enjoy this brilliant analysis by Mark Brown, whom you can always count on for insightful thoughts on video games.</p>

<h3><a name="sec3"></a> 4 - LoFi Hip Hop Radio</h3>
<p><br></p>
<p>Hiphop-like music coupled with looping images from amazingly relaxing anime is apparently a thing, and I see no reason not to endorse it one hundred percent. Below you see Shizuku Tsukishima from <em>Whisper of the Heart</em> feeling as relaxed as I hope you do. The image links to one of those previously mentioned hiphop radios.</p>

<p>The video above is one of <em>toco toco tv</em>'s fantastic interviews with interesting and creative Japanese people. Manao Kagawa is a professional Shogi player, and, as far as I can understand, apparently somewhat uncommon, being female.</p>
<p>Besides being a wonderfully relaxing interview, it features a great part in the beginning where Kagawa-san goes to browse the <em>Shirataki Gofukuten</em> kimono shop. It seems that being a Shogi player requires you to wear somewhat formal wear, and the result is that the players looks insanely dashing.</p>
<p>What's even better though, is the mentioning of the <em>Shirataku Ayumi Hai</em>, a yearly Shogi tournament for female players to win beautiful and (I assume) quite expensive kimono.</p>
