This attitude of "We're not going to develop on this IP because it may be unprofitable, but we're also not going to sell the rights to it in case it has a sudden surge in popularity" from big publishers is frustrating
I get why not develop it, but not selling it for the vague chance of losing a possible future trend annoys me

That was an interesting stream of American McGee's Alice (2000)
Ran into a game breaking bug early on in Beyond the Wall, and ended up having to level skip to Skool Daze but it started with zero weapons. I was able to proceed but it meant I didn't have the vorpal blade for the entire game (and didn't get the cards until /much/ later)
This created some challenges, the blade is the only ranged weapon that doesn't require will. It also created some odd effects.
Normally when you dive in water you are switched to the blade, but instead you're locked to your current weapon. The croquet mallet actually makes fish less annoying, but most interesting is the ice wand. If you use this underwater it freezes you similar to being hit by a phantasmagoria. This iss almost certainly an intentional mechanic, not a bug, obviously unused, but probably intended at some point, and I think that's a neat discovery!
(I also still managed to finish the entire game in one stream!)
Every step I take, every decision I make, is dictated by an unseen crowd. Their whispers, their murmurs, their silent judgments echo in the recesses of my thoughts, becoming a constant hum in the background of my existence.

Met the mysterious girl for the last time today. Her final words will stay with me forever.
Two days left. The pressure is still there, but it doesn't control me anymore.
Minted more ALC tokens today. Each one is a piece of my journey, a piece of me.
DON'T FOLLOW THE WHITE R-
Dodged a road bomb today. I'm stronger than I was yesterday.
Five days left in my journey. I'm not the same girl I was when I started.
The mysterious girl visited again. Her words are becoming clearer, just like my own thoughts.
Collecting coins isn't just about acceptance anymore. It's about understanding myself.
The voice in my head is quieter today. I'm learning to listen to my own voice.
Three weeks into my journey. It's been a rollercoaster, but I wouldn't change a thing.
Spent some time with the hedgehogs today. Small and strong, just like me.
Minted more ALC tokens today. Each one is a testament to my journey, my struggles, my victories.
Minted more ALC tokens today. Each one is a testament to my journey, my struggles, my victories.
Dodged a big road bomb today. It's not about not falling, it's about getting back up.
