I don't disagree with Jonah's assessment, but I also have my own take on games, so here it is. Every game is either about not touching bad things, learning about something that's happened in the past, or determining someone's fate, or somewhere in between.

A triangle showing three extremities of game types. Don't Touch the Bad Things is at the top, and that's every Mario game. Bottom left is Find Out What Happened, and that's Her Story. Bottom right is Decide Someone's Fate, which is Reigns. In the very middle, with equal parts all three, is Bastion. Other games somewhere in between the points are Ape Out, the Exit 8, Portal, Cave Story, Paradise Killer, Lorelei & the Laser Eyes, Crow Country, The Flame in the Flood, The The Stanley Parable, To the Moon, 1000xRESIST, and Papers Please.

"Fellow Feeling" is a mod I made for Caves of Qud, one of my favourite games. It adds 100+ new "faction feelings", those little bits of text that explain why legendary characters keep getting into fights between the bazaar stalls at the Six Day Stilt. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

complicated feelings on this because the industry (tbh all industry) is in the Worst Place and finding work and/or money can feel impossible but even inside that: if someone is telling you to get out of games because there's "no future" here as anything beyond a dark joke, i'd raise an eyebrow

Jolted awake from a disorienting nightmare, struggled to fall asleep again, only to dream that I uncovered a lost Beastie Boys demo where they considered breaking their "no marketing" rule in 2002 so they could make a collab song for King's Field IV Not exactly Kublai Khan, is it

A lyrics site showing a strange King's-Field-themed rewrite of The Beastie Boys' song "Intergalactic".

This distills several of the ideas I've been trying to get across to otherwise-sensible-people in the last while, both in and out of games: - There's always a reason why decisions get made (even if sometimes the reason is bad) - The more invested someone is, the less they can be trusted to judge it

Every day I wake up and step out the door into cold that could kill. But by grit, wit, spit, writ, and the collective calluses of endless people I'll never get the chance to know, I survive. That's pretty cool. Hard to remember, sometimes; but hard to forget, these days.
