I offer an expansion:

it was the best thing ever hearing your reaction to duelinks playing 'let it go' on-command

moon child becoming a huge meme overnight and then the original devs finding out and being the chillest people ever RELEASING ALL OF THE SOURCE FOR FREE is genuinely the best possible outcome

every time you make a game you have to make the options menu again. it don't matter how many times, still gotta do it. nobody else can do it for you. looks a little sloppier each time.

reddit is a wonderful platform where you are encouraged to talk about other people’s shit or repost it without attribution but if you post your own stuff they will beat you with hammers

a lot of my favorite games are things that are like

Genre-savvy, but library filler

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

Perhaps it’s years of conditioning from games like The Last of Us that’s made me think video games can only ever treat parenthood as a difficult and thorny obstacle to grapple with on the way to true understanding, but what stood out to me most about Pragmata is that both of its leads just seem happy to be here, and with each other. There’s no dramatic warm-up to the two joining together as a cohesive unit. You have a kid who needs some guidance and a man who is more than happy to give her a high-five and a piggyback ride along the way. Pragmata is short, but it’s also sweet. Plenty of games will tell you that parenthood is hard and requires you to self-actualize in ways you never have before, but Pragmata is for those who have already done that work. Pragmata feels like an older game, but maybe it’s also a sign that in the years since the games it was influenced by first came out, the way that games treat parenthood has changed for the better.

Its blend of the shooter and puzzle genres is a lot of fun, but what stuck out to me most is that Pragmata feels more mature than a lot of the Dad Games because Hugh already developed empathy before meeting Diana, and doesn't treat parenthood like a massive obstacle on the way to true understanding.

hot take: i wish shining force was the enduring fantasy tactics rpg series and not fire emblem

(both enduring would be best tho)

A redraw of Roll's menu sprite from MegaMan 8. She is looking at the camera with a smile, one finger pointing up and the other tucked behind her back.
