"fun" being a requirement for games is what keeps this medium from being taken seriously you're going to tell me Requiem for a Dream, The Downward Spiral, Blood Meridian, Guernica, etc, are "fun"? masterpieces have to be interesting, not necessarily "fun"

Never forget what they did

Two Europeans arrived in America having spent fourteen months being told by MAGA accounts that European civilisation was collapsing. The streets of Paris, rivers of crime. London, a caliphate. Oslo presumably reclaimed by wolves. JD Vance, a man who looks like a thumb that went to Yale and still couldn’t find a personality, flew to Munich to personally inform European leaders that their continent was dying. They listened politely, the way you listen to someone at a party who has had too much to drink and needs to feel important. MAGA trolls spent years warning that Europe would soon speak Arabic, that the cathedral spires were coming down, that sharia was six months away. This from a country where Muslims make up roughly the same share of the population as in Europe, give or take two percentage points. A detail that has never troubled anyone posting at 2am in a Punisher skull hoodie, eating a gas station burrito, lower back destroyed, credit score in freefall, absolutely certain the problem is Oslo. But America has the highest GDP in the world. The highest. MAGA men twerk to this number every morning like it personally pays their medical bills. It does not. It does not pay anyone’s medical bills. That is, remarkably, the entire point. But the number is big and big numbers feel like winning, which is lucky, because winning is now the only thing you can afford. “Honey, I need to call my congressman and find out how high our GDP is this morning.” She has already left. So these two Europeans flew across the Atlantic to witness what all that GDP looks like with human eyes. The shining city. The paradise. The country that spent fourteen months laughing at Europe’s crumbling civilisation while its own bridges were held together by institutional optimism. And what a civilisation. So advanced it projects power across the Middle East with carriers so expensive that a Shahed drone costing four hundred dollars, assembled outside Tehran by a man eating a sandwich, sends the entire vessel sprinting back beyond a thousand kilometres. To drop six bombs on anything, the jets refuel three times and fly the distance from New York to a different geological era. Ukraine has been swatting these same drones like mosquitoes for two years with equipment from a military car boot sale. The most expensive navy in history needs a thousand kilometre running start. Then Zelensky called. He offered to protect the oil refineries, keep prices from two hundred dollars a barrel, and stop American soldiers catching Iranian missiles with their bodies. Trump said no. Flat, cheerful no. Whatever was on Fox ranked higher. His cholesterol was doing its best to make the decision for him anyway. Part 6 of their honest impressions is a Philadelphia subway entrance actively decomposing. Grey liquid of unknown origin weeping down the walls. Broken glass overhead. Tiles that haven’t seen a mop since Carter was explaining stagflation to a nation that had stopped listening. The whole thing radiating the energy of a place where something went wrong in 1994 and the report is still pending. Their verdict, delivered with the hollow expression of people who just watched their worldview collapse into damp Philadelphia tile: it looks like a horror film. Literally a horror film. Fourteen months of lectures. The highest GDP in human history. Carriers that sprint from a drone worth less than a second hand Kia. A broad face with beard who flew to Europe to announce its death. A president who was offered a chance to protect his own soldiers and said no thanks. And the first thing America showed them was a subway auditioning for The Last of Us. It didn’t need to prepare.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse developers are trying really, really hard to make sure you know it's a metroidvania without using the word 'metroidvania' pcgamer.com/games/action/c…


Game studios abandoned 2D graphics too early. It's hard to get across how jarring it was going from the height of 2D to primitive 3D practically overnight.
