Chiming in with why I love SV: While the game itself is a new thing (well 9 years old at this point), it really feels like a product of an earlier time. And not just the graphics, music, gameplay, and plot. It lacks all the dark pattern mechanics and monetization that’s nearly inescapable in modern games. It just feels good to play, but always feels good to put down.

I just find the game endlessly charming. Every time I pick it up it reminds me of my childhood playing SNES.

Well we can’t say they didn’t try.

Huh, this is 100% free. Looks like it’s a smaller version of Lunacid (which is $14)

No seriously though, there’s a lot of places it looks like a personal art project. But the aesthetic is awesome and the setting looks interesting.

It’s not made of sidewalk anymore either

I’m glad this conversation is happening because I hate Black Mirror for this. Everything that happens is the worst possible outcome. The ideas and situations are great, but actually watching it is a slog. Pessimism porn is the perfect designation.

Clocking in at 7 1/2 hours, why is Princess Peach Showtime $60? It should be $20 with this reasoning.
