Most games try to be "fun" just because within the zeitgeist that's the emotional beat that videogames are "supposed" to hit. When the designers for, say, Call of Duty decide to make the experience of playing their game fun over everything else it's less in service of any conscious thematic exploration and more so just because, y'know, it's a videogame and they want it to sell.

I think what sets the Mario franchise apart is that those games are as committed to exploring the mechanical *meaning* of fun as the Pathologic franchise is to exploring the feeling of dying alone on the Russian steppe. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best game of all time because it commits to delivering fun with every design decision and aesthetic element.

the cool thing abt folding ideas is that the episodes/videos/documentaries are all also designed to have their own narrative to help communicate the story, and which can be picked apart for deeper appreciation of the thing. im not good at this, mind you, but it’s nice!

i feel stupid tbh. like i can’t plan things or do logic. i love logic! i love having rules and using those rules to solve problems, and through the act of solving the problems you can refine your understanding and definitions of the rules!

@AppleAmps @FawnOverFun i mean i’m not an expert on “required religious dress,” is there stopping you from wearing that sort of headgarment? like if you only wear it because you like it, its not like its fetishism or orientalism, right?
