A problem with The Witness is that the game’s single biggest excitement comes from a twist that revealing completely spoils

So it’s stuck in the position of letting 80% of its player base walk right past the best part, or preserving the moment of discovery.

I’m personally grateful it has the integrity to let me find it on my own, but it’s also a bummer since at least two of my friends beat it without ever realizing

The Witness has a lot of generative puzzles that I guess technically are replayable, but you can’t go back to before the moments of joy of discovery and that’s the core of what made that game incredible to me

Neon White isn’t necessarily low-poly, but it has a dreamcast early-2000’s vibe to the levels

The new Futurama season dropped an Apple Maps punchline in the last episode that felt painfully out of date even for our timeline.

I thought the writing had been decent up to that point, which made me realize how bad public perception still must be (on a product that works great now, imo)

I hadn’t heard of Venba until now, but it looks right up my alley! Thanks for the link

Not quite the same effect as that “WHUMP” against the door
