The worst thing a game can do is be so smooth that you slide through it and it doesn't leave an impression

I call it "beneficial friction", the idea that games should have some things that honestly just kinda suck for the player or look kinda objectively bad on paper because those things create mental sticking points, personal stories, opinions.

one benefit of the internet is that you can connect with more people that have the same interests as you. one downside of the internet is that you might connect with people who have no other interests

when I was a little kid, I thought the fact that the winning team had special hats and shirts ready to go meant that sports was rigged

as mostly a baseball outsider, I always kinda thought that Vancouver was half-Jays/half-Mariners but nah, this city is cheering for the Jays

I honestly think clunkiness has absolutely become more and more charming over the years. It's a touch of humanity and earnestness in a world that increasingly lacks those

IIRC it's got that Shyamalan clunkiness but it does actually come together. whether or not you like what it comes together into is a different question
