"Avoid taking damage", mind blown! Thanks Gotham Knights, this kind of outside of the box thinking is revolutionary, I think I could use this information not just in other games, but in real life too!

The obvious thing for me would be AI made assets, but to be more interesting, I'll say:
A flashing or static button prompt to skip the current cutscene.
It's almost as if they don't want me to watch it, just flash it up if one does press any button

I got this Less Than Jake CD in the post and dang guys Why'd you make the packaging so big, I can't have this sticking out like a sore thumb! I took the booklet and CD and put them in another LTJ album and stashing this in the cupboard..

Amiga games I had:
Cannon Fodder
Cover rating: 4/10 (although damn, I never realised there was a man on the cover!!)
Game rating: 9/10
It gets too hard later on, but what a blast this game was. Having enemies occasionally bleeding out screaming was innovative!

If it wasn't for the cheats, I'd score it lower because it so too damn hard without them. But with them, I loved this game. Great music, graphics and gameplay. Cool ship upgrade mechanic.

"Thank goodness you're here!" Is the kind of game I play wishing I'd come up with it, it's mad and hilarious! But just the concept of punching everything to see what happens is a game created for me.

I haven't looked at my Frasier game pitch video in a long time and, I really outdid myself with this artwork didn't I!

Excuse me showing a puzzle solution but it's an example of what not to do when designing a puzzle. Simon says "Do I really need to know what's down there?". This line misinforms the player into thinking they're saying don't bother trying, when it's actually mandatory to continue the game.

Maybe I look like a total loser dressed like this but I guess it invokes a bit more personality than man with Vans hoodie on. But you still can't tell what music I might listen to..

I realised I really enjoy locations in point and click games where you go inside shops or pubs etc, do you feel the same way? I expanded this from a tiny unit to a full on room, now complete with MERCHANDISE

A man on the bus started a conversation with me whilst I had my earphones in, and told me that less people are drinking alcohol now and are sniffing coke instead, and that in the near future alcohol will be cheaper in the pubs. And all the tall people have gone and everyone is short now.

It blows my mind that these three games exist and they have physical PS5 versions AND they all have booklets included.

Come across this when I was messing about (before AI slop was even a thing) for album covers but wouldn't fit my music so it was never used for anything.

Man: No, I didn't hear it.
