having really specific tastes in travel hub food chains allows you some interesting insights
a small peanut butter moo’d smoothie costs $1 more at LAX than it does at Port Authority Bus Terminal, and at JFK it costs even $1 more than LAX
Makes you think

hyped for this!

big__flan @bigflan.bsky.social · Aug 13

I would say you can be just as copy over and lacking in stance in a mechanics driven game too, but the 1cm archetype of course is talking about a mechanics game that doesnt feel stale in that way

big__flan @bigflan.bsky.social · Aug 12

but as a primarily vibes based game creator I don’t mind this cultural moment too much. I do think people could bear to expand their idea of visual polish though

big__flan @bigflan.bsky.social · Aug 12

yeah, I mean it’s tough to compare viewfinder because they went pretty hard on both aesthetics and mechanics. I do feel like there must be games that are as clever as those games that just don’t have an artist working on them and get overlooked

big__flan @bigflan.bsky.social · Aug 12

yeah true it’s not really possible to be a 1cm game if you don’t pass the vibe check anymore. I wonder if braid would still be popular if it came out today
