I can't explain how we got here but we are imagining Vin Diesel in a new Pacific Rim movie and he raps in it

My rhymes are so sick they're acidic /
Chronicles so wild they are Riddick /
Kaiju they want me compliant /
Bitch I am the Iron Giant

I also love when sci-fi chooses really obviously bad chairs but I don't wanna spend time gathering examples so I'll just post the Orville DX Racer gamer shuttle

One of my favorite things in older/lower budget sci-fi shows is when you notice the spaceship set design ended at the barely disguised concrete soundstage floor

A friend asked me what I would buy if I won the lottery and I said the Nickelodeon Studios Orlando Slime Fountain. Now I can't stop thinking about it. I'd have it installed outside my apartment building, a green geyser erupting all over my neighbors' drying laundry on windy days

I support this! Lack of a good genre tag for Arcade Puzzle games hurts discoverability. I tagged Tetrachroma and some other games.
Let's start a campaign to add the tag "Arcade Puzzle" to games like Tetris, Lumines, Puyo Puyo, Petal Crash, etc on Steam. These games get lumped in with great but completely different genres of puzzle games like Portal and sadly sidelined. Steam users have the power to carve out this niche!

Anyway, we agree with @fluttersprite.itch.io, @mixolumia.com, and the other great arcade puzzle devs and players who have sounded out on this!
Perfect genre name. No notes!
