Lumines (2004)
(29h)
I still don't know if I like Lumines. Those shapes and patterns sure have a very addictive property but I don't really vibe with the music and especially not with those hard to read skins.
Haven't unlocked everything, but the VS CPU mode was crazy hard, and probably too random.

Every single person that says Geoff killed the game or that it's unethical or idk what else (this reminds me of the negative media literacy discourse around the release of The Beginner's Guide...) need to be taken off the internet and pass a reading exam to be allow back.

![“We’ve known Geoff for a long time, and he said, ‘let me do something,’ that’s maybe a little risky in hindsight—but different, [to] take a free to play PvP Raid Shooter and do something with it,” Grenier said. “So we rushed a trailer together. I wish the reception had been better, but in hindsight we made a trailer to entertain really quickly, and didn’t show the gameplay loop, and what’s different and unique.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zobrfle57a6tjeyn4naxwzgr/bafkreift25qxwslfzwra4ieufvwyomwjp4pxpberacnxtaiqldxdwc3trq@jpeg)

Just beat the original Lumines vs CPU mode (holy shit this was insane) and this reddit comment from 7 years ago is very reassuring.

And the way Alan says it just after is exactly what you'd want. But it's hard to not see a parallel between how puzzle games are treated overall and how Blow and The Witness were, for example. For most it's not about playing other great puzzles, it's just about dragging those ones down.

I've said it before but to me that's the most frustrating thing, when people say fuck Blow / The Witness / Sinking Star, it's usually by making him the only person involved in those games. They don't care about the team, they pretend to care, often because they already didn't like the games.

but optimising stuff is still great, and it feels different enough from their other games, with a different focus, that it still feels interesting.
I really like not having an output area or to care about looping.

It had some negative reviews complaining about the lack of complexity, but I think Kaizen still got it.

Look, I'm not that into achievement, but I definitely respect RetroAchievement actually waiting for the year to be over before sending their "year in review".

Le Cine2Nerdle Critical du jour, j'ai pas encore le film mais cette review dit vrai :'D

This has got to be the worst depiction of DNA Gel Electrophoresis I have ever seen in a movie.
Every step along the way is just wrong.
For starters, [CHARACTER] doesn't perform any PCR cycles, without cycles the PCR primers cannot attach to ssDNA and replicate the target regions, so the only thing the test would show you is that everyone has Chromosomes of various sizes.
Secondly, DNA Gel electrophoresis functions on the basis of using a flowing current to pull charged strands of dsDNA (produced by PCR amplification) through a gel matrix. The strands of amplified sample DNA are acted on by friction as they are pulled through the matrix, the shorter the strand, the faster they move through the gel. This means that over time we can see clean band arrangements form where DNA of the same length travels the same distance over the same time because they move at the same speed. Meaning two bands seperating then comming together or overtaking eachother is physically impossible.
Thirdly, [CHARACTER]'s Sterile technique is terrible, PCR is prepared in a cleanroom, in a controlled environment hood and he's not even changing his pipette tips, It's very likely any positive results he gets could be the result of cross contamination. Hell, the lines we see in the gel could be from Bacteria, DNA viruses, or even just airbourne particles from the weed packing process.
Sloppy technique.

Now, for the release of Echoes of the Eye, in 2021. By that point the game firmly established.

Since I keep using Outer Wilds as an example of games that got no attention at launch, here's a few fun numbers. Just know this drove me crazy at the time, and even more knowing what followed.
Annapurna posted a bunch of gameplay clips on twitter before launch (last one for comparison)
