Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

its a fine cowboy simulator. i'm fine with story-focused games. played kentucky route zero recently and it has literally NO gameplay at all, still a worthwhile game. i think that's what it boils down to, if you think of games as art meant to evoke atmospheric and emotional experiences.
about crunching in the videogame industry, yeah. we should probably be undertaking such huge projects in an open-source collaborative kind of way but i don't think society is ready for that just yet.
