what if…

if you enjoy seeing things,
if you enjoy going places,
if you enjoy meeting people,
if you enjoy doing things you never done before,
if you enjoy doing things you wouldn’t dare to do
if you see through things you DON’T wanna do, see, meet or encounter
if you just wanna feel free from your existence for a moment
if you wanna have short, bursty times spent with friends, or endless hours with strangers
if you wanna be a hedgehog, car, helicopter, F-117, Submarine, Coolspot, Spaceship, Alien, Dog, Dragon, Father, Traitor, Rambo, Polygon, Plumber or Knight
if you wanna have fun, as a girl,
if you love pressing buttons





… you could do worse, you know.

I bought A-Train PC Classic (uncomfortably expensively) to help me

understand the world differently

I couldn’t keep my trains on a circuit from crashing into each other (requiring complex timing and synchro programming) during the tutorial.

playing video games is one of the most pleasurable experiences for me

certainly beats working a job or whatever it is adults are supposed to do

Do you feel you’ve grown out of video games? Not in the sense that gaming itself you are tired of, but of the kind of games that are available on the market, and that they haven’t kept up with your personal development. What keeps getting made isn’t realizing the possibilities you’ve been dreaming of since you were a kid. Hardware is progressing far faster than game design, games just haven’t kept up with hardware advancements in areas other than graphics and production values. Game design is subordinated to Capital.

Like, you want more Deus Exes and Alpha Protocols but they Just Aren’t Getting Made.

A lot of the things I was dreaming of as a kid were dumb and a lot of them are actually being made this century, but I have “grown out” of video games insofar as my tastes have outpaced a world where I want open world MMOs.

People are making cool stuff all the time and with the amount of games being released every day, probably more good games get released every year than in the years when I fell in love with video games.

Looking back, it’s kind of shocking to see how utterly minor MMORPGs ended up becoming. At some point or another it must have been natural to think every game would become an MMO, the dream of the late nineties / early aughts, but there’s been relatively little progress or even interest there overall.
