  Oh that’s so kind of you to say! I have to say, I’ve been pretty down about it all, but writing this up made me so very happy. I really love Lemmy for how easy it is to share these long-form posts :)

  Happy to read this (the part about writing this making you happy I mean!!).

  Lemmy is great for sharing long posts, much like reddit was before the enshitification. It’s good to see long elaborated posts here among all the memes and other low effort content. And in the case of your posts, they are also a nice read in my mornings because of all the possitivity and joy you can feel when reading them. You really pour a lot of that in your posts and it feels!

  Sounds wonderful, I’m looking this up now! It sure sounds weird, but the longer the gaming industry runs and ruins great things, these odd little different ones just make me happy!

  I love “'weird” or unconventional games. And right now, it’s the indie world that provides these gems. In an industry that looks for the short-term profit like the “mainstream” videogame one, they rarely innovate anymore. They just pick a formula that works and copy it until they find a more profitable one, so innovation now happens mostly in the indie world, giving birth to games as odd as this one, a yo-yo player bat that goes around a city beating corpo suits to recover a monopoly! You won’t see EA making this kind of game, ever.
