      I played Pokemon Red on an emulator on a night shift at work and it was a pretty awesome experience. I can’t imagine the idea of live service games existing. I think there’s something to be said about connectivity and discoverability but yeah man. Yeah.

        Pokemon games are amazing to do while working.

        It is one of the few games where you can literally pause at any second by tabbing away, since the game only progresses when receiving input.

      I just don’t understand how people can get so sucked into gacha games. All the art design, the game world, all the other stuff they try to use to camouflage the slot machine, none of that stuff works more than a few hours. Once you see the “seams” of the skinner box, once it becomes blindingly obvious there’s nothing to find at the “end” of chasing higher DPS or whatever, why do people continue? It loses any sense of fun the moment it happens.
