[P] I sometimes introspect on gaming as it gives me a focus away from awfulness. So, videp games of the '90s and early '00s had a massive problem. It was a problem that was the lifeblood of the era. "What genre is this? How do we define this?" What I find disappointing about today's games is the homogeneity. I'll look at a game and I'll think "I've seen that before." This applies to indies, too. It's a contemporary affliction.

[P] What happened feels like the 1984 of games. If ideas and genres are stripped away bit-by-bit, younger gwnerations have no idea what they've been missing out on. If you were to deprive future generations of aught but plastic-wrapped, mass-produced croissants then it's easy for that generation to believe that this chewy, tough, stale croissant is the best humanity's ever made. This has happened to genres, and only a scant few remain.
