[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] It has a coat of paint that mimics Spore while completely missing the point of Spore. If we look at the truly realised version of Spore, Galactic Adventures, it was a wildly ambitious mess. Cure a plague, make a planet into a cube and terraform it, attend a dinner party, go and sing a song to make friends, all as a bespoke species where every design was yours. It's depressingly reductive 5o boil it down to its combat.
