i've said this before but i'm gonna say it again: it's *fascinating* watching the software industry rediscover why best practices exist in real time

I genuinely think the worst thing the internet did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport. You don't need to read 52 books a year. You just need to read. Books you like. At your own pace. And think about them for longer than a TikTok video.

WTF is with all the "Papers, Please, but without the dystopia" games? Like... the dystopia is the point. The surveillance state and all the horrible shit it forces upon you is THE POINT.

If you're playing a "Papers, Please" clone and it's in any way cheerful or cozy, you're basically playing fascist propaganda. Pressing a button to "send someone away" because of they failed a paperwork check should never feel fun or silly.

It should feel bad. Every time.
