This idea that every story must fit into a cohesive continuity is creative poison.

I never thought about this but you're right...Keaton as Wonka would have gone hard, for instance

And as a player, I may think a game is "bad" when in fact the goals of the developer and my expectations just don't match.

But I also think "good"/"bad" here is a spectrum rather than a binary and exceptions to the rules always exist

Not a dev. I think "bad design" is anything that is counter to the overall design goals of the project. So, if you're designing a game that's about forward momentum, including elements that stop the player dead is "bad" design. If you're trying to make a relaxing game, a countdown is probs bad. etc

Saw Melt-Banana last year, utterly thrilling and ear-destroying. And they did a great cover of DEVO's "Uncontrollable Urge"

Fair!

I'm not a plumber either but isn't that fairly normal? Every sink I've ever seen has something like this

This is where they fell off, for me. But I begrudge nobody for enjoying it

I will tolerate a lot but disrespecting CDs is where I draw the line

doesn't take very much time to find gold in the VGHF digital archive

at some point in time, game magazines across the US were mailed a CD that has art of Cool Spot drawn as the dudes from Pulp Fiction

Nope. As somebody who still buys CDs, their packaging has become increasingly spartan. Often just a 4-panel cardboard sleeve with no liner notes and no booklet. It's a bummer 😞
