can't wait to see the essay! it also feels like such clear consequence of how the platform monopoly has really screwed game creation.

game design is a spiritual thing and maybe we should all try less hard to quantify it into a science

The 'does not respect your time' thing is so relative because I feel like all those like super smooth high production games have absolutely no respect for my time, they just want to consume it and give me nothing back in return.

i generally think it's a good thing for a game to be book-like, in the sense that you can flip to any "page" (game state) relatively unimpeded, which i feel is a more radical position on difficulty than "dark souls should have easy mode"

If you are interested in a remake because you feel like it'd make doing homework easier, ask yourself instead why you're assigning yourself videogame homework? The only reason you should be assigning yourself homework is because you're some weird VG History sicko, in which case a remake ain't gonna cut it. Otherwise though, free yourself from this imaginary canon. No one is checking your gamer card to make sure you beat all the important games. There is too little time on this earth to play the cliffnotes version of a game out of some imaginary obligation.

a post from itch saying โ€œI don't see any indexing restrictions on your game. Your game does have a content warning because of this setting on your page though (check the "Metadata" tab). It's possible at some point you could have added a tag to your page that is commonly associated with explicit adult content.โ€

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.
journalists too...

I think thereโ€™s also a misunderstanding of itch as some big corporate platform like Steam or the App Store and not just like a website a few people have built and kept together for a decade so people can share their weird art.
