there a lot of valid reasons for a story to reference something else but a couple recent examples have irritated me by using a reference to just straight-up tell you what the thing is going to do or be about: the ricky jay poster in "wake up dead man" and the "left hand of darkness" ref in pluribus

played "year walk" via the simogo legacy collection. really enjoyed the general vibe but found some of the necessary inputs somewhat obtuse on a controller. not helped by guides not making sense because a bunch of content was changed or cut from earlier versions it seems

clearing out a bunch of old computers and hard drives at the moment; what does it mean if you plug in an external hard drive and it doesn't show up? not just doesn't mount, but doesn't show up in /dev

question for people who play games: was the witness ground breaking when it came out? hard for me to tell b/c I didn't play a lot of games at the time and picked it up due to a bunch of programmer friends being into it having now played a lot more games, the pedestal jblow's been put on is baffling

btw I hope the success of citizen sleeper gets more attention on gareth's earlier game "in other waters" which I think is a good example of breaking out of this pattern and not having the player be the main character of reality

the fact that it's so common for videogames to have the player identify with the protagonist, in fact making the protagonist an avatar for the player, really limits what they can do as a storytelling medium, and I really appreciate when games break out of that pattern

why is chrome's downloads UI so terrible. it's barely perceptible that it's even doing anything any more so you end up with 3 copies of the same file in ~/Downloads, which good luck knowing that's where your file is

cannot emphasize enough how much this stuff does not belong in a security critical application like a browser. putting intermediaries between the user and the websites they visit should get you classed as malware
