@Caelyn also I think british people fetishise authenticity? so maybe something that’s seen by british people as “a fast food derivative of a Texan derivative of a Mexican thing sold in Texas derived from an original authentic Mexican thing” isnt going to appeal too much

@popefucker yeah! whereas (with the exception of SOME) most tabletop games would never get to that stage because just working out how you're meant to proceed would be too confusing

i think the reason a lot of board games are good to think about as a creative medium is that they force the designer to do "impedance matching" between the complexity of what the player does and what the game does in response, by making the player perform the game's role too. it (mostly!) avoids that feeling of when you're playing some video game and something happens as a consequence of your actions and you just can't work out the mechanics of why

@irisjaycomics when i see a cover like this it just makes me feel really down? like, sad?? it just makes me feel like whatever they're doing musically they're trying to derive it from some kinda worn-out, overdone, dead era, whose proponents and fans are either dead, or those retired white guys sitting at an intersection blasting satellite radio outta their luxury suv
