Four video games that changed my life
Wanderstop helped me understand that taking my time could help me love my hobbies again.
Sunset Overdrive helped me realise I'm non-binary.
Minecraft introduced me to my first D&D group.
Dark Cloud was the beginning of my love for fishing minigames.

I’m getting more and more of these too. It’s depressing.
I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

We're all above the "Are games art?" conversation around here but gosh. Unfair Flips. Inarguably art.
Unfair Flips defines itself, executes it perfectly, and causes such an *unbelievably strong reaction* from both those who get it and those who don't.
Ya simply must hand it to 'em.

Unfair Flips on Steam
A non-idle clicker game about flipping a coin that hates you. Starting with just a 20% chance of getting heads, can you get ten heads in a row?
