i've been thinking a lot about "elegant" mechanics in games recently. by "elegant" i mean, essentially, "a multipurpose tool" or "an answer that supports two questions".
an example of this is the Portal gun - it can be used for transporting items, but also clever movement, and eventually "combat"

yesterday we put two and two together and realized that the doctor who came up to lecture me on Bossgame being "too gay" is one of the most (in)famous trans healthcare specialists in the U.S.
