It feels right, somehow, that the human body, a purely natural creation of the epochs, is maybe the most important single object to learn to draw.

"To play a match, you first need to pick who wins and who loses. Formerly, this was decided at the end of the match, but to avoid issues if the match is called due to rain or from everyone spontaneously forgetting the rules, it is now customary to do this first."

"Hm, finished the tutorial? Take a glance over here. Your eyes don't deceive: there are indeed two goal squares, and BOTH require a crate pushed on them! Alas, it pains me to reveal that here, in the real game, only a cruel, ceaseless vortex of anguish and despair awaits you!"

"They say human reflexes can't compete with cyber-defense anti-intruder constructs operating at the speed of bytes… what they don't realise is that shouting "PFWOOOSH" and waving your arms around while you break into a sprint is like a 2-second speed boost if you do it right."

Every card in a deck is so sure that they won't be the one to end up on the bottom once a shuffle begins - but every card still remembers that one distant, vexing moment that they found themselves between the table and the full weight of everyone else.

Violins are kind of like dogs and cats in that if you make them bigger and bigger they turn into similar-looking but different instruments.

Out of curiousity I searched "Metroidbrainia" on Bluesky and the most recent result was less than a day ago. So I guess that one's sticking around for at least a decade.

I used to think it was a bit strange for the caves in Donkey Kong Country to be palette-swapped into such divergent colours as brown, puce, purple and green, but now I'm realising that it's representative of tourist attraction lighting (source: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Yi...)

Titanium Court is definitely getting gassed-up to the stars and back, but the mass coyness toward describing its terrain-placement puzzle mechanics is giving me some pretty high expectations.
It's gonna be funny if I play it and it turns out to somehow just be Otostaz (2002).
