Have you ever made a trivia show to lie to your friends? Have you done that AND made them hate you as much as @thegoldenbolt.net did, to get this reaction?
Play along and understand the pain we felt. Every question is...mostly right, find out what's wrong!

I often catch a lot of flak in the YouTube comments on how few games I've played when Jon and I discuss them. So I counted out of the 502 finalists, how many I've played.
Turns out: 289!
I'd call that pretty good!
But how about you? docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Truly feel we're INCHES away from the wider realization that "indie game" is a vibes-based term, which means Game Discourse is growing (a bit)!
Back when music genres like indie rock went from "independent of major publishers" to "sounds like those indie rock bands," people argued it for years too.
