That makes sense to me.

Also, I wanted to say that I like how you used a Squeakross screenshot in your article. I really enjoyed that game myself, and it makes me happy to see that more people know about it.

Just a personal take, but I always assumed that hardcore was a player-specific term, rather than a game-specific term. I guess if games cater themselves to players with hardcore mindsets, then it could be called a hardcore game, though.

I was lucky and found the trash folder in Google Drive, and it was sitting there waiting to be restored. The day is saved!

I've heard this place is pretty intense! I'd love to go some day, even if I might regret it later!
