(Whenever I see it I suspect the actual complaint is that it's excessive, or overly blunt.)

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment.

Horses' only sin is that its broad themes don't entirely pay off its loaded imagery. Otherwise, it's an effectively uncomfortable games that turns life's mundane humiliations into surreal horror. If anything, its bans fill in its thematic gaps for it. My review. www.polygon.com/horses-banne...

Normally Horses wouldn't really appeal to me (I am not a big Haneke fan - if that makes sense) but you'd better believe I'll throw 8 bucks to the "let videogames be freaky art" cause.

If I was offering a friend a room in a fucked economy, and that friend mentioned that they had just been offered a place they quite liked, I would be so sure of the rent I quoted them. Just, so completely utterly sure. Maybe even 100% sure. Yup, I really think I would go that far.

Look there's a reason why I have a series of photos of abandoned scooter helmets and it's not because this law is widely obeyed or commonly enforced.
England captain Ben Stokes and several teammates have been spotted in Brisbane riding e-scooters without helmets ahead of the second Ashes Test.
