Immediately thought about Elden Ring. Margit is a teaching tool. Turn around and see how far your resources and strength can carry you elsewhere. Hours later upon return, an impossible task becomes a milestone of progress.
Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.
Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.
An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.
We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

My account is basically a WeRateDogs RT account now but dogs really are just the best.
This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

This is Tucker. He was offered a tortilla but told to take it gently, and no one has ever understood the assignment better. 13/10 (TT: tucker_thegentleman)

It's not perfect - I have quibbles over some of the mandatory combat sequences - but Silent Hill F is a gut-wrenching work of art. Rolled credits today, but so eager to dive back in and dig deeper into this tragic expression of anti-patriarchal horror.

Whether you're an AI optimist or a doomer, we have to acknowledge the obscene and wildly expanding power cost of AI data centers. Within a decade, wealthy companies will be operating dense supercomputer facilities that consume more energy in a year than entire countries.
