Lizard is apparently the second best NES game of all time...? At least, according to GameFAQs.

“Numbers as realities misbehave. However, there is an ancient and innate sense in people that numbers ought not to misbehave. There is something clean and put in the abstract notion of number, removed from counting beads, dialects, or clouds; and there ought to be a way of talking about numbers without always having the silliness of reality come in and intrude”

@Soreth Happy hatching-day, and happy Solstice!
re: a sudden thought (spoilers for 2012 videogame FTL: Faster than Light)
@packbat This reminds me of the game "Tonight We Riot" (it's in the itch BLM bundle!) which has a great concept and fun gameplay (but horrible sound mixing).
In it, the player controls one person in a group of rioting protestors. More folks join along the way, but the cops are out in force so it's practically guaranteed some won't make it.
If/when the "lead" dies, another one of the group is randomly assigned and the player keeps on going. As long as one remains, the mission continues.
I figure FTL is like that, and I kinda love it as a change of pace from the usual "chosen one" single hero narrative most games have. And it's not that just anyone could fill the role, but there are plenty of folks who can step into it when needed.
re: therapy, forms, literal-mindedness
@packbat I've grumbled about this so many times to basically anyone who'll listen. Every week, I have to fill out three different questionnaires (QIDS SR-16, PHQ-9, GAD-7) spanning two double-sided pages:
This leads to chronic underreporting, even though the tests themselves add a little more to my anxiety. I'm sure these numbers are doing somebody some good, though....

@kelseyhusky Can't show because of lack of sufficient means of communication (can't draw or describe it) or because it's too personal or secret?
