Video game thought 

There might be games I like more, but to me, Team Fortress 2 was the closest thing there is to objectively perfect game design.

Like, whatever it's like these days, I don't care, I'm not talking about health of the servers or bots or any maintainance.

I mean that there will never be another game that can do what it took to get me to immediately identify the myriad of implications of an engineer's robot hand.

Like, it blows my mind that they could come up with the idea and implementation of a demoknight. If you played the game for a year and only just saw your first instance of a demoknight without a shield, you could be like "what's this guy supposed to be like," while still immediately intuiting on some level that this person is trying to capitalize on keeping you at two very different distances.

Maybe there are lots of games that can do that, but never so much to a casual player
