Game Cocktails: The Final Strand Iโ€™ll say it. Quarantine. With so many of us hunkered down, relying on contactless deliveries, craving oxytocin and small talkโ€ฆ That one game kept cropping up in my head. DEATH STRANDINGโ€ฆ

NEED! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Iโ€™d made my own Death Stranding cocktail back in the pandemic times, btw: pikubytes.com/2020/04/21/g...

I resort to other game crafts as a creative outlet, e.g. mixing game cocktails, journaling on a niche element of narrative, and so on. Anything that lets me be me, and not necessarily has an audience ๐Ÿ˜…

Great read. Even if local LAN parties and dingy gaming cafes werenโ€™t welcoming to me (gurlz donโ€™t play lol, etc.), itโ€™s fascinating to reflect how the rampant piracy in the 90-00โ€™s here shaped gaming canons and the subsequent local gamedev industry.

Characterising by using distinctive dialogue fonts was one my favourite (not so) little design decisions in Pentiment, and how the font changed once you discovered the characterโ€™s true social class/group. So much potential in the genre still.
