CO-WORKER: So, what did you do this weekend? ME (THINKING): Well, I spent a large part of it obsessed with an indie game made by two guys from Finland that looks like a block pushing puzzle game on the surface but has a ton of secrets and a surprisingly moving plotline that made me cry several times but I can't describe any more without spoiling but is presented in a simple monochromatic 4-shade color palette and retro pixel art which made me wonder if I could hex edit the palette to resemble the 4-color CGA palette of computers from the early 1980's including the eye-melting bright cyan and magenta colors so I did some digging and some editing and it turns out you can edit the palette if you know how so I did and ran the whole thing through a CRT filter so it looks like it's displaying on a 40-year-old monitor, complete with glowing phosphors and it really feels like I discovered a game that wouldn't look out of place on my dad's old Tandy 1000 but it's made with modern gaming sensibilities and the music sounds like extremely well-produced MIDI files and the whole experience scratches a nostalgic itch that I didn't even know I had despite probably looking terrible to anyone who didn't grow up with those 1980's PC games and I was instantly transported back into my childhood playing ancient computer games in front of a warmly glowing friendly screen in our old basement with carpet salvaged from an old bank that smelled vaguely of hamster, only this game is deceptively complex and emotional and gorgeous and back then I couldn't even feel the feelings I feel now because of my transition and my God it was beautiful and the whole thing is about to make me cry again and oh hells he's looking at me and he wants an answer... ME (OUT LOUD): Oh, you know. Laundry, probably. ----- This is one of the few screenshots I could take without spoiling much but not just looking like a block-pushing puzzle. It's called Void Stranger; look it up on Steam!
