If you ask how to be cool you’ve already failed

LinksNate opens strong withCrab Fight, a game about crab’s fighting.
Big discussion of the relative coolness of stealth sims likeHitman,DishonoredandDeus Ex. There’s a bit of theBatman Arkhamgames in there, and evenShadow Of Mordoras well.
Is it cool to be just, like, a cool adventurer? Kratos inGod Of Waris pretty cool, as are the fabulous Drake brothers inUncharted.
Nate does actually find a way to talk aboutAge Of Empires II, which is fair, because he became pretty good at competetive play. Games likeFactorioallow you to master complexities as well.
What about well hard games? My favourite soulslike isBloodborne.
We talk about how it’s cool to be smart, but not cool to want people to think you’re smart.Genesis Noiris the former.
Recommendationsthis week are Jenny Nicholson’s almost four-hour video essay on sort-of-cancelled theme parkEvermore, and 80s window sales sitcomWhite Gold.
