"on computer games" is a gaming blog that publishes analyses, musings, and essays on the highly subjective experience of computer games; presented in a style reminiscent of "very creative writing" and covering a range of topics such as philosophy, nostalgia, and tanuki lore.

We also publish a free online magazine. Links below.


Glad you asked!

On top of discussing any content @ oncomputer.games; the purpose of this community is to discuss anything about COMPUTER GAMES, with a slant toward the philosophical, conceptual, and creative; we do not care about your "score" for the new ____ game; we care about your unique experience while playing the new ___ game. We are also partial to sh!t posting if it is games-related.


Keep it copacetic and stay "on topic," the topic being COMPUTER GAMES.

If you link to other publications, like: "check out this interesting review for ___ game at Kotaku!" we reserve the right to delete your post and ban you; posts should be fairly original content, as much as human creation can be "original."


Issue#1 - The Dragon Takes Flight



*disclaimer: the term "computer games" in this context means literally any video game; "computer games" is what grandma says when she tells you to "stop playing those damn computer games and go outside!"

an excellent analysis of the gameplay of Final Fantasy XVI (at home) and the plot compared to the 1957 movie "The Seventh Seal"

there's even a video! https://youtu.be/M48JK8R5dR4?si=BZq8FZkVrVTkTL6A

KEY EXCERPTS:

"In Final Fantasy XVI you press square four times, then triangle, then circle, then square. Occasionally you will hold R2 and press square or triangle. If you want to really have fun, you might throw in a L2 every once-in-a-while, to speed things along. It’s fine."

"Final Fantasy XVI is We Have Final Fantasy At Home."

"Both the world of Valisthea and Europe in The Seventh Seal, are worlds ravaged by affronts to their positive and their negative freedoms."

"To love something more than the reproduction is to create an opportunity for suffering. If one loves the reproduction more than their own desires then when their desires are consumed, they maintain the energy to reproduce.

And reproduction is quite fun."
