"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."

*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!"

any games you can't play around your loved ones? i've got one, it's pictured. i've been playing this as a "project" (lol) and the dissonance of "is someone going to walk in on me while something NOT-GOOD is on the screen?" is it's own game unto itself; like, "the wife is busy making dinner, i know she won't walk in for the next hour or so" and then there's the risk-taking of "yeah they could walk in at any minute"; this game defaults to windowed mode with a VERY OBVIOUS minimize button for a reason.
