It also means more people can play on more hardware, it typically focuses the experience, it makes the interactive elements more visually distinguishable from the background graphics, it's cheaper/faster to produce so less incentive to bloat with MTX to recoup massive investments, the scope is smaller so can be better aligned with a singular cohesive artistic vision, and the limited graphics encourages stylisation and artistic decisions when 'photo real' becomes not an option to target.

Also you don't need to wait 10+ years for a game, just to receive a bloated mess where you only engage with 20% of the content yet had to wait for 100% of the development time, since at that point the investment demands it has to appeal to every possible consumer, only to still get a buggy unfinished release due to the massive scope. /rant. Anyway, indies are great and i love short games too.

Including Oblivion. I enjoyed it but it was a huge disappointment to me coming out of Morrowind. Bethesda reputation for me has been on Morrowind credit this whole time.

This reminded me of the Jar Jar Binks is a Sith lord theory

With such good indies, i don't really need AAA. I prefer smaller, shorter, focused experiences anyway. AAA feels like a bloated predatory mess.

I didn't think it was possible to make Google Assistant worse at this point tbh... but I'm sure Google can prove me wrong.

Maybe they could switch things up and offer a single modern mini phone model, under 5".

YouTube recommended this video, and based on the thumbnail alone it looked like sensationalist garbage. I didn't watch it. I think it's because i watched a single video about "de-googling" and now the algorithm dives straight into the rage-bait deep-end of that topic.

Then it will go out of fashion again, and teeth will be the new tribal tattoo that people are stuck with, and the following generation will be all about smooth gums.

Imagine junkies of this drug would look like tarkatans.
