    “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” is stuck in my head. This is because Spotify basically (for me) exclusively plays sea shanties and/or video game songs trying to be sea shanties, covered by epic metal bands with operatic vocals, and this is a condition i greet with great enthusiasm

    In a similar vein, I've always wondered what happens if re-plug in an arcade cabinet in the Wreck-It-Ralph universe. Does it just create an entirely new set of those characters, since they die when the game gets unplugged, or does it just reload the world? What if they were outside the game?

    Man, thinking about Wreck-it-Ralph… Back then, I’d had an idea for a sequel where he’d meet a modern incarnation of the Wreck-it-Ralph character who WAS a good guy in his game, à la Donkey Kong. Shame they never made a sequel to that movie.

    "In a way, it feels like a precision strike on kids from typical East Asian households." Getting that kind of reviews for The Wreck leads me to believe the writing for this game works well (spoiler: my sister Coralie and I, the game's authors, grew up in France).

    Easily the highlight of this year's Day of the Devs for me. The Pixel Hunt has never been afraid to ask hard questions and let players stew in them for a while (see Bury Me, My Love, The Wreck and Wednesdays), and Ithaca looks like it could be their most urgent and charged game yet.

    There is a game event (Jonas the Wreck) that references a Space Federation "Galactic" to me implies that the army's jurisdiction already spans most of the galaxy, though I guess that could be aspirational. (If it's aspirational, *that* could certainly provide motivation for a standing army)

    The Wreck is a game about being a daughter, a sister, a mother. More than anything, The Wreck is a steamroller that doesn't bother with subtle subtext or great interactivity; just a big punch of rich writing and splendid acting in the service of topics* I've never seen in a video game before. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1687960/The_Wreck/ #TheWreck #Gaming (*be aware that the CW at the start of the game doesn't cover them all)
