I made a thread about Gemini a few months ago that had a mild amount of discussion. It's on a defunct instance, though, so who knows if anyone else can access the link.

Moss: Book II

[–] silverchase@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

The game says it uses the modern SRS rotation system. But pieces spawn in odd orientations, like the letters they’re named after. Wall kicks are inconsistent. The configuration files literally include a “–99, –99” coordinate—developer shorthand for “don’t use this”—as an actual kick entry. It shipped like that.

I love people getting deep into the mechanics of a game to optimize their play, the kind of stuff that casual observers don't notice.

I tried this during the most recent Next Fest. The premise and presentation interested me, but I found the gameplay lacking.

Redheads, women, and priests? Sounds like a setup for a bar joke

There's already a term for progress gated by knowledge: mystery. All of these games are about discovering facts that lead you further along.

 

UuU!
