Yeah, this post shows a tragic lack of familiarity with the concept of zoomies.

Beyond parody (for nearly a decade at this point).

During lockdown I played ECHO, which had been in my backlog for a few years after a stray recommendation I saw on MetaFilter. It was a surprisingly tight integration of beautiful and intriguing environmental/UI/sound design, gorgeous music, compelling yet minimalist storytelling (and voice acting), and a really strong gameplay loop of stealth, puzzle-solving, and the occasional panicky run-and-gun. Imagine my surprise when I read up on it after and learned it only sold a few thousand copies!

I strongly recommend playing it blind, but this trailer gives a good overview of the style and mechanics.

One of the greatest games of all time from a design and gameplay perspective. There's a reason it's in the MoMA. The soundtrack is an all-timer as well.

It's also relatively new as a federal holiday, only added in 2021. Before that it was largely officially observed only in Texas and a handful of cities.

Engagement bait.

They should try to be funny/creative/clever, for one thing, and either using an existing format or creating a new one. This is literally just pictures and direct quotes from the Founders. Like the sidebar here says, "Random pictures do not qualify as memes."

This is not a meme.

Apparently in many developing world cities with shaky property records it's known for fraudsters to make fake real estate deals using buildings they don't own, to the point that in Google Street View it's common to see "this property is not for sale" or similar painted on house walls near the entrance. I've never seen it on a building this large though!

Fun fact: In French, ChatGPT sounds like chat, j’ai pété ("cat, I farted")

Some notes:

  • not very mobile friendly, but definitely worth checking out on a larger screen
  • you can right-click to flag squares with 1-10 (plus "X" for more powerful foes)
  • the book icon shows a live-updating list of undefeated monsters
  • if you're feeling frustrated, study the game board after a loss -- there are helpful patterns to glean
