  • I disagree that bullet witch is more memorable than portal although bias and the fallacy of trying to remember unmemorable games is making it very hard to tell if that would still be true with other titles. My instinct is that uncommon, distinct words (Portal, Watchtower, Celeste) are more memorable than combinations of words that compete against each other rather than forming a whole (Bullet Witch, Star Fox, Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity). Although now that I do have examples… I have no idea, honestly it doesn’t seem super correlated.

  • “Writing code well” includes several relavant things:

    • Security implications
    • Stability and edge case handling
    • Performance
    • Quality of output (ie. for UI/UX)
    • Readability (Agents need to read to make changes too! Violating DRY/SOLID/etc. could still cause issues!)

    As far as I’m aware you do currently still need a human to ensure stuff like this is followed. People use agents because they don’t care about the above, or because they can get close enough and intervene to fix any issues that appear.

  • Minecraft - It’s Minecraft

    Factorio - Best factory game on the market and one of the best-designed pieces of software of all time

    Celeste - Most artistic game on this list and the skill ceiling basically doesn’t exist

    Team Fortress 2 - Still a contender for the best class-based shooter of all time, I love making loadouts and screwing around. Best shooter community I’ve experienced.

    Not really sure what to put for my 5th. Some sort of puzzle game? A coop friend game? idk.
