So Very Wrong About Games

#292: Arborea

80 min • 2 januari 2024

"This here's a jam for all the gamers

Tryin' to do what those rulebooks offer

Get shot down 'cause you're overzealous

Take too long, opponents get jealous

Ok, smarty, go to a party

Games are on the menu for everybody

You wanna play a game that's more complexer

But you're standin' on the wall like you was Poindexter


A game is laid out, one not played out

The options unfold and your mind just spins out

They say you should take your turn or get removed

So come on, gamer, and just bust a move"


-Young MC, noted foe of analysis paralysis
