yo is anyone else deeply unnerved by the increasing popularity of gambling-themed games in arcades? like they're moving away from shit like pinball and skiball and street fighter and galaga, and moving toward games that are 1.50-2.50 a pop to gamble. in arcades, in pizza places... it feels like, idk, like they're trying to groom kids to be gambling addicts. idk. it's been bothering me for years but it's been getting worse and worse.
[ID: A gifset containing four gifs of the anthology collection The Cartomancy Anthology. Several games in different artstyles and formats are featured.
Gif 1 shows two games. One shows two scenes from a colorful, top-down game as a character in yellow clothes walks across paths. There are many plants in the surrounding area and the player interacts with cubes to grow flowers. The second game shows a cooking interface as the player prepares a meal with the final result being a meat dish.
Gif 2 shows two games. Three scenes from a mixed-media game show a blue player against backgrounds collaged from what appears to be hand-drawn art and photos. The other game shows a dark room with blue lighting traveling through it. On the right is text saying, “there is nothing else / there is only me / and you are alone.”
Gif 3 shows two games. One features a grayescale scene of a white skeletal figure riding a white skeletal horse while holding a flag that flows in the air. The character rides through a raining forest of bare trees and a smoking battlefield. The second game shown is a platformer featuring a scarecrow-like character with a pumpkin for a head. The character skips across a wooden platform past a house as the game’s overlay on the bottom reads. “Parts: 1/4 | Lure: None” and “[E] Talk to Gramms.”
Gif 4 shows a text excerpt from an interactive text game. It reads: “This isn’t exactly my dream job, but I can handle it. It’s not like I haven’t done repair work before. There’s so much to learn though. I didn’t know how complex a clock tower could be, but its guts are a labyrinth of metal and steam. I have trouble following the mechanisms sometimes. They tell me just to focus on the immediate task, that trying to grasp too much at once will just overwhelm me.”

I downloaded Hello Kitty Island Adventure because it looked like a cute, fun, cozy, relaxing game that I could play. Turns out this game is actually super frustrating! 😤 All because of the stupid fishing!!!! I have been completely unable to progress past this point. It's so annoying. This game was supposed to be a stress reliever but instead it only brought stress. 😞
At least I could make a video out of it though lol 😭 Anyways, hope you enjoy!
