  It&apos;s still strange seeing him actually animating instead of dragging stuff around and it&apos;s hilarious

  As shammy once said “a 5 hour game worth playing twice is always better than a 10 hour game barely worth playing once”

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYbotClXe_c&amp;t=256">4:16</a> Ah Halo 1, 2, 3, and Reach. How we miss the way you blew our minds every 3 minutes or so after entertaining is for a flawless 30 seconds of fun on a tireless loop of quality. I just wish modern games could get the 30 seconds of fun down, let alone the 3 minute mind blowing event schedule.

  And that&apos;s why indies are thriving. Not too short to be forgotten, not too long to be of a nuisance.

  This has got to be one of the biggest contributors to the rise of indie games, they&apos;re fun and quick and dont have much filler

  This is how I felt about Cult of the Lamb. Super polished, super short, almost no replayability. When it was over, I felt disappointed that “that was it”, but in hindsight it was one of the more enjoyable playing experiences I’ve had

  This is why I play a lot of indie games. They don&apos;t demand more than a few hours of my time and that&apos;s all I got

  This feels like if you took the past 10 extra punctuation episodes of Yahtzee calmly taking about the failures of live services and condensed it into the pure rage underlying everything
