the only documented case of a living organism enjoying a videogame is an elderly border collie from Scotland named Cody, who is a tetris grandmaster

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

I know this is supposed to be a bad thing but new/unique genre fusions tend to rule actually imo

Nintendo and Gust keep returning my letters asking for Atelier Emblem unopened though

Actually I want this enough that I'm gonna describe what exactly I want about it and see if that is a thing that exists

Basically, what I want is a game that has extensive preparation before you go into battle. Where at least 50% of the game is spent getting ready for the actual win-or-lose part of the game. Ideally, it'd be a fun puzzle, but instead of being a puzzle with A Solution, you just sorta work towards doing the best you can with what you have--you can settle for a 50% solution or stretch yourself and get a 75% solution or a 90% solution, and then you go out into battle and test whether you you did the thing well enough. So far that's just describing Atelier, but what I want is that but hard, instead of easy. And with a battle system complex enough you have to intelligently use the stuff you did in your battle prep instead of just mashing X now that you're Strong Enough

Does that exist?

e: the Emblem part is just that I like SRPGs and it'd be cool if that was the battle system

The cartoon featured a young boy beating a monkey round the head with a claw hammer. Tim Ponting described it as the "lowest point" of his stewardship of the magazine.
