I think she means things that are bad at being a specific kind of entertainment by whatever definitions you have of that form of media, but are still entertaining so you don't really call them bad.

Arguably walking simulators may fall into this category.

Yeah this is kinda getting at it.

Like I feel like there should be a term or something because they are a lot of times I will describe something as a bad tv show or movie but I don't think they are bad bad because that would make conversations easier.

Also it works on the flip side when someone is saying a thing is bad bad because because it fails the form but you think it succeeds outside of it.

I get it, but I feel like if you start talking like that about things not be "real" representations of that media then people are going to be very dismissive. Like definitions are evolving and if something is a type of that media and it is commercially successful while advertising itself as that (so people knew what they were getting into) then trying to say it doesn't fit some arbitrary definition starts to sound really snobby and is going to lead to a lot of eye rolling.

If someone wants to open a minigame (or if Retro Futurist wants to reopen his Temple game) now is the time, we have a bunch of new players from P/C who are excited to play more Mafia!

I was thinking of doing a mole madness game, a game about moles with rabies.

It would have a very simple set up.

Yeah, like the walking simulator example felt wrong to me because I see those as really changing the form of video games and broadening it.

So like then what's the difference between something failing form vs broadening it? That is where it starts getting complicated and I guess it's just a case by case thing.

Well before this recent craze the last time leggings were in was the 80s. So whenever this dies we will only have to wait 20-30 years for them to be back in style. Just in time to be horney grandpas
