  I was thinking Vice City, no vices?? But I think I get what sort of vice you mean now

      Right, but that is a vise, not a vice.

        Depends on if you’re using British or American English

  I have to challenge the octodad one: He has a wife and children obviously he isn’t single !

  Oh wow, now I want to make one of those physics gimmick games where you fire houses out of a trebuchet.

      I feel like I have enough of a skillset and experience that with a solid free month I could make a terrible iteration of this.

      Now all I need is the month.

    Because of the use of the superior siege engine, I thoroughly approve.

  With Octodad joke, are you implying that you didn’t see through the disguise? If so, I don’t think it fits with the rest and is confusing, tbh.

    Not so much that I didn’t see through the disguise, more that the running joke of the game is that nobody else sees it other than the chef.

      That’s what I meant, you’re making the joke from the perspective of a person that doesn’t realize there’s an octopus in the game, even though there is one.

      And the reason I said it’s confusing is because the game title is only perceived by the player of the game, and the player is explicitly told/shown that you’re playing as an octopus. So the perspective used in the joke is impossible, but I understand that I’m being pedantic, feel free to ignore my ramblings caused by the uncontrollable urge to point out the inconsistency.

        Everyone in that game can see he’s an octopus, to the point you could argue it’s also explicitly shown to them (he literally has an octopus head and tentacles in full visibility, and can’t even speak English) and one character besides the chef is confused upon finding out no one else realised.

        I think you’d have a hard time making an argument it’s hidden from any in game character any better than the player.

      What, you don’t find it fun to understand humor more in-depth by overanalyzing to death the aspects of a joke?! What a weirdo…
