"on computer games" is a gaming blog that publishes analyses, musings, and essays on the highly subjective experience of computer games; presented in a style reminiscent of "very creative writing" and covering a range of topics such as philosophy, nostalgia, and tanuki lore.
We also publish a free online magazine. Links below.
Glad you asked!
On top of discussing any content @ oncomputer.games; the purpose of this community is to discuss anything about COMPUTER GAMES, with a slant toward the philosophical, conceptual, and creative; we do not care about your "score" for the new ____ game; we care about your unique experience while playing the new ___ game. We are also partial to sh!t posting if it is games-related.
Keep it copacetic and stay "on topic," the topic being COMPUTER GAMES.
If you link to other publications, like: "check out this interesting review for ___ game at Kotaku!" we reserve the right to delete your post and ban you; posts should be fairly original material, as much as human creation can be "original."
*disclaimer: the term "computer games" in this context means literally any video game; "computer games" is what grandma says when she tells you to "stop playing those damn computer games and go outside!"
I'm not following the hate train on mobile games. I don't get it: with games like Honky Star Rail and Pokemon GO, which people obviously love and spend money playing, it doesn't make sense. If the objective measure is financial success or just popularity, phone games win; if you disagree that these are the measures of a good game, tell that to the industry because they don't care about your subjectivity.
Is this just a case of old gamers being jealous and gate keeping their time-waster hobbies?
