I think if someone went all out with making some sort of bizarre simulator game like this, people would play it. Like, don't even try to make it fun or add a story or anything, just make it as real as you can.
I don't think it's entirely the app. I've had it happen to my Lemmy.world account using Jerboa and Connect, so I think this must be them working on stuff after the hack.
I thought Lemmy would just take over my mobile usage, and I would still visit reddit on desktop. Turns out I'm just using Lemmy on both because the vibe here is more fun.
Great write up! I'm amazed that I've never played this game. Although the first consoles that I played were the NES and especially the SNES, so maybe I was born too late.
It somehow manages to be very orchestral and fanfare-y but also like a normal TV show introducing actors. I love that it feels like a celebration for all the awesome characters that we're about to watch.
I'm still trying to get the hang of it too. I thought I had, but this problem keeps me account hopping sometimes to double-check that my view is accurate.
Someone mentioned language settings, so I'm going to check that out next.
