Yeah, this post shows a tragic lack of familiarity with the concept of zoomies.

Beyond parody (for nearly a decade at this point).

During lockdown I played ECHO, which had been in my backlog for a few years after a stray recommendation I saw on MetaFilter. It was a surprisingly tight integration of beautiful and intriguing environmental/UI/sound design, gorgeous music, compelling yet minimalist storytelling (and voice acting), and a really strong gameplay loop of stealth, puzzle-solving, and the occasional panicky run-and-gun. Imagine my surprise when I read up on it after and learned it only sold a few thousand copies!

I strongly recommend playing it blind, but this trailer gives a good overview of the style and mechanics.

One of the greatest games of all time from a design and gameplay perspective. There's a reason it's in the MoMA. The soundtrack is an all-timer as well.

It's also relatively new as a federal holiday, only added in 2021. Before that it was largely officially observed only in Texas and a handful of cities.

Engagement bait.

They should try to be funny/creative/clever, for one thing, and either using an existing format or creating a new one. This is literally just pictures and direct quotes from the Founders. Like the sidebar here says, "Random pictures do not qualify as memes."

This is not a meme.

  • you can right-click to flag squares with 1-10 (plus "X" for more powerful foes)
  • the book icon shows a live-updating list of undefeated monsters
  • if you're feeling frustrated, study the game board after a loss -- there are helpful patterns to glean
