I am so done with videogames being cute and 'meta' can we go back to videogames that aren't trying to be Clever

But if you're letting them be Meta to the point where you have variables in your save file in plain text let that be a anti-frustration thing instead of going Uh Oh! You've Sinned!

Also don't fucking make me input 150 times for brands at the start of runs did anyone who make this game talk to anyone who has hand strain like, ever
