But no, it's very specific and then kind of odd.

There's been a lot of criticism of this game.

People playing it being like, I was a teen girl in the 90s and I'm sorry, but like what?

They're listening to Rainbow, like Dio's band and talking about how cool it is.

Like this is not something my friends and I did.

But to me, that was actually a kind of a cool thing or funny thing about the game.

I didn't really mind.

I don't know.

It felt very specific to the people who made it.

The writer-director is a guy who goes by Johnny Galvatron.

I'm still not totally sure about his name situation.

He was the lead singer of an Australian band called the Galvatrons in the 2000s.

I believe that's his stage name.

The Galvatrons are named for like a Transformers character.

So I think it's not his real name, but maybe he like adopted his stage name.

Anyway, his name is Johnny Galvatron.

There's kind of all these layers of artifice around this game.

This is what I wrote about and how for a long time I was kind of...

just okay with that.

I was like, well, this game is kind of weird.
