Minesweeper

Well, they didn't have them online when I was a kid.

They were still, I mean, literally Minesweeper.

I love Minesweeper,

too.

I could

fuck up some Minesweeper.

It was a great game.

Yeah.

It was his favorite video game of all time.

I played Minesweeper.

That was like one of the first games I ever played.

Yeah, it was

Yeah, that's a good text.

That's a good text, Dex.

Pix text, and it says, Dusty, I never knew what the numbers meant in Minesweeper until you just said it.

Nobody still does.

And I watched one just yesterday or two days ago.

And he was programming something to play Minesweeper and win.

And the way he initially programmed it was he just had the mouse click randomly randomly.

over and over again.

And whenever he would die, it would just restart.

And he was able to win games of Minesweeper by doing that.

And then all he did was, after going through that, now it took an extremely long, it took a huge number of plays to finally win, but it is possible.

And so then what he did was, he just inserted a very rudimentary extra bit of information in there or in other words a selective process and it was just if you see these numbers around where you click then you just programmed a very simple way to try to increase the odds of winning

Good.

So what do you do? Hey, Minesweeper.

[laughs] That's by the way, just check, whenever I feel like I'm losing an argument, I go build a quantum simulator.

[laughs] It's the obvious response.

Right.

So- So go on.

Let's, let's, show us ... quantum simulator to solve Minesweeper.

So everybody knows Mi-...

No, very cool.

Uh, I played very recently, uh, like, a little b- you know, web game, uh, that was Minesweeper.

But someone's talking in your ear while you're playing Minesweeper like you're in GTA.

Oh my God.

And but then as soon as you, like, sweep the mines and you finish, then this voice goes down and goes, "Oh, thanks so much.

Oh, I should be looking for that file.

Oh, oh, look at the Minesweeper.

They got the, I remember playing that on the way.

Is this, you got Windows 95? Is this up from 3.1?

Sir, it's 2026.

I

just love that Minesweeper.

You got Galactic Pinball too? Again, right or left click? When you have the things delivered to you that many times and you're just like, we didn't get it.

Overall, the community felt let down, noting that the demise of Deno meant fewer options for open-source runtimes and increased reliance on corporate-controlled solutions.

Triple-A Minesweeper.

Minesweeper.michaelakur.com.

The post is a parody of modern Triple-A video games using a Minesweeper-themed game that exaggerates common game tropes like long load screens, unskippable logos, excessive dialogue, and microtransactions.

It humorously depicts a game with over-the-top production elements, voiceovers, and fake achievements, all while highlighting how Triple-A games often prioritize spectacle over gameplay.

The project mockingly suggests that even a simple game like Minesweeper can be transformed into a cinematic experience filled with absurdity.

In the comments, the community mostly found the parody hilarious, praising its accuracy and creativity.

Many appreciated the satire on unnecessary game fatigue, such as long load times, forced tutorials, and pervasive marketing.
