“on computer games” is a gaming blog that publishes analyses, musings, and essays on the highly subjective experience of computer games; presented in a style reminiscent of “very creative writing” and covering a range of topics such as philosophy, nostalgia, and tanuki lore.

We also publish a free online magazine. Links below.

Glad you asked!

On top of discussing any content @ oncomputer.games; the purpose of this community is to discuss anything about COMPUTER GAMES, with a slant toward the philosophical, conceptual, and creative; we do not care about your “score” for the new ____ game; we care about your unique experience while playing the new ___ game. We are also partial to sh!t posting if it is games-related.

Keep it copacetic and stay “on topic,” the topic being COMPUTER GAMES.

If you link to other publications, like: “check out this interesting review for ___ game at Kotaku!” we reserve the right to delete your post and ban you; posts should be fairly origin9al content, as much as human creation can be “original.”

*disclaimer: the term “computer games” in this context means literally any video game; “computer games” is what grandma says when she tells you to “stop playing those damn computer games and go outside!”
