      Oh wow, now I want to make one of those physics gimmick games where you fire houses out of a trebuchet.

      With Octodad joke, are you implying that you didn’t see through the disguise? If so, I don’t think it fits with the rest and is confusing, tbh.

        Not so much that I didn’t see through the disguise, more that the running joke of the game is that nobody else sees it other than the chef.

          That’s what I meant, you’re making the joke from the perspective of a person that doesn’t realize there’s an octopus in the game, even though there is one.

          And the reason I said it’s confusing is because the game title is only perceived by the player of the game, and the player is explicitly told/shown that you’re playing as an octopus. So the perspective used in the joke is impossible, but I understand that I’m being pedantic, feel free to ignore my ramblings caused by the uncontrollable urge to point out the inconsistency.
