NES My Life "Mundane everyday challenges (such as finding a job, dealing with ultra conservative relatives, or deleting unwanted dick pics on a dating site) envisioned as classic black box retro 8bit Nintendo games." [via mefi projects]

They are like neo-Wacky Packages (FPP is antique MeFi. Wayback for the Wacky Pack).

These are great. I think the wide range of colors makes the graphics look more 16-bit though.

a better version of the dating site one, after having a recent at-length conversation with a ladyfriend, would just be one where you have to use a smartphone without encountering a dick pic.

it would be like minesweeper, or operation.

in her experience at least, any medium of communication or even on which images are capable of being posted(or even text, because URLs) will result in dick pics. And this includes moderated sites/services where that's supposedly against the TOS.

basically, an interesting game, the only winning move is not to play.
