Game to Discuss?
This week let's discuss Lethal Company. While no longer FOTM, it had a brief but strong period where it seemingly took over the internet (or at least my friend group). In it, you explore abandoned "Moons," searching for random garbage to sell to the eponymous company, while avoiding all sorts of horrifying creatures. Discuss below in the pinned comment.

Kingdom Hearts 1 on Proud. Just made it to Hollow Bastion, which is where shit gets real and you can pretend you're playing a serious game instead of just hanging out with Winnie the Pooh and Ariel (which is what the game's actually about).
Setting aside the later games' terrible writing, the original dynamic between Sora and Riku authentically captures what feels like as a child to be a friends with a boy a couple years older than you. Sora gets teased hard, and (from a child's perspective) borderline humiliated. The player gets to feel this themselves wrestling the stiff controls through the sparring and racing mini games while Riku talks shit. The game lets you lose over and over, you never have to win, and it keeps score. "Aw, man, now the score is 0-4..."
Despite the one-sided rivalry, Riku also represents maturity and greater knowledge, and you can see why Sora would hang out with him.
Then this dynamic gets stretched into the surreal as they get caught up in a world-hopping JRPG plot fighting over a macguffin called "the Keyblade." We see that Riku does value Sora's friendship, and feels hurt when Sora no longer needs him. And even as Sora watches his older friend turn to "the darkness" (smoking weed and ditching him to hang out with girls), Sora does still care about Riku, and ultimately builds to the power to save him, transcending the childlike rivalry. It's not exactly realistic, but it accurately captures some of the feelings of childhood that most adults have forgotten. This kind of charm is what KH1 really excels at.
This dynamic basically disappears after KH1 and you're left with an uncomplicated "we're friends because we're friends and we love each other and our hearts are connected" slop that governs the rest of the series.
