Blink-and-it’s-done sessions that stuck with me for years

If there’s a photo mode or a short post-game note, I use it; a single screenshot with a caption like “2 HP left, won anyway” becomes a memory anchor. Couch co-op works great in short form as well: one micro-goal each turn and trade the controller immediately, no “one more” exceptions. For ideas and examples I keep revisiting https://www.roger.com/articles/game/shortest-games-longest-memories/ because it nudged me to treat brevity as a feature, not a flaw. Since leaning into this, I remember where I was sitting, what the room smelled like, and what the last button press felt like—way more than with sprawling epics.
