You make a fairer point than people realize. In 2023 we need less 'dog video game' disruption and more impact. Trying to commodify increasingly stupid things is a direct product of the startup culture this site (and Twitter + the community at-large) promotes.

This will look more embarassing than a professional history with fushigi balls if you put it on your resume. It doesn't matter if you're Joipaw-scale or DogTV.

Agreed. What we really need is a new payroll system with an API that uses GraphQL instead of Rest.

But seriously: niche products always look uninteresting and stupid to someone, and niche products trace all the way to folk crafts. cottage industries, and open air markets. Making video games for dogs is neither embarrassing nor a “product of startup culture”. It’s just something somebody thought was cool and put some time and money into. It’s great.

There's no "we". Different people need different things.
