you’d have to have plaid the OG game from like the 90’s
It was a side scrolling puzzle game. you had a certain number of lemmings, most of whom you want to keep alive. they’d spawn on one side of the map, and you had to get as many as you could across the map and to the exit. You could assign tasks to specific lemmings like traffic direction to hold the swarm back, brick layers that make stairs up or down or over obstacles, or diggers to go straight down.
IIRC, the exit lead them to jumping off a cliff in mass suicide. Blame Disney for that one. (Also fuck them for throwing lemmings off a cliff using turntable because throwing them by hand wasn’t fast enough.) the game itself was fairly cheeky in it’s dark humor.

Well this bummed me out.

Oh yeah, I definitely loved the game back then. As an adult though, the context is kind of a bummer. (And what Disney did was downright villainous.)
I can see that.
Times and attitudes change; and we notice different things as adults.
