This week, Andrew, Dylan and Aubrey discuss the topic of video game genres. The conversation explores some of the faults in how we as a community choose to define games. It also covers some potential solutions and advice for people who take these categories too seriously.
In a crazy turn of events, Aubrey prepared a closing trivia game for Andrew and Dylan to compete in. She based it off of the topic of the episode by having the competitors guess games based on their genre tags on Steam. It was a ton of fun and you don't want to miss it!

Super interesting regarding the term “Indie” - because 2D pixel art is such a smart choice for smaller / solo development teams, the term has eventually become so synonymous with the gameplay & art style that I wonder if the Dave the diver is proof of the definition having been adopted by most as loose genre slang for “looks like stardew valley”, heh.

I think this is a great point and I think what Andrew was getting at. Slang is a perfect way to describe it. Genres seem to have shifted more and more into slang to describe a couple of features, like art style or dropping your currency when you die and having to go retrieve it. And that makes it a bit jumbled and confusing when discussing games using genres because it feels like everyone is working off of slightly different definitions.

I haven't watched the episode yet but in regards to this I listen to another podcast (Game & Gig) and they've made an indie rubric that might be worth a shot (it's in their discord though not on their channel to my knowledge)
