Gamer Goes on Vacation Just to Pray They Don’t Pick Super Meat Boy 3D
KEY POINTS
- •A gamer on vacation in early 2026 debated playing Super Meat Boy 3D, Slay the Spire II, or People of Note.
- •They ultimately chose People of Note, a music-focused RPG developed by Annapurna Interactive and Iridium Studios.
- •In the game, they played as Cadence, an aspiring pop singer on a mission to outdo a popular boy band.
In a dazzling display of mid-life gaming crisis during an unspecified 2026 vacation, an anonymous player faced the Everest of all vacation choices: Super Meat Boy 3D's notorious difficulty, Slay the Spire II's eternal grind, or People of Note, a soothing music-focused RPG by Annapurna Interactive and Iridium Studios. Our brave gamer chose the melodious path and embodied Cadence, an aspiring pop superstar aiming at dethroning a boy band, perfectly capturing the classic underdog journey of 'beating a boy band to prove you’re worthy.' This week-long digital sojourn promised fun, relaxation, and less controller throwing. The ultimate irony: even escaping vacation stress involves battling intense digital bosses, just slightly quieter ones.
