agghhh. I cut a lie bump off the side of my tongue because it hurt, and it didn’t fix it. It just bled a little and now my tongue hurts where the hole is. I CAN’T WIN.
I’ve been playing Putt-Putt games for the last few days because Humongous had a sale and I was stoked to play games from my childhood again. I played Putt-Putt Joins The Parade and Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo, and there aren’t any people in those games, so I just assumed this was a world like Cars where people just didn’t exist. There were monkeys and talking animals, so there were clearly cognizant primates, but whatever, I’m willing to accept that maybe humans just aren’t there. They’re just cars, right?
WRONG. I just finished playing Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, and the moon rover you save says that HUMAN ASTRONAUTS took him to the moon and left him there. So not only does this game canonically take place after 1969 and the Apollo 11 mission, but this means there were humans here recently enough to leave a rover that’s still “alive.”
I suppose technically the cars could’ve created the United States and named the continents and even found the constellations, but they legitimately showed us a flashback of humans driving Rover.
So that gives me the question, where are the humans now? Did we all die out and leave the cars behind, do cars have a segregated set of cities and towns and livelihoods separate from humans? They can’t be living a “secret life” amongst humans because Putt-Putt lives in Cartown. It’s a town made of/named after/populated entirely by cars. Cars that have houses and own pets. They don’t coexist with humans.
I know when you play Fatty Bear’s Birthday Surprise you can look in the telescope in the tree house and see Putt-Putt on the moon, so maybe the cars just have their own places to live. The family in Fatty Bear doesn’t have a sentient car, so my guess is that sentient cars are sent away to live among their own kind while the rest of civilization, humanity, lives separate from them with our non-sentient automobiles.
So now the question is why there are sentient, living cars in the world of Putt-Putt. I’m gonna play Putt-Putt Travels Through Time and hopefully some questions will be answered. Stay tuned.
Am currently in the middle of Putt-Putt Travels Through Time, and I’ve seen a prehistoric sentient wheel, a carriage, a wagon, a Conestoga wagon, and a train, but apparently a mine cart does not get the gift of sentience (or it’s dead and it just lost its face but that’s terrifying. That would imply all dead cars/vehicles just turn into non-sentient versions of the existing sentient ones and that the human-populated world beyond Putt-Putt’s scope is just a car graveyard.)
Okay wait

Good!! something about the tongue is… offputting, I can’t place it, but overall, I like him! A sleek and shiny boy with a kind face. 8/10 I’d boop
Google
I wouldn’t call it bad, but I wouldn’t call it good either. once again Google’s shading disappoints me, and those eyes just… scare me. Why is he looking at me like that? 5/10, could be better, could be worse
Microsoft
It’s… not terrible! I usually bash Microsoft emoji’s for their borders and weird blockiness but the simplicity of this is nice! He looks like he’s ready to give me a friendly lick. Seems to be floating though, so I have to knock off a point for that. 7/10, you win this time
Samsung
I LOVE HIM!!! Cute, bouncy, nice, and the spots and the yellow belly is some awesome detail! There are some highlights that are weird, but I’ll overlook them because this snake is my friend 10/10, sweet boy
WhatsApp
I appreciate the differentiation of having him slithering around rather than coiled up like most, the shading adds a touch of realism and he doesn’t look like he’d bite me. Not much I can say about this one, really, but I like him. 6/10
Twitter
Can… can snakes even do that with their bodies? I’m not sure but… it seems weird. If I look at it the right way his tongue kind of looks like a duck beak but otherwise looks glued to his face. 3/10, I don’t hate it.
Facebook
I think this one is the only one with a visible mouth, so I’ll give points to that cause he looks like he’s smiling at me! The faded color is an interesting choice and I like the subtle spots. Very flexible looking. 10/10, a friend
EmojiOne
Something about the perspective throws me off and that gradient shading is just… misplaced. The simplistic style is cute, though, so I’ll give it that. Kind of looks like he’s staring off into space. 5/10, I don’t know how to feel
emojidex
NonononononNO. All the other snakes are friends but this one is scary!! He looks like he’s going to eat me! I mean, I appreciate the different approach but I just… can’t get over that evil look in his eyes. I don’t trust him. 1/10, I’m scared
Messenger
I like messenger usually but… this snake looks plastic and lifeless. He’s staring into my soul begging for me to free him. 3/10, help him.
LG
Cute! But the gradient shading is a little wacky and the tongue… what is even happening there? He’s cute, and I’ll give points for effort, but it could be better. 6.5/10
*checks clock* how many more of these are left?
HTC
Uh… not great. Seems stiff and boring. Not a lot of effort going on here, is there? And the tongue… god, the tongue… 2/10, I’m TIRED
Mozilla
Oh, here’s a smiling one! He looks nice and bendy and the fangs are a nice touch (I don’t think snakes do that though, do they?). This is a snake that’s slithering up to say hello! 7/10, I’d befriend
SoftBank
(I don’t know what that is, but it was on Emojipedia, so…)
A baby boy! A cute boy! A wonderful smiling friend! Unfortunately, the border is just… ech. But I love him! A good one to end with! 9/10, I wanna hug him
