i like to imagine that in-universe, the uncategorized microgames you can only play through shuffle mode are part of some "practice" thing for people getting into mindwave. like i'm imagining there's some small device you can plug into the neural port (whatever that is) that pits you against those microgames instead of connecting you to another person's mind and they're made for the sake of letting like, people who have never played mindwave ever in their life get a feel for how it feels to play it, with a bit less of the weird mental stuff involved than when playing against someone else. and then once they practice enough they move onto playing actual matches
