Video games as a narrative vehicle have come a long way.
Go try ‘Detroit: Become Human’ or ‘Man of Medan’ or ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’. The stories in gaming are GD amazing.

I’m curious as to how the fundraising for Palestine actually benefits the situation. Is it even possible to get charitable donations in?
Mostly Neverwinter Nights.
We’ve had more active players on the server I DM for, so I’ve been popping in more often to run quests and ambience for all the newbies.
I loved the atmosphere and general gameplay, but HATED how they reused so many of the areas, some multiple times.
I hope we get another one someday, but with more work put into the level design.
Sorry for the double post, but I DID play something new this week: The demo for the Casting of Frank Stone.
LOVED IT.
It’s a narrative horror game and those tend to be out of my price range at the start, because I only buy a game if I get at least an hour of play time per dollar spent, but still, it’s spooky and fantastic.
Oddly enough. nothing.
I’m on vacation and I’m planning to start Zoria: Age of Shattering and to pick Solasta: Palace of Ice back up.
I’m in the mood for CRPG’s based on D&D.
Looks rad!
I think that trying to please everyone is generally a bad idea, especially when it comes to niche social justice issues and identity, because everyone thinks their personal rules are universal these days.
With that said, body type over gender is step in the right direction.
I LOVE stealth games.
Such great fun, even if a tad stressful to pull off at times.
Origins was my favorite entry in the series, personally.
I’m still playing Caveblazers. Can’t believe I’ve gotten almost 10 hours out of a game I got for 99 cents, but it’s fun.
I appreciate the offer.
I ran a dual boot Mint install on my main PC for two months and it was just too buggy. I had to switch back to full Windows, but I know it’s an issue with Nvidia and some distros have been Nvidia compatibility, so when I make the switch again I’m just going to use a different one.
Least favorite - Joycons. They make my hands ache, and I hate that to enjoy my switch I have to have a 3rd-party grip.
Favorite - my Lenovo legion laptop, which has given me for excellent years of service. I’m going to upgrade to a newer model later this year and keep this one, install Linux on it, and make it a Linux-only machine for better privacy in using the Web.
Is it truly open-world? You can just go anywhere?
I’ve been thinking of trying it out.
Paid a buck yesterday for this dinky, simple, but fun roguelike platformer called Caveblazers.
SUPER fun.
Only 99 cents.
I still play the original Castlevania games at least once a year.
I think they’re masterpieces, but there are so many incredible classics. I even recently found a site online where you can play the Commodore 64 Nightmare on Elm St.
Glorious.
I loved SoM.
This looks like fun!
Still trying out new games from the ‘Pixels with Porpoise’ pack I bought on Humble Bundle a week ago. (So far my faves are Children of Morta and Towerfall Ascension.) I highly recommend it if you like pixel-art based games and fantasy.
And lots of PinballFX.
FF6, or more recently, Battle Chasers: Nightwar
I like it old school.
I play a lot of Pinball FX and Pinball FX2. The only downer is that they’re huge downloads, even if you only own a few tables.
The original Resident Evil was pretty revolutionary and terrifying for me, but the 100% scariest I’ve played is the original Dead Space.
More recently, The Outlast Trials is really good, and I would HIGHLY recommend any of the Dark Pictures Anthology games, but my favorite is Man of Medan.
