I feel like I haven't picked up any interesting games in a while. If you're reading this and you have a moment to spare, please recommend a fucked up tabletop RPG that has fewer than ten ratings on itch io at the time of this posting.

Thanks for summarizing these thoughts. I miss studying history. It was fun to get up every day for years and just study, see where the connections led you.
and that's what studying history is all about, really. recognizing that everything is connected and interlocking and everything effects everything else and if you want to really actually prevent the worst of it from happening again, you can't just look at it from one angle. it's everything
With Hollow Knight, it really does feel like I have done all I can in this game. This is my skill ceiling.
And that makes me sad. Because I love the story and I love the world and I want to see all of it.
What I like about Elden Ring is given enough time I can level up, bit by bit increasing my damage, and eventually I will hit just a little bit harder than my last attempt.
So I started Silksong.
Made me want to go back and 100% Hollow Knight.
Nope. Still can't beat Trial of the Fool.
I love how everyone wants in on this list. Maybe we need to start our own
Goddamn I fucking love Disco Elysium
That actually sounds kind of awesome if you can clear the whole afternoon for it
fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM
I have found Lure to be a good family game. Kids or grandparents find it accessible and enjoy the theme.
Better: the menstrual products will be free, and in all bathrooms.
We can have both!

Do you see my vision?
I feel like we've reached a point where "that's AI" or "chatGPT wrote this" has become shorthand for "I don't like this / I want to discredit you" and it doesn't even have to make sense.
It reminds me of how "gay" was used as a perjorative throughout the 2000s
This looks rad.
As a teenage dweeb who used to play the Trombone and wasn't great at music, I can wholeheartedly tell you the best thing about the Trombone is how easy it is to be funny with it.
Say a restaurant gets a bad review for the decor or the music.
That means the food was good.
The more people complain about the ambience, the louder you can hear that the majority of people thought the food was decent.
Its the negative space you have to read to get to the community sentiment.
This touches on something that would come up a lot in community management.
Social media is driven by complaints instead of cheering successes. I would have to push back so hard against executives who were fixated on minor quibbles, by trying to explain you have to listen for the silence.
How does a card reading in a video game compare to the real deal? Zack Wood examines The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, finding the game successfully invokes "sense of wonder and imagination that makes divination fun".

It feels so good to work on games but I have so much cleaning I need to do and the happy productivity chemicals need to stay around longer than a clean kitchen does
This sounds like an incredible pairing
EGG HEAD - “HARD CORE!” A witless, victorious smile adorns his face. “HARD CORE TO THE MEGA!”
I am a little disappointed I could only name 17 off the top of my head
I like saying Pachycephalosaurus because I went to the effort of memorizing the pronunciation
I absolutely came right to the comments to look for people angry about the Pterodactyl thing.
Wait my recession indicator is more specific: 2-3 years ago several cars would do donuts in the junction in front of my house, multiple times a week.
Then it was one car, once a week.
I haven't seen anyone do a donut in front of my house in a year.
The Sideshows are too expensive on tires 🤣
I feel like in the past 6 months alone, Stop signs have become a suggestion
