@cikame: You're missing the point, entirely, and it almost seems intentional now. It's not about your experience, which is irrelevant. It's about the experiences of women. They almost universally, 100...

@cikame: I don't want to come off too strong, but this is a pretty tone-deaf thing to say. Every woman I've spoken to has multiple stories of harassment and sexism in online games. When you say "I hav...

There's nothing wrong with no-win situations. Star Trek taught us that decades ago. 😂 It sucks when that happens and I sympathize with you, but I think that's just the nature of the beast. RNG is a ca...

Good writeup! The only game on this list that I've played is Tears of the Kingdom, and I agree with everything you say about it. It's a phenomenal achievement that deserves all the accolades it gets ...

Why do you all put spoiler tags on things that aren't spoilers? It's extremely weird.On topic, there's an unspoken contract between every piece of art and the person who views it. The artist promises...

I think it's an amazing system that does exactly what it needs to do and excels at it.I started playing games in the Atari 2600 era, and this is my favorite console of all time. It's not even close. I...

I rarely play anything but normal/default. I'm long past the time when I cared about being hardcore about difficulty. I'm in this for fun, not frustration. Besides, almost no game gets more creative w...

Stellaris and Rimworld are always on my Macbook even if I don't have the time to play them much any more. I have so many wonderful memories of playthroughs that deleting them seems like killing a par...

I've been kind of obsessed with Dunidle, a dungeon crawling idle game with item and skill management and a ton of systems. The developer is active on his discord and responsive to bug reports and othe...

I've been playing around with a move deck that's surprisingly flexible and has gotten me from rank 10 to rank 37 in the last couple of days:Iron Fist, Nightcrawler, Forge, Kraven, Multiple Man, Cloak...

Mad Max: Fury Road is the platonic ideal of an action movie and I could watch it on a loop forever and never get bored.Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse surprises me with something new every time I s...

Arknights. It's the only game on my phone any more, and I still play it daily. Fantastic art, an incredible amount of story and lore, and very free to play friendly. It's tower defense but your towers...

@atheistpreacher: a Persona 3 re-release or remaster is on my wish list, too. It has my favorite setting of the series and a legitimately great ending.

The Shin Megami Tensei/Persona games are my favorite ones to break. It's possible to create some absurdly powerful demons/personas through fusion, although that's usually a late-game activity. Early o...

A lot of what I'm going to say is basic literary theory, but I think it's important that people understand what makes a good story. It isn't complex philosophical themes or convoluted plotlines. Good ...
