Haven't played it, but the sequel seems to be a general casualty of Square Enix not being able to find its ass with both hands in the 2010s.

What can I say, they all made me feel like I was exactly the target audience at the time they released, and nailed what they were doing.

Ultima VII: The Black Gate, Eye of the Beholder, Star Control 2, Braid, Dragon Age: Origins, Her Story, Legend of Grimrock, The Beginner's Guide, Telltale's The Walking Dead, Return of the Obra Dinn, Night in the Woods, Disco Elysium, The Roottrees Are Dead.

Can anyone explain to me why they always refer to Fraw Bow by her full name? At first I thought it was a bad sub of "Frau Bow", like she was a married German woman, but apparently not?

Pretty much everyone seemed to love it except those who have found nothing in the show to love, so I think it probably did fine.

I did not laugh a whole heap, but I want them to get another chance to make me.

I do wish that the musical numbers were... musical numbers, without comedy interruptions and abridgements.

"Thank you for giving us your son, that we might understand you..."

I would watch that film.

Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain.

Depends on how they handle it, but mostly I don't *want* TV on Letterboxd. Feels like it would dilute the experience.

Serializd isn't half as competent a site as Letterboxd, has a confusing interface, is missing most of the social features, and doesn't really let you *do* a lot with the data you enter, but whatever.

My one complaint relates to the characters talking to you over the radio - attempting to create a sense of urgency which is neither welcome nor true - when I just wanted them to shut up so I could play the damn game.
The voice actors are great, but honestly the game would be better silent.

(Spoiler-edge territory). That final mechanic was both more involved than I expected, and less. Finding the "best ending" (as far as the achievements know) only took a few guesses, but it felt like it wanted me to map out that space completely - which would have been tedious, given the interface.

It's important for two reasons: (1) it's rising higher than the people they'd traditionally preference in some electorates, meaning they actually get seats and (2) it influences the decisions Nats and Libs are making right now.

Thank you for the like @sallybeaumont.bsky.social, who was not only great as Olivia D'Arcy in Seance of Blake Manor, but who ALSO contributed so much of what made Old Skies special as the voice of Fia Quinn, one of my favourite characters of the last year! ❤️
(Play Old Skies, people, it's so good.)
