And every one feels like that for a different reason! Is this one going to knock away my armor, steal my most valuable items, confuse me, enrage me, or simply hit me so hard that I disassociate?
Great game, 10/10, Game of the Year every year lol.

Oh I would do unspeakable things to get tamales here but that would take more than a miracle 😂
I didn’t know how good I had it in California until I left.

Whole lot of folks showing their lack of film literacy in that thread. Whew.

Hitman. It’s incredibly satisfying to plan and execute the perfect assassination and it’s equally fun to watch it all go tits up and try to salvage something from the mess.
It also has some of the best incidental dialogue in the business.

My literature teacher drilled into us that you have to engage with what a piece of art *is* and not what you *want it to be*. It took me a long time to realize that she was right.

Yes, yes yes a thousand times yes. I have learned so much from people like you and Kimimi that's valuable even if I'll never be able to learn more than a smattering of survival Japanese.
Knowledge is good!

I wasn't surprised to see Plunkett's name on the article. He wrote something earlier this year about how there was no enthusiasm for the Switch 2's launch, a hilariously wrong opinion based on how well it's sold in the last six months. I've never seen him happy or positive about anything.

I've been so disappointed in Aftermath. They're consistently putting out the most cynical, jaded, knee-jerk raction articles on everything in the industry. I had really high hopes for them, too.

No. It's perfectly descriptive. Not everything needs to be important or useful. Just existing is fine.

Same to me. I've always taken it to mean messing around with something just to mess around with it. No goal, just doing something to do it.

I have high school students and I'm fighting a never-ending war against the AI. I keep explaining to them that it's easy to spot because it's "all surface, no depth." Shakespeare is the polar opposite and I'm a little jealous of how well you've used him to make the point. Kudos!

It’s something so many people fall into and I’m not sure why. It’s the first thing I teach my literature students and something I drill into them constantly. The work is what you’re engaging with, not your idea of what it should be. I expect at least that much from professionals.

I’m a complete novice in this genre but I had an incredible time with it. It’s one of the most ambitious things I’ve ever experienced. I got a little over 80 endings, I think, before I tapped out.
It’s high on my list of all time favorites.

Naoblocks are neat! They’re pretty popular here in China, too.

I had a ton of fun with Huntdown. It did a great job of thoughtfully keeping what made the classics so much fun.

I thought I was the only one. They put such care and effort into every aspect of the game except making it fun to play. I’m baffled that anyone could legitimately enjoy it.

I didn’t find out about the treasure chest messages until several hours in and you best believe I backtracked to read as many of them as I could.
Your small details in each of your games are what make them special.

Ninja Spirit is INCREDIBLE. 10/10 action and vibes.
My brother and I got so good at it that we could reach the final boss on 1 life.
Excellent pick!
