  • Hype: The Time Quest, a 90s PC game by Playmobil that was a formative part of my childhood. Surprisingly dark story for baby’s first 3D action adventure game. Took quite a bit of work to get it running on Steam Deck, but I’m about 3/4 through it. Starting to lose my patience with the awful fucking tank controls, though. Tried to modernize them a little with Steam Input, but the platforming is killing me.

    I’m planning on checking out the Wario Land series myself soon. Recently got a cheap retro handheld and that’s on my list for sure.





  • The obvious answer would be Black & White and its sequel, which for many is the definitive god game. You’re an untouchable god interacting with your world and physically manipulating it with your hand, but you also have a giant animal familiar that you raise to also interact with the people. You create miracles and either help or terrorize the population into following you. Not much combat if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s a unique game that unfortunately has not seen a worthy successor in 20+ years.








  • Unless a game somehow really sucks me in these days, I tend not to engage much with the stories anymore. It’s not at the point where I’m skipping cutscenes regularly, yet. I tend to play games in slow, broken up sessions, so there’s a very good chance that I won’t remember what happened in the story the next time I hop back in. At that point, I just hope I can remember how to play the game.

    Just checked DMA Choice to confirm that I already paid to unsubscribe from junk mail like 3 years ago. Still get piles of unavoidable mailers every week. I asked my post office about it and they told me any mail that is addressed “Current Resident” or the like instead of my name legally has to get delivered. So yeah, it’s fucking useless.
