Tell Me Why was a pretty cool game by DONTNOD with a name so unfortunate and dumb I can't can't believe they didn't realize it at the time.

No one knows this game exists even when it's been offered (twice) for free on Pride Month (last year's and this one's) because as soon as you try to consider its existence, the loving lyrics come to your mind and you mutter "ain't nothing but a heartache" under your breath. And before you know it, you are thinking how did the rest of the song go? Desire? My fire? Want it what way?

And what were we even talking about? Oh, right music from the 90's, why would you even be talking about videogames.

i have refused to look anything up and have not figured it out yet.

the dragon i have been chasing my whole life, video game wise, is trading nes carts at lunch and having the game, but no manual, and attempting to figure out controls and mechanics through gameplay.

there is something so satisfying to me about learning a games systems and even though wario ware is kind of this i wish there was a game that could capture that feeling for longer than 4 seconds at a time. elden ring is pretty much what i wanted i guess?

i like those giant boardgames that have 10000 pieces and take 8 hours to play. i never know what they're called, every now and then a friend gets in touch and says "i got that new game that has 10000 pieces and takes 8 hours to play, would you like to come round and play it" and i'm like "gently caress yeah sign me up, is it about wheat or is it about spaceships? actually i don't care"

are we talking about the little Deaths or the big Death at the end because one of these does not seem like the others.

This game’s been a godsend with a toddler growing most of his teeth at once; he’ll nap on my shoulder and I can walk him around while mindlessly blapping monsters.

Me too. Memories of the strange look I got from the dental hygienist when I asked if it was OK for me to read the rulebook from Agricola during my cleaning. I really like Carcassonne too. Building maps, doot doot!

I think the closest to a name for that is Euro games, which doesn't really *guarantee* that they'll have lots of pieces and rules, but it's the genre that at least includes those games.
Some of them are good and don't even take that long to set up and play, like Seven Wonders or Carcassonne. (IMO Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers is the best of Carcassonnes, in that it takes most of the best parts of the expansions for regular Carcassonne, and fixes some balance issues, and then makes a new standalone game with those features so you don't need to buy lots of things. Except the art is the worst lol.)

Though you might be meaning the ones that take hours to play and you can only play once because you have to eat the pieces or something, like Pandemic Legacy, which is a different genre that may not have a name.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the game where there are cards numbered from 3 to 33 (I think, something like that anyway), and each round is a kind of bidding war to not take the card; on your turn you must either put a token on the card, or take the card and all the tokens that are on it (and a new card is dealt). The goal is to score the fewest points, with tokens being -1 point each, and cards being their face value except if you have a run of them (any length) that run only scores the lowest face value of the run. I remember ALL THE RULES but cannot remember the name.

Relatedly, "6 Nimmt", or "Take 6" is a pretty good game, and you can use a subset of its cards and any crap you have lying around as tokens to play the game I don't remember the name of, which is part of why I don't know what it's called, because I like it but don't own it.

when I was really young I remember "the adults" playing some weird game with tiles that wasn't mahjong or dominos, so game discussion inspired me to type "game with tiles" into google were I learned the damned game was apparently "Rummikub". I don't know anything about the game but hey at least that mystery isn't weighing on my conscience anymore.

e: the thing that really stuck in my memory was that some of the tiles have a face on them

Soon to be followed by the standard next move "people stopped using the app for no reason we can possibly fathom, so we're shutting it down."

In other news, I tried asking ChatGPT what the name of that card game is, and it sucks, it just keeps picking random games and describing rules that are neither the rules of that game nor compatible with the rules I told it. Mostly repeating back what I said, but then getting it wrong. In this context it performs barely better than Eliza.
