I love Dear Esther. I feel like anyone's fun with it is going to entirely depend on whether they like the writing style.

Another good thing in Dear Esther is that there are a few little ghostly figures here and there, and I've watched quite a lot of people play through it on youtube (I really, really like the game) but the only guy who spotted one of them thought it was a rendering error.

Alright, what do you think the first "respectable" Graphic Novels are? Like, the earliest recognized ones are from '78 and were almost entirely collected short series reprinted in single book form. The Watchmen is out a year before Maus gets collected as a graphic novel and wins the pullitzer. What non-anglo centric graphic novels do you think deserve the "first respectable literary form" title? Please note I'm not trying to be condescending here, I'm just curious on what Graphic Novels I'm missing out on.

I mean Barefoot Gen started in 1973.

Solitarica is rad as hell. It's like Slay the Spire but with solitaire (like Faerie Solitaire or Regency Solitaire), and just about as addictive and engaging as Slay the Spire. I did everything there was to do on the free phone version without spending money (to unlock other characters which is where like 3/4 of the game is) and it's absolutely worth your time if you like games.

Yeah Solitairica is great, actually.

RG's soundtrack has had more playtime here than the game.

I seem to remember Rebel Galaxy has a feature where you can calibrate the soundtrack from the main menu, or maybe even from outside the game. Set your combat tracks, your non-combat tracks, etc. Really liked that.

Question about Humble Choice. There's a deal for the Premium Monthly plan at $8 a month for the first 3 months. I want to grab Bloodstained. Can I join and then cancel without any penalties?

Is Bloodstained in the bundle that'll be charging end of August? Because if so you can have my copy, assuming I remember you exist. Send me a PM next Friday if you want. I'll never play the thing.

Shigeru Miyamoto said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about gaming than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in Smash Bros.

It's not a free game, but there is a game called Peglin. You fight monsters by playing peggle to do damage.

There's Roundguard too. Might look for a free Peggle though in the spirit of the thread.

Nobody does that for me, and I have an actual Ph.D; I doubt that I'm alone. There are probably a few physicians on this forum as well; you'll get used to it.

Astrologaster is good

It is!
It's a game where you are an Elizabethan-era physician trying to treat people with your definitely real credentials and the definitely genuine science of astrology. Every character who comes to see you has a fully-sung introduction in various styles. It's very funny and quite sweet in some ways. You get to decide how to handle certain storylines. And it has a really charming pop-up book graphical style.

e: Also the character you play as, Simon Forman, was a real guy who kept very detailed notes of both his patients and treatments, and all the women he banged, of which there were lots

The original TJ&E on the Mega Drive is my favourite of all time, and I so badly wanted to like this, but I don't.

Same. I backed the kickstarter and everything. It just doesn't really do it. Thankfully the original is still totally playable emulated.

Same.

I remember people bitching about Alistair in Dragon Age, not because he was annoying or badly written exactly, but because he didn't like it if you did evil poo poo and would complain. So some people would prefer blocks of wood I guess.

I liked Alistair, he was fun.
