It's interesting that the author is baffled by the inclusion of Gone Home, but while it arguably maybe doesn't fit the genre in spirit, it very much meets the technical definition argued here? If you've played the game before you very much *can* just use that knowledge to immediately go and beat it.

FWIW I find grades inherently confusing in games! It's always very hard to tell what the top and bottom of the range is: D to A? F to A+? F- to A++? And what the heck does S mean? That's not a grade! 😅 Never played any gacha games, but stars (or equivalent?) does feel like a cleaner read.

As a Locked Tomb fan I support this

Goddammit, with every single other one of these on this list a sheer personal 10/10, I really need to get around to trying 1000x Resist, don't I?

And also let's get rid of all our wires because why, surely nobody could possibly want to plug things in any percentage of the time now that Bluetooth is invented.

I wish just once they'd justify what they mean when they say any part of the left is a death cult and how it's a death cult. It's such a vague, nonsense claim that's can't really be argued against because it's meaningless, and yet is wielded with such fervor. Yet they never do, for obvious reasons.

Got to give it a poke when we briefly helped out on it, it had such gorgeous environments! Always such a shame for so much beautiful art work to not see the light of day 😔

How... how does it not?! WTF US, every time I think I've wrapped my head around what an absolute hellscape US healthcare is, I find out some new depth of perversion like this.

Yes! Having done blacksmithing before myself, I really enjoyed how it captures the feeling of it! I'd have enjoyed it to be 10x more granular, and I'm still a bit sad that you can't make your own pommels and cross guards, but it's a great minigame and IMO captures the process really well!

(Specifically, many of the recipes seem to be inspired by the 12th century Hildegard von Bingen's Physica)

Should only need to run it on the one high refresh rate display as it'll always render the top strip at the highest fps and then step down from there, so you can immediately see side by side 240, 120, 60 etc on the same display! Few different visualisation modes too!

I challenge anyone who claims they don't see a difference above 60 fps to run www.testufo.com on a high refresh rate monitor and insist they look the same.

Turns out, this is what good, prescient science fiction looks like after all 🥹

Seven year old Reddit comment sums it up better than me

Big fan of how the Kingdom Come Deliverance series does this - showed the alchemy mini game once to my dad and he expressed scepticism that anyone would be preparing potions in real life the way the game presents it. After a bit of research, found nearly identical actual medical recipes!
