Seconding Gnosia.

Not sure if 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim counts, but eh. There is mandatory RTS gameplay, but it's pretty fun.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is also very good. Only caveat is that it references the original trilogy a lot, so you may want to play/read abt those for the full impact.

Well, of course: the Legos are required.

Also: gentle book manuscript accountability nudge!

It's absurd (in the we-laugh-so-that-we-do-not-cry sense) that this is what a grown man and self-proclaimed reporter thinks is daring and dramatic journalism. Couldn't bring myself to read it even if I had the mental energy.

one of us, &c

Pier 39 in San Francisco has special docks just for the sea lions, fyi! there's a livestream on their website, but I'm afraid no technology known to man can capture just how incredibly loud they are

It's wonderful! You should be very proud of yourself :)

Yeah, Dark Urge isn't really a good first option because it subverts a lot of the important story beats/elements and draws a lot of that impact from the assumption that the player knows what is being subverted or changed.

also, frankly, RFK's personal story is way less important than the fact that he is going to kill many, many people.

Yeah, my (very limited, I am not a rhetoric scholar) understanding of the idea is that the deliberate inaccuracy is a signal of authenticity to the audience, so same vibe as what you're getting.

affective mediation my beloathed. "but I want my audience to think I'm more authentic" oh, so you're admitting that you can't think of any ways to do that that don't also involve your audio being worse while you look silly?
