I’m new here and looking for community! Are you my community??
I love:
✍️ Writing and storytelling across mediums
🎮 PC games (with standouts in almost every genre)
🎲 TTRPGs (especially Cypher, Ironsworn, and Free League games inspired by Simon Stalenhåg’s art books; also a long history with dnd)

There aren't a lot of other long-running game series I feel need an ESSENTIAL ORDER-style list.
Most series are either straightforward or too niche for me to feel the need to provide one.
But I hope my week of providing these has been fun! (I've relinked each in the thread below)

Concluding my ESSENTIAL ORDER series (for now), let's tackle the Metroid games!
The idea is that I'll list a sequence of landmark games in the series newbies should play if they want to be introduced to everything the epic series has to offer.
Feel free to disagree!

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

I recently finished the video game Cloudpunk by Ion Lands on PC. It’s a fun, thoughtful cyberpunk tale of a delivery driver’s first night in Nivalis, a failing & collapsing city that spares no one.
I loved moving through the neon city in my flying car, making deliveries and questionable decisions!

I think the Divination Deck might be the undersung hero of the Cypher campaign. Turn a card for an intrusion idea, an NPC, a creature, an NPC trait, an interesting event, upcoming weather, or just a shot of inspiration? Upgraded to deluxe finish? I can't wait for this thing!

I'm weary of the $60-80 game argument.
It's all based around one fallacy:
That most games cost $60-80.
Most games released digitally do NOT cost $60-80. They often cost $40 or less!
Market price =/= MSRP.
So let's have an honest discussion about pricing in games. (A thread; all prices USD)
