Bloons TD 6. Just so incredibly addicting, and there's depth to the different monkeys and how they interact, especially when you think about all the upgrades.
Loved the RCT games growing up. I distinctly remember the water park expansion pack not working with my local copy of RCT3, for whatever reason. Being a kid, I never thought to contact support, and so I waited and waited for the platinum edition to release.
Those roller coaster vids back in the day with the 3D view were nuts! Some people are so creative...
I wonder how well this'll actually work in practice. Not feeling any physical response will probably make it harder to be efficient with the keyboard, and this will rely very heavily on your hands being correctly mapped constantly.
I'm definitely a bit of a newbie when it comes to VNs, but here're my thoughts:
Doki Doki Literature Club - Great VN to start off with if you don't mind some horror. It's especially effective if you've played a number of VNs already
YOU and ME and HER - Where DDLC is more suited for a general (western) audience, YOU and ME and HER leans more heavily into being a visual novel. It's a pretty good time.
STEINS;GATE - The absolute masterpiece that everyone recommends, and is one of my all-time favourite sci-fi stories featuring time travel and the realistic ramifications of such an ability. If you've already watched the anime, there's lots of content it glossed over so as to find in a 25 episode series, such as the entirety of Chapter 7, and an optional section of Chapter 9.
STEINS;GATE 0 - Sequel* (not actually a sequel, but takes place during the true end of STEINS;GATE) to STEINS;GATE, and is one I've been making my way through. It's also a great time, and explores some pretty unique ideas for its time.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy - The classic DS game remastered to a PC release, its humour still holds up to this day, and it's a really nice balance of visual novel style text after text, and actual gameplay mechanics. I would encourage the use of a guide if you struggle in some court cases, as it's not always obvious what you need to be doing.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion has a lot of love and care put into mods. Being a sci-fi game, plenty of Star Trek / Star Wars / etc. conversions that do more than just reskin the models.
I feel strongly that once games reach a certain age, there should be laws preventing companies from going after freely transmissible copies of said game. If you can't buy a console from the manufacturer and you can't buy the game from the publisher, then where's the harm?
Another Kagi subscriber here. I do it mainly to support the little guy rather than some big tech giant like Google or Microsoft, but I’m quite enjoying the new features they’ve been adding over time.
The current state of copyright and software patents just infuriate me to no end. It’s actively stifling innovation and competition, all in the name of money…
