If you like rpgs and management I’d suggest Battle Brothers, a mercenary company management game. You basically travel the countryside fighting brigands and taking jobs from various cities all while building up your company with new recruits and equipment. It’s got a bit of a learning curve but once you get the basics down it’s oddly enthralling.

Sports is kind of a stretch. Professional wrestling should be classified as entertainment with the soap operas and marvel slop.

Very detailed and informative post as always! This is how video game journalism should be done.
You’ve convinced me to give Death Standing another go. I bounced off of it 30 minutes in after the 20th minute of cut scenes but there seems to be more juice to it further in so I’ll power through another hour or two and see if I can’t find the hooks!

Love these! Reading the bit about Sierra have me big nostalgia vibes.
Just a FYI, the turds at Longdue making “Hopetown” are suing Argo Tuulik one of the lead writers for the OG Disco Elysium in some lame effort to snuff out any preternatural competition from Argo’s own project.
Luckily the community has really rallied behind him so things are looking up. Still I wouldn’t give Longdue/Riaz Moola/Hopetown (ugh what kind of hack came up with that name?) any more positive press because they ate as hell don’t deserve it :o
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 5 weeks ago:
Star Control 2 - it’s a mix of RPG storytelling with zany aliens mixed with Asteroids style PvP arcade gameplay. Like Ham and Cantaloupe, you think the combination wouldn’t work but it just somehow does. The writing and lore of the whole universe is just super rich and really immerses you into the whole universe.

I could not for the life of me get my head into the classic version of subspace. Buuuut Trench Wars was sick AF especially when the server admins set up Zombies! Events on the weekends.

I actually bought the boxed version of the game on 4 separate 3.5" floppies :o
Was in a clearance bin at Toys R Us for like 5 bucks. I remember being so stoked to be able to buy all the different weapons they teased at the end of the shareware episode!

Loved the Hugo games. The jungle one was probably my favorite up to the point where I needed to find out some trivia question about the name of some person’s dog before the time of Internet.

Solar winds blew my mind once I actually figured out all the controls. The universe they built was super cool and I really dug the combat. Can’t count the number of times I got owned by this guy trying to blow him up from the get go.
