Just to add to that answer, I’d the biggest difference is the grim powerlessness. The players can barely delay the inevitable and most will probably die in the process.

There are way more skills aimed at investigations, and the goal are often more aimed towards a McGuffin that solves the issues, or sometimes the goal is simply to just be able to leave in one piece and hope someone else cleans the mess 😅. (There’s actually a fan story adapted into a RPG called « Delta Green » where you play a secret military tasked with dealing with mythos threats)

As D&D is the epic hero’s journey where Gandalf saves everyone at the last minute, CoC is the horror thriller where the protagonist dies, only a rando side character survives and walks off screen as the dead monster opens its eyes again just before cutting to black.

Truly! I have a streaming app for local TV and I recommended it to a friend and he said  "no way man! Way too many ads in it!" That’s when I realized how awesome Pi-Hole is 🤣

Learning more about Linux, I smile when people review distros on YouTube based on the desktop environment

Like, I know you are reviewing « SuperFunOS » but really that’s just a fork of Ubuntu with Plasma…

« I give it negative points because there is no office suite included » Dude… really? …

(Dammit… I’m slowly becoming an elitist 😨 )

I always found "The Perceptron" to have such a badass name…. 😅 (Math part was annoying though…)

If it works well, I’m all for it! 😁

(In the past years I’ve seen too many hyped projects just crash on release, so I’ll be observing the progress but I won’t be praising something that’s not even out yet)

Honestly, I will emulate almost all consoles EXCEPT N64…. This little weird Frankenstein console barely holds by a thread so most emulators can’t recreate its flaws and quirks correctly (which, funnily enough, are needed to run games smoothly)

PS2 emulators on the other hand, are FREAKING awesome!!! :D Live upscaled Battlefront 2 is GREAT!!
