Oh man, Obra Dinn for sure. Nothing quite replicates that moment when all the pieces start to fit together. The game took me about 6 hours, I believe. Four hours were spent furiously trying to solve the puzzles, but the last two hours were a wonderful cascade of clues falling into place until I had a complete record of the ship's crew and passengers. Masterpiece.

Fallout: New Vegas. I still find new stuff in it to this day, don't get me wrong. But to be able to get lost in the Mojave with no idea of the stakes at play all over again would be an absolute delight.

For music, Facelift by Alice in Chains is one of the most underrated albums of all time. If I could go back to popping that CD in the stereo, not knowing what I'm in for and realizing that I'm listening to an Appetite for Destruction-level album. I wore that original CD out. :)

Maybe they can partner with Epson or Brother, they're pretty good at keeping their printers from printing

The funniest part was when he said he was speaking and asked to be allowed to finish. Then he started delivering his statement very calmly and quietly (for Trump), and it somehow ended with him ramping up for only these words and shouting "SHE WANTS TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON." It's like being at grandpa's for dinner, he starts off pointing out the gas prices are high and one sentence later he's talking about Kamala's communist dictatorship that she modeled after Maoist China.

I just want it to be more clear what products are in my food.

Expand allergy warning labels on products. Mammal product allergy exists, it's called alpha-gal syndrome - one of the issues that can arise from a tick bite. I would like to see allergy labels for beef, pork, gelatin, and carrageenan alongside the ones for milk, wheat, nuts, etc.

I really love the current gen controllers. I was using a Series X controller, which has a fantastic weight and feel, but I started experiencing drift. I decided to get a PS5 controller after that, and it's even better! I use it with my PC, and the touchpad works as a mousepad, which has allowed me to play a LOT of games comfortably on the couch, when I'd normally have to fumble with my mouse and keyboard.

So Streets of Rage 2 with some River City Ransom mechanics? Count me in! It won't increase the replayability for me though, I could already play SoR2 over and over, it's immaculate.

But, they are Ubisoft. As is the theme with this new Star Wars game. I'm almost wary to wish for a sequel to Rayman Legends, feels like the monkey's paw with AAA (sorry, AAAA) studios now.

Far Cry 2 also had the buddies system, which I have missed greatly in every entry since. Far Cry 3 was an awesome game but I do wish the series after had taken more inspiration from 2 and less from 3. Subverting missions and then losing your favorite buddy in a firefight is an experience unlike anything in the rest of the series.

For real. I played through Far Cry 5 recently, and as much as I enjoyed it it still felt like some exec saw Far Cry 3 and said "make this appeal broader and sell more."

Well now I'm embarrassed I didn't catch the Sunny reference! Oh no, time for a rewatch....

 

The chiaroscuro shading raises the value of this piece tremendously.
