42. SOCIAL CATERPILLAR (2026) binged this today as a distraction from something that happened irl which might have been the funniest possible reason to pick up this one out of the backlog. it's good! it's very meaty, stylish & the music slaps. the minigames drag on a bit but are thankfully optional

♫ Castle Pandemonium (From "Final Fantasy II") Epic final dungeons in FF must have epic songs to go with 'em! #FinalFantasyII #FinalFantasy
This game is proof that modern RPGs can still have all the charm, intellect, and craftsmanship of the classics
Quartet came out one year ago, August 26th, 2025 on PC, Mac and Linux! What a year it has been! Thank you to everyone who played our game and shared it with their friends! Very grateful. #QuartetRPG
i'm sorry, but being a top-down, turn-based RPG is still the best way to be
♫ Secret of the Forest (From "Chrono Trigger") Giving my own spin to this beautiful theme from the masterpiece that is Chrono Trigger. Feat. my buddy @merlandese.bsky.social on keys! 🔥 What's your favorite track from this classic OST? #chronotrigger
searching the term "likable characters" anywhere on the internet leads to a goldmine of bad opinions
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest was 17 years old when the Angry Video Game Nerd made his first video about it, promising to take us "back to the past" That AVGN episode is 22 years old
Wishlist our new game Catechesis and let a demon teach you how to play baseball.
Post a game you wish they’d reboot/remake. I want a remake of Romancing SaGa 3, but we need a remake of Unlimited SaGa, maybe more than any other SaGa game it would benefit from a second pass.

Watched The Odyssey at 9AM in the theater Interesting framework of, like, Odysseus being a an agnostic who dismantles the religious culture of the world

Social Caterpillar was full of surprises (and puzzles)! It does a great job highlighting how socializing irl and online is both challenging and revolve around trial and error. People live and learn. As someone who personally struggles with social cues I appreciated this one. 🫶🏻
Imagine a version of football where people scored points
Little bit of C&O canal action. (Biked the whole thing once before, unfortunately only have time to go from DC to cumberland this time!)
It's crazy that 50k unique players over the course of 10 years has only netted 226 Reviews for Last Word
The Odyssey is originally Greek, so it should remain Greek, in Greece. It was also old, and it should remain old. No new Odyssey! And it was spoken, not filmed! Do I even have to say it? We should only be speaking the Odyssey, in Greek, hundreds of years ago, and nothing else
it's the last day of the steam sale! if you're still looking for some last minute pickups, or just something to add to your wishlists for later, there's 200+ recs in here!
you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!
'scuse me hold on i gotta pop my back real quick
"Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" will get a movie in ten years and people will have a the same "this was cringe" realization they had about "Ready Player One"
