Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

FLICK SHOT ROGUES somehow has under 300 reviews on Steam, which baffles me because it is incredibly fun. I haven't felt this spoiled for playstyle options in a roguelike since I first got addicted to Slay the Spire. And it plays beautifully on the deck. You should check it out.

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
These are two very good games.

With not only Disco Elysium, but also Esoteric Ebb, No Parades and the forthcoming Hopetown (and perhaps others?) -- do we have a word for this budding genre? Are they Disco-likes, as a cursory google told me? Or are they just an unnamed strain of RPG? (Also... I like this genre very much.)
For preservation and ownership’s sake, I’m slowly buying CDs and DVDs of my favourites, after letting my collections wither away for years. It feels good to own them.

this game is so damn fun
RJ Lackie@rjlackie.com · 4w agoNew favourite alert! FLICK SHOT ROGUES is a really fun roguelike of slingshotting warriors around a battlefield. The level to which character & weapon choices and perk selections impact playstyle reminds me of my first playthroughs of SLAY THE SPIRE. store.steampowered.com/app/2427450/...
