Mbourgon everywhere

Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.

Huh? When did it go to crap? I read it for at least several years regularly. Kieran etc


On the other side, look at BG3, which was able to incorporate fan feedback and make a superior game than they would have.



Personally, I don’t see it mentioned, but during Next Fest I found and loved both Balatro and “Menace From The Deep”. Lovecraftian Cosmic-Horror deckbuilder with some nice twists. The amount of polish is pretty high, the game is quite fun in its current demo, and it seems like it’s a passion project from one Ukrainian. I came here to see what other people had found, and just downloaded like 10 demos. Guess I’ll be following up here.




Congrats to them! Time to go play it some more on the couch via steam link. :)


Unavowed is so good. Different party members mean different ways to solve the same puzzles. Great narrative.


Played the demo. It’s a simple loop, but yeah, I get it. It’s addictive.


If you like deck builders, it’s surprisingly good. Takes a while to get going, and it’s not Inscryption that I can tell. But it’s solid and i wound up playing for 2 hours.


That Lovecraft roguelike card builder sounds awesome!


It’s a fantastic game if you’re into escape rooms or just curious about them. Bought it a while ago and have all the expansions.
