In the interests of cautious optimism, if you’re just controlling the station/ship’s systems to try and help or guide the people, that could work fairly well with touch controls (or be indescribably frustrating, depending on how responsive survivors are to you opening up opportunities for them).

Then take a nap.

Because a lot of people have joined Gold in the four years since then and maybe they’d like the game too? 

Celeste is SO GOOD, you guys. If you haven’t played it, maybe consider what’s causing you to make such poor life decisions, but resolve to do better in the future, starting by grabbing Celeste. 

Tim, since you wouldn’t say anything bad about Celeste, I’ll say something. The chase at the end of the hotel level was too long and needed to be trimmed by about 25%. Aside from that, perfect game. 

Fair enough. Either way, Minsc is with you from the get-go, while Sarevok is a ToB party member. So for most of the game, not having Sarevok isn’t a disadvantage, since you CAN’T have him yet.

Sarevok can turn Good eventually if you go through his whole redemption arc. And who needs Korgan when you’ve got Minsk and his 18/00 Strength?

Awesome! Seems like it was well worth the wait! I will admit I’m a tiny bit disappointed she doesn’t come with rocket accessories to have coming out of her shoulders, but ah well. 

I’m glad someone else made this point so I don’t have to.

I’m still frustrated that it’s looking like we’re never getting the Bravely Default collaboration that Japanese players got.

Hawaiian pizza is amazing, even from Papa Johns, and I don’t want to hear any arguments about it. 

Or European devs - like Spiders who’ve done some weird but good stuff like Bound by Flame (I still get a kick out of some random NPC, concerned that my character had sprouted, horns warning her that the more the demon got control the less of my main character there was - lady, I like this demon infinitely more than…

I don’t know if your math is accurate, but your overall analysis feels spot-on. If all the big name games are gone from Steam - and it really seems like a matter of time at this point - what’s left?

All I want is playable JFK. Give me that, and I’ll buy Blops 4 today.

At least in TOR you got the Light Side/Dark Side points for your vote regardless of what the majority decision was. (And maybe a bonus if your choice won? It’s been a while.)

Hopefully some third-party games. I loved, loved, LOVED those old Rennovation games back in the day - Thunder Force 3, Gain Ground (a perennial favorite to 2p with my brother), Final Zone (still one the games I’m proudest of beating). Plus stuff like Bimini Run, X-Men 2: Clone Wars, etc.

My brother is fond of pointing out that of all the Pokémon trainers shown in the carton, Jessie and James are actually the best - Ash can’t even get friggin’ Charmander to obey him and James’s Victreebell loves him SO MUCH that it can actually interfere with their evil plans. And Jessie’s Arbok loves her deeply too.…

Catching up on the Assassin’s Creed series - I’m 95% done with Rogue, got Unity queued up (I know, but I’m a completionist, and I liked what I played of it when it came out well enough). 

Okay, I know TECHNICALLY the Warriors of Darkness were actually trying to force their homeworld to be destroyed before the Light could consume it forever, but potato, potahto.

Of the two MMOs I really got into, I miss my friends from WoW the most, but it’s FFXIV’s world and story that I miss. Maybe it’s time to figure out a way to have time for an MMO again....
