Pretty fitting that one of the cards always used with it says “How long must this go on?”

Have you played Papo y Yo? It’s about a young boy in a poor Brazilian favela dealing with his alcoholic father. His father is depicted as a big beast who is a harmless, maybe even lovable heap who you need to make progress when sober, but when he’s been drinking (well, licking frogs), he’s a raging monster. It’s

Yeah, getting eaten by the one in Sen’s Fortress may be my all-time favorite Soulsborne memory. I remember thinking “huh, that chest isn’t quite flush with the wall” as I bent over to open it and then just shouting OHHHHHHH SHIT!

Another good one. I’d probably swap out All I Want for Pow Pow, but YMMV.

Yep, that’s where I landed too.

If you were doing best 3 out of 4, Parallel or Together?/Dial Up/Timorous Me off The Tyranny of Distance by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists would have a real shot here. Pity that Under the Hedge kinda sucks.

Some options:

I found her a bit off-putting in the main game, but holy crap that DLC.

Yeah, that’s exactly where my progress slowed down. I had to spend a lot of time staring at the map to identify areas I hadn’t fully explored and find the bosses I’d missed. Totally worth it, though!

Yes to Bastion! If your computer can run it, your computer should have it.

Don’t remember Borderlands in any detail, but one DLC in Borderlands 2 (Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep) was so good — funny, touching, surprising — that I give everything else a pass.

Just finished it! I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s too much for some computers, but maybe that’s just because of how dang pretty it is.

Even the baseball-related parts are terrible! Just off the top of my head:

Gone with the Wind isn’t racist because is the language that’s used - it’s racist because of the way it glorifies plantation life. The Sandlot isn’t misogynistic because the kids she sexiest assholes. It is sexiest because they glorify the moments when they are sexiest assholes.

As long as Sugar is at the top of the list, the order of the rest don’t matter to me.
