I played through all of Thimbleweed Park yesterday, fantastic time. Point and click adventure game with no real moon logic. Also, the art is fucking gorgeous


What Remains of Edith Finch, I think it has a fantastic narrative. Not so much twists, just best experienced yourself.


The update video is 25 minutes long, and with good reason. They: - Added new location - Added new cargos and industries - Added new rail lines - Added a remote track switching system - Added gadgets to mount in your train - Added trains to find and restore in the new train museum - Reworked the steam engine and braking simulations - Improved steam deck support - Improved performance - did a bunch of other stuff I know Early Access can be a blight upon man sometimes, but this game is really making the best of it, and I wholeheartedly recommend it if you don't have it already.

Automachef is the most unique factory game I’ve ever played. You make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on.

Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It’s got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech.


I had the solution to the main game spoiled for me YEARS ago. I have the game sitting on an external hard drive, just waiting for my brain to forget.


I bought SoD a while ago, and while I dont regret it, its gotten worse and worse. I use a laptop for everything, gaming included. The game has gone from running at a steadyish 30 fps (which is totally fine and usable, I don’t understand high fps people) to being an unstable mess that maaaaaybe hits 20 fps if I stand still.

Even ignoring the gameplay issues, this game needs WORK.


What Remains of Edith Finch was the first game to make me cry. I think I played it when I was around 12, and it just kinda broke me for a few days, particularly Walter’s story. Just an entire game of people trying and failing to escape their fate. The narration is pitch perfect. Edith sounds so real, and so tired.
