ooblets is one of my favorite in this genre. it’s got a great soundtrack, the humor is spot-on, and it’s got an anti-capitalist message.

firewatch is a personal favorite.

“what remains of edith finch” and “gone home.” waiting for the right rainy day to play them.

i love both the physical and digital versions of this game. 🕊️

it’s the dogs! i love dogs, but having them jump through the window destroyed me.

if you want to know how to get back, pick a side (i chose left) and always put torches on that side going down. to come back up, keep the torches on your right. 🔥

the original resident evil. couldn’t even get through the first 15 minutes before i threw the controller across the room. i don’t play scary games anymore, but i love watching other people play!

silent hill was super fun to watch.

my dad bought a switch for his wife recently. neither one of them are “gamers.” i think they only play mario kart!

i’ve poured hours upon hours into this game. it’s just a chill game (if you want it to be), and it’s fun to keep track of stuff to collect, talk to the NPCs, and go fight some baddies occasionally.

hell yeah. i started hanging around the local bike shop several years ago. at first i was building a bike using one of their community stands, and then they added some drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and now they host an in-shop event every thursday (trivia, special guests, costume contests, etc). it’s one of my favorite things about this lil’ city.

is meetup.com an option?

cutie patootie!

assuming “PC” doesn’t count… i’ll be a basic bitch and say nintendo switch. it’s the one i’ve played the most games on.

i tried to play the original about a decade ago and my partner at the time had to dodge me throwing the controller when the dogs jumped through the window. that’s when i knew i wasn’t cut out for playing horror games. (although i enjoy watching other people play them!)

i’m not religious, but boy howdy do i love a good secular ritual! i’ve been celebrating the equinoxes, solstices, and cross-quarters with bonfires recently. it’s a nice way to observe the passage of time. i also draw a tarot card once a day to reflect on, and an oracle card once a week.

a friend of my hosts full moon parties, which i also love.

ooblets and fire watch are not difficult or lengthy games, but both were so enjoyable. i think casual games often get the short end of the stick unless there’s some online element a la animal crossing.

is there a version of this in article form? i have a hard time watching videos.

these are more rock than chiptune, but very much video game inspired!
