Civilization is one of the greatest games of all time in dimensions that other fantastic games don't even participate in. I think I have learned more things and about things playing Civ than any other game. And it's also maybe the most addictive game I've ever played it's so hard to put down once you turn it on.

And every time I play I stomp something that was really difficult last time and that's very fun.

Legitimately, this has all my favorite bosses from the Metal Gear Series.
The End is maybe my favorite videogame boss fight.

I sure did enjoy Jade Cocoon 1 and 2. Still never spoken to anyone who has played either I think. The art direction is by a former professional Miyazaki copier at Ghibli and it's obvious. The settings of the games are clearly based on Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa respectively as well so if you're into all that you'll find something to like. The second one though is then also a perfect game that stands on its own. Perfect besides a couple bugs you won't care about until you beat it.

2 at least is such a unique and deep take on monster raising games. 1 maybe hasn't aged as well (2 really has) but that statement probably applies to it as well even if they're extremely different.

You got a little Navi type fairy in 2 voiced by Kari Wahlgren which is delightful. Really all the voice acting in 2 is superb. 2 has aged much better than 1, would recommend either but definitely 2.

I was not emotionally prepared for the first new Legend of Mana content in twenty two years. That's maybe the only game I've ever been certain was my favorite at any point in my life. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Just been thinking about Morrowind lore all day long. The 36 Lessons of Vivec in particular is by far the best bit of game lore I've ever read. I like psychedelics and real life esoterica (and Morrowind) though so ymmv.

Just learned something new in Dwarf Fortress. Normally goblins appear as a gray lowercase letter g because they're grey and creatures are represented with the first letter of their species name generally. However, their eyes glow red and can be seen in the dark, and a goblin you can't see due to darkness is instead represented by a red quotation mark representing the eyes. Now that is cool but I already knew that. What I did not know is that a goblin missing one eye will instead be represented by a red apostrophe.

I really love this game.

The plot of ff1 doesn't make any sense at all. It may have made sense in their heads but they did a bad job explaining why the time travel. It's normal for a plot to make no sense because you bungle time travel logic but it doesn't even make sense that time travel is used imo.
