Total loot goblin, it's a real problem sometimes (and not always in the funny way).

Me too, Hank. It's been an emotional rollercoaster of a week in my household, and I'm on one of the hills down right now. You and I are going to be OK, though. I've got my Pizza John oversized hoodie on, & I'm gonna play go a game with my buddy and relax. You should relax too, you deserve it. DFTBA!

Is it too on the nose to suggest it be election themed?

Mouthwashing needs to be made into a mini-series.

I have never understood the purpose of intentionally designing art such that a subset of its owners might not be able to ever enjoy it fully. If you're designing a game so difficult that it's conceivable that it could never be completed without those options, then yes, as accessibility features.

Understood. I was more raging at the idea that there are people in the world that entertain the alternative. Keep up the great work. 👍👍

Unequivocally YES, and this shouldn't be up for discussion (no hate to your excellent question series). Game devs are using their talents to express themselves for the appreciation of others. That's art.

I immediately think of old timey pepper shakers marching around as guardsmen & when they die the lids pop off and the pepper pours out. I love this idea & would 100% play it.

Roguelikes (can we not have the lite/like debate? No one really cares that much, heh), specifically deckbuilders. Slay the Spire, Across the Obelisk, Balatro, SpellRogue, RollScape, Breachway, all are excellent.

Love the questions, keep 'em coming!

See, there's the issue: you actually use the wishlist for its intended purpose. 😉 I don't get many gifts, so I use it more as a shopping list. Your point is well taken, though.

You have more generous friends than I do, it seems. 🤣

Ripley from the Alien universe. Excellent question!

We'll just count my Steam library 200+ for simplicity here, figuring in mobile gaming would lead to insanity😂:

Across the Obelisk (yay multiplayer roguelite deckbuilding!)
Terraforming Mars (yay solo mode!)
Binding of Isaac
Slay the Spire
Gloomhaven (beat the campaign multiplayer!)
Dragon Quest XI

Right now I'm playing The Outer Worlds. I really like it, it feels very Firefly-esque and I'm here for it.
