What are you talking about? You don't need to listen to a damn word anyone says. Just follow the waypoints, fast travel to everything. The game is a menu navigation simulator.

Not as far as I know. But it's gotta, right? Via EA partnership?

Sea of Thieves. Since day 1. Best Gamepass title. Easy to leave and return to.

Deaths Door is a minor masterpiece.

Tunic is a major masterpiece if you want something deceptively cerebral (looks like a kid-oriented Zelda-esque adventure. It is not, I assure you.)

Frost Punk is a very fun city builder with unique elements and design.

Loophero is a sort of tower defense but not? Strange game. Strangely addictive.

If you haven't played Jedi Fallen Order, get on it. Sequel is out and it slaps. Fallen Order itself has a better storyline than all the Disney sequels and Clone Wars (yeah, I said it) combined.

Not on Gamepass anymore, but bonus points for any former Gamepass title that was so damn good I ended up buying it when it left Gamepass. And that trophy goes to Crosscode. Maybe the 2nd best single player game I've played this decade.

Darkwood will be known as the last, actually good game to be given out via Games with Gold.

I absolutely recommend if economy management is your jam.

I love this game. Went through almost all the scenarios before burning out. Good stuff. Excellent console controls.

I tried to get into that, but I kept coming back to "why am I doing this?" Like... I can manage a village and it's pleasant enough... But why?

Sea of Thieves. Always. For the chill vibes and whimsy. And then some Aliens: Dark Decent, for that high stress, anxiety adrenaline. I'm a fellow of extremes.

Came to say Outer Wilds. That end moved me.

You're bang on. As a linguistic anthropologist I found this "meme" confusing and misleading. And your point about the impossibility of consistency is spot on.

Much ex-mo content is just angry people taking what they think are clever jabs at the church. Most of that content isn't nearly the 'gotcha' meme makers think they are. But man, when ex-mo content hits good, it hits real good haha.

The Last Unicorn by Beagle is word candy. Absolutely beautiful prose and imagery. But it is also a quick read, perfect for two days. Can't go wrong.

Oof. Im on last stage and can't figure it out

 

I'm outta the loop on why there's all these "rule" posts on the Fediverse. But there isn't an OutOfTheLoop magazine I can submit the question to. So, I am gonna try out this microblog thing. Anyone can fill me in?

As long as we are talking about old games that are still the gold standard, how is it possible no one has recreated the giant-god-monster and city management game Black and White yet?! That game was fantastic, and its premise so solid. It seems ripe for replication in more contemporary engines.
