As a child I played this with my sister for so long that our eyes burned the next day. I was convinced you could upgrade ur house into having a villager roommate. Still mad thats not the case u_u

A grubby, dinosaur-obsessed child grips her DS and plays the wildest creature collection game that she STILL swears is "actually narratively compelling"

Best pokemon game I played a kajillion hours on because your little guy could stand beside you. I used to battle my sister all the time, she was always much better than me.

"Gay people" can be found in this video game and it has the compelling thrall to seek out and find other gay people to convert. I was a only a teen...

Being 15 and crying at this ending was a formative experience for me. The art in this game is forever one of my favs- its like a warm hug.

The game that made me say "I want to make something like that!" - The real eureka moment of realizing I could make art for video games - and actually changing my life forever.

I got this for free from a classmate's pocket who later asked for my address so he could stalk me. Linebeck was a very formative character towards the charismatic cowards I am drawn to, so a win-win I suppose.

I could've only enjoyed this game as a 17yo with too much time on my hands to try and master the rhythm system, but it was another game that made me love sadness and doomed narratives.

Looked back on this game and thought "wow I really liked that one, huh?" only to find that I'd maxed out every class on all characters, beat everything optional in the game, and had a billion gold. I apparently went into some sort of coma playing this. But yeah, it is fucking great tbh.

(god-like voice): Anime chess is a thing, and its something you like A LOT. This game will trick you into playing/liking FE: Fates which is not very good and will be hard to defend. This game is very solid tho, so just recommend this one.

Played this as a deeply lonely freshman in college and it changed my brain chemistry into being a very annoying individual, but also it really is That Good.

Made post-apocalypse interesting in a time when it was overdone. Taught me that tragic doomed narratives are really my jam, and that sad things can be beautiful.

These are my 8 dads and scout. If I think about any one of them I explode about how cool they all are.

Telltale came to my college to recruit just 2 weeks before it shut down - They got to tell me that my thesis was impressive and I got to tell them how much I loved the art in this game. ...Hopefully the sequel isn't cancelled... again?

Played this right before my cat suddenly passed away. It's weird sadness brought me a lot of comfort. I wish my brain would allow me to make something like this.

The Game Of All Time. Nobody is doing it like this, its musings about ghoulish capitalists was prophetic in its own destiny. There will never be another game like it ever again and that makes me deeply sad. I will forever love Disco Elysium.
