Gathering materials does suck, yeah. Rarely an activity I enjoy in any game.
I can respect the opinion of wanting to skip the social parts, that’s definitely not for everyone.
Some of them I really like though, like Nico’s always doing these side-eyed references to movies without actually naming them (Pulp Fiction, The Room, etc.)
I’m hooked on Marvel’s Midnight Suns right now. It’s a little bit XCOM, a little bit Persona, and some deckbuilding on top. Some exploration and light puzzles in the hub area between missions if you like, mostly for the friendship/lore/cosmetic stuff. Got it free from Epic last month, but I’d say it’s at least worth $25 or so if you find a sale.
Edit: Also Nico Minoru is a possible party member, and I fucking love Runaways.
The words of the prophets are written on the bathroom walls, and toilet stalls.
Also fantastic, can’t believe I forgot to include this one. Not only are they hilarious, but it’s fun to rewatch them knowing Jordan Peele would go on to start making a name in horror. You can see the roots of that in a lot of their sketches.
I need to give this one another look. I watched a few episodes a while back, and it wasn’t bad, but it was weird. It felt kind of like watching interdimensional cable from Rick & Morty.
I forgot about Mr Show.
They also did a brief revival on Netflix a few years ago, “w/Bob & David”. I think it kept the spirit pretty well.

When I was a lad I had two dozen health, in encounters to help me tank hiiiits!
But now that I’m grown, I have twelve dozen health, so I pretty much don’t give a shiiiit!
Neither of them compare to The Neptunes. They had a fucking shark on the drums.
Oh no! People are being mean to the human equivalent of an unwiped asshole covered in weeping pus sores?
Chowder. Gazpacho.
And would sometimes accuse chestnuts of being lazy?
You want beans? I’ll give you all the beans you can handle…
It also helps if you want to add some shredded cheese. There’s an emulsifier in mustard that helps the cheese melt smoothly into the sauce.
Did Capcom even do anything for Breath of Fire’s 30th last year? Fuck’s sake, if you’re not going to give me a real BoF 5 (we don’t talk about Dragon Quarter), then at least put 3 and 4 on Steam/Switch with updated sprites. I’ll pay $20.
Just picked up Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins. Maybe 6 hours in… Never heard of it when it came out. It seems like a pretty great fusion of Nioh minus the stances, and one of the more actiony FFs so far. The story is… there. It seems to be heavily based on FF1 so far, so I’m not expecting much. The rest of the game is fun and batshit crazy enough to make up for it.
Pssh, clearly this woman was taken to the furthest reaches of space and time by a manic depressive immortal in a phone booth, at one point learning that she was fated to die the next day. Said immortal returned her to earth moments later from our frame of reference, after a spacetime accident wiped most of her memory of the events. Leaving her with only a bad feeling about tomorrow, and a deep sad longing she cannot name when she gazes toward the stars.
That giant brain really tied the hive together.
Yellow kiwi blow green kiwi away. Little to no fuzz, so you can eat like an apple without peeling, and less tart. Also maybe a hint of banana to the taste?
