All I want is the DnD cantrip Prestidigitation. I don't aim high.

Last time (a few months ago) when I searched for a discord alternative, screen sharing function alternatives couldn't even come close to what it is offering, sadly. I've been ready to jump ship for some time. Used Steam voice chat as a quick replacement, since almost all my friends who are on Discord are also on Steam.

I don't see Bioware titles on the list. Dragon Age series for fantasy, Mass Effect for sci fi. Since BG3 is on the list, I wanted to mention in case you haven't gotten to them yet.

+1 to RimWorld suggestion.

Thank you, I was on mobile and didn't pay attention. I edited my comment without the tracking, too. No need to have that garbage in there

There was this vid talking about it I've stumbled upon:

Modded Minecraft for sure. But there are a handful of games I keep going back to and common theme for those games that I can listen to a podcast or audiobook while I'm playing them, like Rimworld, No Man's Sky, Stardew Valley, Skyrim.

I think the title of the article is misleading a bit. According to the article, the game has been in development since 2018 and they've been having issues they cannot seem to be able to fix to their satisfaction and it sounds like it's more viable for the studio to abandon the project than try to fix it by throwing more money and time at it. And it's a console game, so that limits their market, too.To me, reading the article, "narrative driven games don't sell anymore" is not the main problem.

Veilguard is far from success, and it's because it's the worst-written DA game to date. And that is on EA. They had every chance to make it a good game (as the art book they published shows just what a good story it was shaping up to be before EA forced them to start over for a live service version) but they chose to waste everyone's time for 10 years by changing their mind mid development multiple times, firing the veteran team members right in the middle of development....

What doesn't sell are the games that don't have a well written story or well-written characters. Or the games that their developers themselves don't have any passion or interest in, games just made to please shareholders.... Or games that get preachy on issues without proper care...

This experience but in my case, I got a significantly lower grade despite the fact that I worked on the paper longer. It was a great shock to me, I never got that low of a grade when I did those papers at the absolutely last minute.

For games specifically, I have to binge or I'll never go back to it and next time I wanna play, I have to start over. Books or TV shows etc. don't have the same problem as they are more passive consumption than a game.
