    I haven’t done that yet but, give the opportunity, I would buy the hell out of a rerelease of Overblood. Rented it back in the day and it was terrible in all the best ways.

    Hentai vs Furries on Steam. Exquisite game with deep lore and a narrative rich with turns and twists at every corner. 11/10 powers of friendships

    Not a bad video game, but I thought I had zero chance of liking it. I bought American Truck Simulator for $2 and it’s such a good zone out video with something (radio/e-book/etc) on in the background. When I’m too exhausted to think, but want to be slightly more engaged than just throwing something on TV, it’s now my go to right now. I bought it on the most recent steam summer sale and have 20 hours into already. All of it on the Steam Deck.

      A friend gifted me snowrunner. I didn’t think I’d like it. In fact the learning curve was so steep (and the beginner trucks so bad) that I actually rage quit it the first time I played it.

      I now have over 500h lmao

    Among Us, Nintendo Switch, cause I had a $5 BestBuy gift card I wasn’t sure what else to do with. Never even booted a session yet.

    When I was in high school I saw a game called “Prison Tycoon” in a shopping mall Babbages and bought it for my brother as a dumb Christmas gift. I was in the store with a friend and we were kind of in shock. I remember my friend making a comment like “The box cover is just a cop beating a black man with a baton, how many people are involved in getting a game stocked by shopping malls?”

      Ah, yes, the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog Xbox 360 game (Sonic '06). Weirdest fricking Sonic game in existence. And not weird as in bad, but weird in general. Why was Sonic having sensual moments with a human princess? Why are we running around aimlessly in a city? Why are the controls so bad? All of these weird design choices just makes it… interesting, to say the least.

      I’d pick it up just for shits and giggles.

    I bought Ace of Seafood, in which you can play as many kinds of fish that all shoot lasers out or their mouths at other fish.

    It’s absolutely baffling but probably not how you’d expect… I found it pretty technical and demanding. It’s like a very serious game where you fly F16s and dogfight and destroy aircraft carriers except everything is fish. It’s Japanese to the max.

    I paid about £6 for it on the Switch, did not play it enough to get my moneysworth. But I think once you hear the concept, you will never stop thinking about it until you try it, so I was glad to be able to stop thinking about it.

      Oh damn, I forgot about this game. Actually played it multiplayer back in the day. I think it gave me a headache so quickly.

    Fps chess - not bad really, the mechanics are but thats part of the charm

    Muck - made for a game jam, fun with friends

    Retail royale - ikea themed battle royale, no more than 12 players online typically

    The looker - satire game based on the watcher

    Leaf blower revolution - cookie clicker style idle game with more engaging mechanics. Not bad really but a time waster fs

    Pearphone.io - fps game where you play as a pear shaped phone with a pear logo, no comment

    Bad Rats frequently goes on sale for $0.25 and is somehow worth less than that. But it’s become a meme to gift it to our friends
