@renwillis@mstdn.socialIF... you're curious, here's my review of Ys 9, written in comparison to Ys 8. If Ys 8 was a solid A, Ys 9 landed at a respectable B-

From open beta reviews it seems like Battlefield 6 mostly seems to exist to woo Call of Duty players over to the BF world. Small maps, speedy movement, etc...
So a skip for me most likely. BFV and BF4 still exist and are OK. Should try and see if one could play Battlefield 2 properly anymore. That is the best of the series.
Boop! mezzo just started a stream with the following title:

A new country awaits for All the Adventures: New Zealand! I give the history of the country's microcomputing scene in the 80s (more dramatic and twisty than expected) then embark on the first adventure we currently have from the country, Robots on Terminus IV.

So, I visited Ankha and she told me that she was thinking about her "secret guilty pleasure!"
So, here's a Question of the Day: What is Ankha's "Secret Guilty Pleasure?"
Right answers, obviously wrong answers, all welcome!
Morning Folks. One of the things that I wish I could message my wife... is how weird Mollie's behavior has been since she passed. I started Dead Country by Max Gladstone last night, and also talked about more #PathOfExile nonsense with the profitability of #Delve and more #ToxicRain nonsense.

I am looking for some game recommendations for a dear friend.
A while back a they had a stroke, and they lost motor control in one hand. Under these conditions, games need to be ones that can be played with 1-hand using keyboard, or mouse, or single handed controller.
Any recommendations? Any genre OK.
