Silly gaming question: examples of games with way better soundtracks than they deserve. Not, like, a good soundtrack on a game yo bounced off of that was a big success - a game that was mid or bad, by consensus, with a solid musical score. My offer: Planetary Annihilation. youtu.be/uwtNikzjKik?...

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

In release order: half games I really liked as a kid and haven't played in years, and half games released and played as an adult. (AOE3 is the one in both categories.)

A grid of nine games: Sim City 2000, Caesar 3, Civilization 2, Banjo-Kazooie, Age of Empires 3, Sunless Sea, Opus Magnum, Return of the Obra Dinn, Victoria 3.

Feral mimic girl

Drawing of a humanoid monster with a regular human body, but a neck and head that opens up in a maw with multiple teeth, revealing a face with many eyes and spikes. To the side, a second image of the cropped upper half of the monster's torso and head shows its maw closed around its face, showing the jaws closed and only revealing two of its eyes peeking out between the teeth.

Thanks for the kind words and high praise. I do what I can to support indie creators, but have also been consistent in my firm stance against AI use in creative art and writing as I feel it's a dead end plague that hurts the industry far more than helps it, so I'm not interested in sharing your campaign. I know it's tough to establish a creative career and stand out in a crowded market but, for me, this kind of AI-generated art and video does not look professional, polished or well designed, it just has an off-putting glossy veneer of homogenous rendered stuff all thoughtlessly crashing together. Take care.

I think that my first introduction to monsterfucking was, genuinely, this song? Like, it's entirely g-rated and is mostly there to be kinda humorous, but I do love how the woman just rolls with the punches. (And, as a kid, I remember thinking "why don't more stories about monster do that?")

Like, you can imagine, "by custom, the state official who hands out Letters of Monster-Hunting Marque operates in the town square next to the inn/tavern/pub because that's where wandering travelers show up" but that official isn't the tavern keeper (though they might, by custom, cooperate).
