I’m about 10 hours into Esoteric Ebb and I’m very much in love. The writing and pacing of the game is super on point, and I’m already starting to feel sad as I’m getting closer and closer to the end.

Seems like there’s quite a few story beats you can miss though, so hopefully there’s a strong reason to come back to it after rolling credits.

Oh my friend, this might be the biggest gamewang yet!!

Angry enough to kill all the folks?

It seems like this one has the juice!

Consider subscribing to my newsletter then haha. Thanks!

Really awesome post and mirrors a lot of my insights. My company has a demo out for the Fest and I’ve been looking at what other games are doing, and our number of downloads and comments and all that. It’s really a great festival this time though! Glad you have a nice list of great new games.

I really want to play this but I ain’t got the cash right now. Trying to avoid all spoilers. Hope you all have fun though!!

Is a full party of 4 when it is at its best? I’ve got two other people interested so wondering how it goes with 2-3 as our schedules are a little misaligned

I started on Nobara and it’s pretty stable now, been on it for a year. I think it’s the perfect place as it’s based on Fedora so easy to look stuff up and know how to handle problems, but it auto-installs the Nvidia drivers and gets you going immediately.

They have a pretty good discord for support too!

So overall would you suggest to not use their service and put up with the pain points of proton?

That’s awesome to hear. I’m planning to get some time with it next week and write something up specifically about it for the newsletter!

There is nothing wrong with FastMail, I just don’t like that they are based in Aus and are under the Five Eyes situation. I say this as an Australian who lives in a different country. I would prefer privacy locked, but from their transparency reports, they do seem pretty secure.

I’m not opposed to it being calendar only, but if it has email also then that is a bonus

I never played the prequel but heard this is a lot more polished so maybe it has what you are looking for. If you do jump in let me know how it goes!

A rare treat these days at this level of production

I’ll keep it going as long as I can!!

We are approaching 200 games on my Wishlist and I own 1337 games and I’m not making that number up haha

Ooooh nice going to check it out this weekend! I’ve been so focused on our own demo for next Fest that I haven’t had a chance to play much yet!

I’m using the Audeze Maxwells right now. Mic isn’t that great but I wanted a great sounding pair of cans for gaming and music, and my friends are the ones who have to put up with the average mic.

It’s a little possessed though…
