I don't think I can rank things that way any more. I think of my "best games of all time" category as "absolute masterpieces".
So here are my "absolute masterpieces" in the order in which they come to mind, which is as good an indicator as any, I suppose.
- Daggerfall
- Fallout 1 & 2
- Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
- Sekiro
- Bloodborne
- Alpha Centauri
- Disco Elysium
- The Longest Journey
- The Journeyman Project 2
- Asheron's Call (the original)
- The Witcher 3
- Horizon: Zero Dawn
- Close Combat series
- The Outer Wilds
- Crysis (ONLY the original)
- Far Cry (ONLY the original)
- Planescape: Torment
- Ghost of Tsushima

If only I could get wifi to work on a linux partition, it would be the perfect linux machine.
- Fill a cup with oreos.
- Cover with milk.
- Wait until oreos become paste.
- Stir and eat with spoon.
Also, my favorite cookie/biscuit used to be Mother’s Taffy sandwich cookies, but then they went out of business, got bought out, brought back, and ruined by completely changing the recipe. Pretty sure the new recipe is just cardboard pulp and reclaimed wastewater.
I miss those.
Hamas isn’t a state.
I'm with Gen Z on this. Hell, I've have been complaining about this since I was a kid in the 80s. You do not need every damn relationship to be a romance. People can be friends and acquaintances and frienemies and enemies and everything in-between without there being romance or sex.
That's kinda the thing about fascism... they don't need a majority. It's about seizing control and undermining democracy to do so.
Fascists can take over without ever having anything near a majority... hell, even a plurality.
"Price of waging war..."
Indiscriminate bombardment of civilians is not "war" Joe, it's fucking terrorism and genocide.
"But I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using,”
Of course! Indiscriminately shelling a densely populated civilian population for weeks surely couldn't add up to such numbers! Let's just split the difference and call it two or three.
Yes, Hamas is a terrorist organization, but Israel is a terrorist state. Civilians are caught in the middle because we allow the terror to continue.
Do NOT apologize for mass murder and coordinated, deliberate terror.
Meta has irreparably screwed the pooch with their entire ecosystem and I will not be buying any more of their products. The UX is a major part of that, too.
Right now I’m hoping Valve re-enters the field at some point. I expect Apple Vision to be great, but it’s out of reach for most people and who knows how the walled garden will hamper key use-cases (like connecting to a PC).

I hope to the gaming gods that Squadron 42 can recapture the feelings that the old Freespace games did. The desperation, the feeling like you are part of something... nobody else has even TRIED to do anything like that since.
