Celeste. Emotional narrative that seamlessly blends with the gameplay, which implementa never before seen accessibility configuration, enhanced by one of the best soundtracks ever. All while being cheap, indie, and one of the best speedrun games ever made

Can't forget immortality, which is shown pretty clearly in the movies with Bilbo and obviously Gollum, but also:
The Ring enhances the wearers "presence" and ability to influence others. Sam observes in the books how elf-like and majestic Frodo has become by the time they get to Mordor due to carrying the ring. At around the same time as this scene, we see Frodo impose himself on Gollum and the book remarks how powerful he looks and how his words seem to influence Gollum.
Later on, when Sam is carrying the Ring, this effect is noticed even more clearly when the orcs see his shadow not as that of a small hobbit but that of a powerful elf lord

The effects we've seen are on the pretty low race of hobbits, and would be even greater in someone of numenorian descent, but assuming it stops at those: Boromir would become an immortal, ultra charismatic leader who can also become invisible to everyone but the Wraiths and other spirits, which he can pretty easily take on 1v1

Finally got to play some Delta Green IRL with my SO. Was pretty fun, especially with the handouts. The palpable expectation when you take out another piece of paper for them to read is just incredible

Says who? Just look it up. What kind of world are you living in where people get hooked on drugs that don't even work? Hahahahaha

It should have been marketed as the moba you play casually with friends, and it would have done great

Yeah, people just don't really seem to care at all

The correlation between code quality and game quality is almost negative. When you're doing groundbreaking stuff or going for your own artistic vision it's tough to code well, even more so when you hit a jackpot and have to expand quickly (e.g. League spaghetti, Palworld)

Do you yell at waiters by any chance?

How will any system fjx this, though? There will always be disasters, hunger, war, crime...

There's something to be said about choosing not to care about some stuff, though. Being constantly contemplating every single crisis in the world and worrying equally about them all will be damaging to your mental health... And these days there are more pressing issues than the moths to me. It's not that I don't value them
