I'm late to comment but I actually feel MORE bored and MORE tired if I feel like the author's trying to sell TENSION!!!!!11! at me. Loudness just becomes bland noise to me.

I prefer to be drawn in by actually intriguing content that believes in itself. Of course, that's subjective to each reader…

Really, preordering Event Horizon is an investment, when you think about it.

I WANT TO! But no money 🫠

I want LoM and Suikoden I/II remasters, too, but all my entertainment these days has to be free, and all my pennies go in the book expenses piggybank.

Such good storytelling. Making sure that's lodged in your brain forever as the context for the rest of the game's events.

And I dunno if it's just us oldbies who think so, but IMO it stands the test of time in ways 3D oft doesn't. I'm really appreciative of "evergreen" writing, art, and design.

Final Fantasy Tactics is SO important, janky original translation and all.

My GOAT list would be different, but all these got into my brain like cordyceps. Spotting Suikoden II and going "YEAH, SUIKODEN II GENERATION! reminiscence.mid!!!"

NWN1 toolset probably had even more influence than the game, tbh. "Hey, *I* can make that??"

HECK, I should have included RPG Maker!

Trans Rights Readathon About the Author Afro-Indigenous Transmasc & gender expansive chaotic gay Intersectional + About the Book BIPOC Vampire Neurodivergent Trauma & Healing Mentally Ill Unique Cultural Backgrounds The illustrated bookcover of Awaken, My Love a gay gothic romance novel. It shows a brown vampire with red eyes and shoulder-length wavy black hair wearing antique black and white clothing while looking toward the viewer. He is holding a man in his hands. The man is pale with long beige hair, wearing white and cream colored clothing. He is in profile, looking up and gripping the vampire's shirt. There are split open pomegranates threaded through the burgundy title of the novel. In the background is a broken gothic window, and at the bottom are chains. The cover is in shades of reds, browns, mauves, and blacks.

I also made a little trope map to show you the representation of me as the author and Awaken, My Love as a whole.

Representation is extremely important to me and one of the reasons why I started writing in the first place.
