It’s… *bellows in best matron voice* Richaaaard!

Data corruption, it’s a bunch of garbled stuff that I can’t make heads or tails off.

Miraculously, everything keeps working. So I don’t dare to interfere because it might crash the system :)

Hey, it’s that thing I made/generated/whatever.

I thought you guys had a rule against AI stuff?

This looks strangely wholesome to me. So nice to see him have a friend

A lot of nice suggestions already, I’d like to add the Sorcery! games if you don’t mind reading and enjoy exploring.
I personally really loved the world it portrayed and the tried so many different ways to finish the story.
Also, it has great maps, and I love maps :)

I’m hearing this in my head right now, thanks for that.

No, seriously, thanks. It’s a big improvement :)

Happy Birthday!
Sorry to hear about your birthday money, I hope you’ll still get to have nice day in spite of it!

Not enby but always happy with a new name :)

I played it but it was just ok. It was mostly fun to mess around in for short periods, but most of the story missions were meh. The one about the AI designer’s house (Coming Home) was interesting though.

I really don’t know what kind of games you like, I love loooooooong RPG’s myself and can recommend Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous if you’re happy to invest a big chunk of your time. Just turn down the difficulty and enjoy the story if the stats are mind boggling (I know I did). Creating the character you want to be is so much more fun than worrying if you’re powerful enough to defeat the final boss.
The Pillars of Eternity games are also RPG’s who’s story I really enjoyed.

Oh, one more. I really enjoyed Roadwarden as well. But that’s more of a visual novel kind of game.

Those look really comfy :)

You’re welcome! :)

Not the OP, but this is in Valkenburg, The Netherlands. In a cave attraction called Mergelrijk.

It’s quite fun, they had several more of them. I’d share photos but my kids are in all of them :)

You’re technically right. But I think we both know that I meant regular gun shooty bits, not portal gun shooty bits :)

Mirror’s edge still had shooty bits if you wanted to. But of course the proper play-through is the one where you take the 100% non-lethal approach :)

Hmmm… The plot of the first one has nothing to do with the second. But you do get a lot of world building and some characters are properly introduced in the first.
I guess you should play the first as well if you want the best experience. It’s also a good game, though the puzzles are a little more… frustrating. But it’s nothing a good walkthrough can’t solve :)

At risk of posting twice but, I had to add this one as well:
Kyrandia 2: The Hand of Fate
A point-and-click adventure game. It was funny, colorful, and Zanthia is still awesome :) Made by Westwood of all people. It makes some references to the first, but you could play it on its own.

King’s Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella
One of my most favorite King’s Quest games. And one of the first games I remember playing with a proper female lead.

I should really play this game again some time.
Still have a lot of fond memories playing this with my brother when I was little, we played the campaign together if I remember correctly? That was a thing you could do, right? (I guess those memories are fond but not very clear :)

Two come to mind.
First is Monkey Island. It's the first game I ever finished all by myself. The opening scene with the theme music still gives me goosebumps.
The second is Daggerfall, the first game I devoted an ungodly amount of hours to. I spend all my time exploring every nook and cranny of that world, playing the tourist, borrowing huge amounts of money in some tiny country with no intend on paying back, splurging that money on houses, boats, clothes, armor and whatever else I wanted :)

Something extremely gross and disgusting. Please don’t turn me into food.
