Yes. Torchlight 2 will always hold a place in my heart for helping me keep it together when my father died.

Read that as 'older, gamer female' and almost spat out my cuppa.

Speaking of discussing last night's tv sort of thing, we're playing Octopath II together at the moment. We'll say things over dinner like 'you going to use Osvald?' 'think we should nick his skills and give them to the cleric?'. It's the same as 'do you think Walter White will get caught?'

Octopath II is such an underrated game.

I've already played it once but it's fun watching LunchJnr play it because his play style is SO different to mine (he's better at it which is enraging).

Beautiful soundtrack as well. That's another thing, video game music composition is incredible.

Oh it’s amazing. Just a beautiful journey :)

And the soundtrack is a joy.

It absolutely is.

To both of those.

And while I'm here, Ace Attorney (mainly the first series) is huge fun to play with someone. Godot for the win (until he turned into a misogynist at the end. Still annoyed by that).
