Is this a straight buy? I had it wish listed since the last mention on the pod, it sounded amazing

jesseguarascia.com•88 days ago

I copped it instantly because I loved it. Lemme put some hours in and I'll report back to you 🫡 Probably won't come up on the pod until next year

Have you suggested to the Noclip Crew about leaving the vote and the podcasts for next month? It would be more fair for games like these, like you mentioned earlier, that are simply forgotten if they come out in December. You'd also have more time to play games that came out this year.

We just recorded the first episode yesterday! Plus, despite my personal disagreement, I can acknowledge the business reasons for doing it. While it's certainly more fair, if it didn't matter then everyone wouldn't do it this way.

I think that it's a premise based on old traditions and reasons, but I guess I'll always be one of the few people that gets triggered by this.

But imagine for example if Indiana Jones is one of the greatest games ever and it's not eligible now and is forgotten next year. That's very unfair.

Nah I'm right there with you it bugs the crap outta me and I always feel bad when games lose out on that inclusion simply because they released outside of the window for coverage. Indiana Jones is an especially weird case, but I imagine it'll end up on a few lists that come out this year.

Called it! Now we'll see how much it's recognized in awards.

Haha yeah let's say I knew this would happen 🤥

I just saw this and I JUST started playing Lunacid.

*heaps it onto the backlog*

You ruined my life with Solitomb so I'm glad I can continue to return the favour

I’m just happy his game is getting some good traffic! Maybe in part thanks to you guys.

Slipways, his previous game, is one of my favorite distillations of a grand strategy game.

Here’s to the next life ruining game!
