To have such a towering generative experience so skilfully and seamlessly integrated with some of the best prose and storytelling to hit games, ever, is such a profound cultural achievement it beggars belief.
No game in 2024 left my jaw on the floor anywhere near as often as Qud.
Fantastic episode! I loved this, but the one that had me shook was when you read the flavor text for the rock! Who is out there making you rethink everything with a one liner about a rock??
