I am eyeing Dave the Diver and The Forgotten City. I am just waiting to get my OLED Deck and start playing them.

I don't really need any new game as I have a substantial backlog and hopefully with the Deck I will start to clear it.

I am already looking forward to the holidays.

I went into The Forgotten City completely blind and found it to be very compelling and creative experience that I didn't want to stop playing. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to buy it!

Dave the diver is a blast. The premise is simple and fun but it's constantly evolving and building on what's there with a charming cast of characters and events. Id highly recommend it.

Do not buy Dave the Diver as it is published by Nexon.

Some quick searches suggest Nexon having a pretty poor reputation on account of aggressive micro transactions/loot boxes. That is pretty shitty behavior for sure.

I wonder if purchasing a game like DtD, a game without such poison, is helpful to send a message that people like games without these predatory tactics.

Who am I kidding? It wouldn't change anything.
