Best capture I could get of the superhero leaderboards in #DispatchGame (and a pretty good shot of Visi, too). (Most of these characters are not people you'll meet in the story; the names are just for flavor.)

Just finished Dispatch and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Telltale-style, "choices matter" games.

You play as an out-of-commission superhero who takes a job as a dispatcher for a motley team of former supervillains on a collective redemption arc.

You have to suspend a lot of disbelief, but I think the writers did an amazing job. I was very invested.

I played on console, but suspect that the mouse/pointing device interface is probably better.

Also— WHO wrote Phenomeonomal (What the fuck this word is so SO hard for me to remember and pronounce and write) because that character is exquisitely written I don't think I stopped cackling every single time he opened his mouth but his best line BY FAR is the one about playing Magic the Gathering

I actually bought Dispatch last weekend because it was erroneously tagged “LGBT+” on Steam while looking for games similar to Boyfriend Dungeon. The whole thing was a rabbit hole: turns out getting assigned “LGBT+” tags by users is a tactic that homophobic users use to sink games by giving them “adult” tags that don’t apply (since homophobes consider even the most innocuous LGBT+ related media to be hardcore pornography). After talking about it with a friend, we found out he bought Dispatch for the exact same reason as me, thinking it was LGBT+ narrative game similar to a dating sim. (Steam has since removed the tag for me, I tried to get a screenshot of it later.)

Turns out Dispatch was fun despite the fairly standard heterosexual romance plots, so I wasn’t too bothered.

All in all: interesting post.

I tried to relax for the last few days which resulted into playing a few short games and listening to some old music, mainly Peter Gabriel and Pat Metheny.

Regarding games (all running smoothly on Steam Deck):

First is Dispatch - a lovely telltale-type of game about superheroes with a lot of influence from Critical Role folks (including voice acting). I love the first two episodes - next two will be available tomorrow. Really interested in how it all ends. And it's pretty darn good craftsmanship - no part of game really stands out as something unique, but together, it plays very well, like a well oiled machine. Maybe the minigames could've been harder and more complex - but it's a telltale-style game, so more of an interactive movie than a game (in a good way, ofc) 😃

Second is Between Horizons - an almost hard sci-fi detective pixel art game set on a generational starship. I have to say that at least two cases in the game are really not intuitive and should've been polished better, but overall, after really slow start and getting familiar with a little bit clunky interface, I couldn't stop until I solved all the mysteries. It reminded me of the good old days when I was reading Clarke, Lem, Asimov and others. My personal recommendation is to prepare a few papers and a pen to take notes to solve the cases properly 🙂

The third is Somerville - a really art-ish sci-fi game about alien invasion. To be honest, I loved the vibes and visuals, liked the sound design, but the story left me somewhat unfulfilled and I really think it could've been less generic and more science-fiction and complex. On the other hand, the whole story is told without any voice nor text, purely by action, visuals and sound, which is a nice feat and it's hard to pull-off right.

Overall, really nice five day vacation I had. Finally got some sleep and I managed not doing almost anything on my main projects.
