I've been replaying a lot of the classics recently, and just like with Combs when I rewatch a Star Trek series, I keep finding myself saying "fuck, that's him too?"

Playing Fallout, there's Jim as the main voice of The Master.

Playing the original Baldur's Gate trilogy, there's Jim as Minsc, Gorion, Mulahey, and a bunch of other people.

Taking a break to test out some character builds in Icewind Dale? Fuck me, there's Jim as Hrothgar.

Like I know he's one of the most prolific voice actors, especially of that era, but I didn't realize how entwined he was with that specific genre.

WHY IS ALL THE BRIDGE CREW SO FUCKING GORGEOUS?!

My god, I have to rewind all the time to catch the plot because I'm just so distracted by how goddamn stunning someone is. And all in different ways.

"Shit, what did they say? I was imagining how soft M'Benga's beard is."

"Sorry can we go back? I was thinking about receiving disciplinary action from La'an."

To quote one Beckett Mariner, "I was thoroughly unprepared for how hot young Spock was going to be.” But like, all of them.

I've never really played any porn games more hardcore than Baldur's Gate 3 before, but you remember a couple weeks ago when GOG gave away those NSFW games, as a direct response to the whole thing?

Well I claimed the bundle just to boost their numbers (because censorship is bullshit), but recently I needed a low-difficulty gaming distraction, so I checked a few of them out, and... some of them are kind of good?

Like first off you have to be okay with visual novels (usually), but if you're cool with that, some of them actually have some compelling characters, and occasionally even good gameplay in between all the fucking and whatnot.

Leap of Love is amusing, kind of adorable when it comes to the not-sex stuff, and charming. It is also a game where you (a former frog) can marry and simultaneously bed 3 princesses and their stepmother after deposing of the evil king. My brain is still trying to reconcile this.

Huniepop is one of the best match 3 puzzle games I've ever played, with a chill as hell soundtrack. Also a scantily-clad foul-mouthed love fairy wants you to fuck every woman in a 5 mile radius who can fog a mirror.

And Crom help me, when I finished... sigh... Fetish Locator Week 1, I actually cared enough about some of the characters to buy the next one.

The point is, some of these games have more depth and value than I'd been led to believe, and I wouldn't have known that if the censorship thing hadn't started that chain of events. So congrats censorship people, and honestly thanks, I guess? Completely the opposite of your intended effect. Task failed successfully.

I liked Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, but I haven't played them since PS2 was current. So I was thinking about grabbing them before the steam sale ends, but I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and get the whole "integrum masterpiece" collection.

I've heard 3 doesn't really hold up to 2 at all, but is it worth it just for a conclusion to the story arc?

...the fuck?

Or I suppose you could be some kind of crazy person who switches it up per game.

I assume you three-monitor people use the middle one, but I'd be interested to hear if that's the case?

Like I bet if alcohol was something you had to snort, or just like a pill you take, I think a lot of people might not dig it as much.
