I play, almost exclusively, non-AAA games. Some gems, known and hidden:

• Autonauts and Autonauts Vs Piratebots - Cute automation games
• Spelunky - Elegantly simple and well executed platformer
• BPM: Bullets Per Minute - Rhythm FPS. Others have tried. None I have found have been as good.
• Immortal Redneck - FPS roguelite
• Ziggurat - FPS Roguelite
• Receiver II - Unique FPS roguelike. Every part of everything that moves is simulated. The hammer on your gun hits a firing pin which hits the primer on the cartridge. You can get stovepipes, misfires, double feeds, etc. You don't reload by hitting 'reload' but go through the full manual of arms in a shooter where the tolerances for failure are fairly slim.
• Valley - running game. The feeling of letting a hill propel your running to otherwise impossible speeds, bottled. Nice little story too.
• Dredge - Lovecraftian fishing game.
• Tunnet - lovecraftian network technician simulator. Build a network to allow communication between computers in an underground society with unspeakable horrors occasionally destroying your mind/body.
• Opus Magnum - Programming puzzles
• Vagante - roguelike with tight tolerances
• Ruiner - Cyberpunk slash n dash with a soundtrack half by Sidewalks and Skeletons. Very fun.
• Tails Noir - Detective story. Normally find the anthro thing a bit tiresome but this was pretty good. Well written.
• Elderborn - First person brawler
• Webbed - be a peacock spider. Rescue your lady spider. Help insects. Fight a bird. Dance.
• A Story About My Uncle - Movement game. Jump, dash, grapnel. Simple and elegant.
• Tormentor X Punisher - Top down twin stick shooter. Everything dies in one hit. All the enemies, and you.
• Tin Can - Survival game in which you try to keep up an escape pod long enough to be rescued, which is hard when it seems to have been made by the lowest bidder's lowest bidding subcontractor and maintained with all the loving care of a convenience store bathroom.

1st off, intelligent =/= eloquent.

That said, no one can play a character smarter than the real life DM. If you are dumb and the DM is smart, he can tell you what your character would do with more intelligence. If you are smart you can think of it yourself. However, if the DM is dumb, it won't matter how smart you or your character is, because the universe your character inhabits is made of stupid.

I need a voice changer like this for game nights

This doesn't even make sense to me as a question. I don't know why I would watch hours of a show I don't like on the off chance it might get better. There is so much entertainment available these days. Why would you torture yourself with something showing direct evidence of poor writing over something that could easily be better just by being 'okay?'

A lot of games are written pretty 'middle of the road' to get as much of a broad base as possible. A few stand out though.

The Last of Us really hit hard when I played it. I came to the end of that game feeling a little bit like I had an adoptive daughter, and feeling guilty that I had, to my mind, let her down.

There wasn't much 'writing' in it but Shadow of the Colossus also hit me pretty squarely in the chest.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was another that had some real power to the writing. Go listen to this setup (stop at 2:47)and tell me that isn't made to give goosebumps.

I've never played it but 'Pony Island' seems to have a pink color scheme and I'm guessing it's about ponies, so maybe?

It can be that. Never played Ghosts so I don't know about that one in particular. Some games do other things with it, but that sort of thing is absolutely usable to create that 'trapped' feeling.

Great, just in time for the number of shipments of imports needing to be distributed across the US to plummet...

Not telling you what the plan is, is part of the plan.

Until more recent times, a handful of hard boiled eggs was cheap, highly nutritious, and damned good with a sprinkle of salt/pepper/tajin/paprika/furikake or a dollop of mayo/sour creme/sriracha/nacho cheez/butter/etc. Potatoes are still pretty good in the same ways; just bake and let cool and you can add any of those same toppings and chow down at any time. Or get the smaller ones and airfry with a spritz of oil and salt. As long as you eat the skins, it's good nutritionally too.

While Trump seems morally capable of doing such things, nothing about his history has suggested he has the competence for it to be a coherent master plan.

Or is salad an undercooked and dry soup?
