I didn't like Unity's incredible amount of busywork, I thought that was awful. And Far Cry 3 gating abilities behind a main story I didn't care about. And Blood Dragon being kinda lame. Otherwise, I have good memories of what's there.

Yeah.
Syndicate is pretty good, too. And Far Cry 4 was damned great, even if it has Too Much Content syndrome.
Next time I think I'll grab a cut that doesn't have a big fat cap so more of the high heat works toward crust rather than rendering- plus that way it means less time on the heat and an even more uniform doneness

So guys my hunger for mystery games led a friend to recommend me Black Closet, an indie game on Steam, and....it's pretty great!
You are the student council president at a fancy all-girls private boarding school and your job is to prevent scandals from ruining the school's reputation by solving problems and menacing troublemakers. You're like half Veronica Mars and half Gestapo.
The game generates cases procedurally. A girl might have run away, or school supplies could be going missing, or someone is spreading gossip, or a g-g-ghost is haunting the dorm. And there are more serious problems, like drugs or suicide threats. Each species of problem has several subtypes - sometimes the suicidal girl is depressed about a breakup, sometimes about a test, other times she's the victim of malicious gossip from one of her friends or nother ome at all was at fault and it's all a big misunderstanding.
You send your Student Council minions to question witnesses, search crime scenes, tail suspects, harass troublemakers, and so forth. Your friends have stats that make each of them more likely to succeed at certain jobs, and those skills can be raised through experience. You can't take too many school days to work a case, though, or events will build to a disastrous climax (the billionaire alum's daughter fails her big test, someone ODs, the stolen selfies are posted online).
It actually works! I didn't think procedural mystery generation was possible, but this game cracks it by turning it into, effectively, a worker-placement puzzle. But the semantic content isn't just fluff; you have to pay attention to the text to figure out what you're doing. They aren't hopelessly divorced from one another.
There's also an overarching, non-procedural story involving you, your friends, death threats, and a conspiracy to destroy the school. And your friends can be chatted to and have their own stories and wuestlines (and romances).
I was super skeptical when my bro suggested this, because the screenshots made it look like anime lesbian high school porn simulator 3000, but it's a completely legit, addictive, and well-written little game so far. I recommend it!

Watch Dogs is an abomination, though.
Oh, I forgot about that one. The 4 hours I played wasn't good; seemed to a have few interesting but half baked ideas. I hear there might be a sequel announced/released this year, so I might be down for that. They might also be going away from annual releases for AssCreed, which would be nice.
"Blameless Cleric" why are the names of other wizard schools in Harry Potter a thing im seeing people freak out about?
Sometime earlier yesterday or the day before, I think, she let out a bunch of never-before-seen information on Wizarding schools via pottermore. I'm sure you can imagine why this is kind of a huge deal!
Like, now we know that - Africa has the largest wizarding school in the world, Uagadou, which specializes in WANDLESS MAGIC which is SUPER FUCKING COOL and they take students from all over the continent! And there was a bunch of other info too, including new stuff about Beauxbatons and and Durmstrang.
But ofc, the thing you're probably seeing the MOST freaking out about is info she's been teasing forever
The American academy of Magic is... Ilvermorny
Apparently it was started by indigenous people which is pretty cool

What kind of gameplay does that have?
sort of a visual novel story, but each day you can train in different skills and change your girls mood and stuff.
Since you have no particular way of knowing what skills you are actually going to need until it happens, it tends to encourage a strangely rogue-like focus on lots of failures and replays.
It is really super charming.

I ordered some stuff last week from a place and I didn't notice one of the things was from a secondary vendor. So it took a full week before they even started shipping the package. I go to check the tracking and the thing left Baltimore yesterday afternoon, but they claim it'll be here tomorrow. I don't believe them. It takes at least a day for anything to get here from Spokane, let alone all the way across the country.

LLTQ is broadly similar to Black Closet, but without procedural mechanics and without minions.
You improve the main character's stats over time and the pre-set storyline can fork in a few different ways depending on your stats and on how you decide to resolve conversations and events.
There are lots of ways to die—assassinations, bad luck, reckless decisions—so for a while you focus on learning how to avoid the fatal endings.
Personally, LLTQ was a bit of a grind: oh, I didn't train [x] to level [y] so now the game ends and it's time to click my way back to a similar-but-slightly-different game state.
I liked LLTQ alright, but I liked the gameplay and ambience and storytelling of Black Closet much better.
