If I am looking for some existentially-tinged scifi/fantasy with like Thanatologists and souls being split and transmuted and recreated, crap like that, is Torment: Tides of Numenera good for that?

@Felix i think I remember that you’re a fan

edit: holy crap this game is still nearly $50

They use a high-baseline price strategy to make their discounts steeper; looks like they put it on sale for $10-$15 during midsummer and holiday sales:

The game is ok. Original Planescape is better but you might be better off poking into Tom Jubert’s stuff like The Swapper and Talos Principal.

Good suggestions, but I’ve already played those. I really liked The Swapper.

Oh, and it looks like Torment is on sale on gog.com right now through their current big sale. I’d be okay with a relatively mediocre successor to Planescape: Torment, but if it’s just generally kind of mediocre then that doesn’t sound worth it.

Whenever I try to play FFXIV or Destiny I never last long enough to get to all the cool stuff, i guess

you can last long enough if you have a group of selectbutton people to play with this i can almost promise

Next time I get the itch to grind, I will definitely return to one or the other and will join up with you all. It seems like an exciting year for both games. Been waiting for that abridged questing experience for the ARR content, and Destiny seems to be alive.

luckily The Cube has done here the hard pro-bono work of succinctly outlining your next Italian diaspora themed romhack

oh no, that coinage was a felix special as well

i should have known better

you need to play destiny first because they’re getting rid of like 5/6th of the game forever, catch it while you can
