Electric Challenge 2020 - Stage 13: a game you like to play with friends

For electric_challenge.

Hmm! I talk about games with friends a lot offline and on social media etc, but don't tend to play games with friends. Playing with other people has tended to involve a lot of them going "Why are you so bad at this D:" which isn't fun for anyone. I like the fact that other people are around in MMOs, but tend to keep to myself most of the time.

I just started playing the MMO Final Fantasy 14, and specifically joined a server some of my friends are on, but right now am doing early level basic stuff by myself. sami did come say hi and show me her very shiny axe :) I'm a bit self conscious about being incompetently noobish when I do end up playing with other people, but everyone's been been very nice in the discord etc and it's not like they'll actually die if I screw up.

I mostly played Glitch solo but visited and hung out with friends a little, we'd give each other stuff and admire each other's houses etc. That was probably the best experience I've had playing with friends.

Electric Challenge 2020 - Stage 14: an upcoming game you're excited for

For electric_challenge.

You'd think the answer would be "Dragon Age 4" but...*sighs and gestures towards the dumpster fire Bioware has become*

So I can't think of any games I'm excited for. But here's two that sound promising:

Dragon Age's original lead writer David Gaider's next project Chorus: An Adventure Musical sounds intriguing. It's an interactive musical whose branching narrative will be told through song.

Necrobarista is another interactive story, a cool looking Australian fantasy visual novel about necromancer baristas in Melbourne.
