Can't narrow it down to 9 games that have left an indelible mark on my soul. Too few. 18 is probably too few as well but there's more wiggle room.

23 years later, finally played through Tribunal start to finish. It sucks, but I understand that from first hand experience rather than from osmosis. I won't be going back. I left the stupid sword(s) near the hole in the plaza, and Almalexia gets to live in this stick for eternity.

I went back. Argonian Dragoon do be working. The Elder Scrolls should have never lost mobility spells/spell schools. It is weaker for it.

There's every likelyhood that some of these Itch projects are poised to become lost media. If you own something that's long abandoned, download it now. You might end up having the only copy after this shit finishes burning down.

I would recommend Max the Elf, probably the least furry thing I'll be listing in my recommends tonight, but it has hilariously been suspended already. Based on another post I saw, it got flagged for violating rules against having real life humans in sex acts. When the game looks like this.

itch.io/updates/upda... I'm glad we know. But the important bit for me is, 'all developers' does not include Queers and filthy smut peddlers. We are not welcome.
