Flatmate bought a switch and we've been playing quite a bit of Mario Kart 8. It's just nice to play a game that you don't need to get 'in the zone' to enjoy. The switch controller setup is really good too.

#62Text adventures. It's not out yet, but I've been following the development of taustation which will be an in-browser space adventure using text as a medium to tell the story. It is multiplayer of course. There are a few games like this within a fantasy setting, but none Scifi that I've seen. The team does bi-monthly blog post updates going over everything from in game lore to artwork to code testing and architecture.…
Any other text-based games you'd care to recommend? I'm a fan of Counterfeit Monkey, Spider and Web, and a few particularly good Choice of Games games, like Lost Heir and Choice of the Deathless.

Sounds like you're in the know! Andrew Plotkin(spider and web guy) did one for Linux/iOS/Android recently called Hadean Lands that got good reviews. I'm a big fan of most of Emily Short's work (Bronze was good if you like Beauty and the Beast with a bizarre plot line). I also really really liked City of Secrets as the storyline was riveting although I did get stuck at one point and can't find a good walkthrough. Alabaster to me was a beautiful & short work of art. Good stuff.
