Real shame but that is the hellscape we are in.

If anyone hasn't played Hypnospace Outlaw? Do it. It is genuinely one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had. Went from "I'll give this a go before I hop in the car" to "I have pre-check. I can probably get to my gate on time..."

If you haven't heard about it? The premise is that you are a moderator for effectively geocities back in the 90s/00s. And your first (?) assignment is to investigate a kindergarten teacher who is accused of using copyrighted materials. And it escalates from there.

And it kind of escalates from there with a cast of characters that you mostly interact with through seeing what they posted on their websites and messages to each other. And it is a ridiculously heartfelt game that truly loves and understands its source material in a way that so few "nostalgia cash ins" actually do.

We have truly lost something Beautiful with Dreamsettler being binned.
