    I’ve been playing quasimorph, mtg arena, and dragons dogma dark arisen (late to the party there).

    My favorite Ludo-hauntology is if Dragon Age had more than one good game in the series, origins alone is my favorite series. I also have discovered the Like A Dragon series and appreciate the compassionate way it portrays working class, un-housed peoples, and everyone else on the periphery of society.

    The last game I finished I was BG3, it was awesome how reactive it is.

      Hauntology?

      What’s that?

      I know what “ludo” means (video games or games in general). Not sure what hauntology is but I’ve heard the term. I’ll look it up but I also want to know what it is in your own words, comrade.

        It’s from Derrida. It’s basically a past vision of the future that never came to pass which we now can look backwards at with familiarity for yet it continues to haunt the culture.
