Even built in "verbatim" features in search engines dont do shit anymore. I want a button where if there are few results for the phrase I searched it shows me exactly what there is and if there are no results it shows me nothing and if it dares to suggest anything else or display a sponsored link or nearest match garbage it triggers a torture chip implanted in the spine of every google executive. I dont mean this would be a google feature i mean the google execs in particular get tortured no matter which search engine I was using.

When I return a library book, I make sure to walk there holding it in my hands instead of in my bag. This is enrichment before it gets returned to the cold limbo of the stacks

Sorry for the confusion! CrossCode is an RPG that takes place inside of a fictional MMORPG.

I'm gonna use this post to recommend good (in my opinion) video games with female leads and little to no misogyny.

Feel free to add your own prefered games if you want as well.

1. Hellblade, Senua's Sacrifice

This game is dark, brutal and emotional. It won't be everyone's cup of tea because it is a strange game and sometimes scary. But I absolutely loved it.

Our main character is a warrior on a quest to save her lover's soul. He has died and she believes she can bring him back by confronting the goddess who guards the underworld, Hela (who looks terrific by the way, but I won't spoil it).

To do this she has to fight northern gods and other dark creatures, but mostly her own mental illness and grief.

She suffers from schizophrenia and through her we experience all the symptoms which can be disturbing. Is it mythology or insanity? You're never really sure. She also has to overcome her father's negative influence. But she is determined and nothing can stop her.

The game won 5 BAFTA awards for best acting performance, best audio, most impactful game, best british game and best artistic achievement.

Hellblade 2 is currently being produced.

Ohhh this post is so up my alley. I'm always looking for more video game recs, especially ones with female protags. I'd also love to add some of my own personal favorites!

Crosscode (trailer)

You wake up in a strange world with no memories and no voice. You're quickly taught how to interact with the world and are forced to rely on the people around you to inform you of who you are and what your story is. It's quickly revealed that you are a player in an MMORPG, where you will have to play the game to unlock your hidden past.

You play as Lea, a silent protagonist who still manages to have a very strong voice throughout the game. You quickly pick up friends along the way, the first of them being Emilie, and you immediately grow a close connection to her. The game has a 2D top-down retro playstyle, with balanced combat and complex puzzles that take inspiration from zelda dungeons. The game's story unfolds throughout the course of multiple chapters, with (in my opinion) fantastic pacing and wonderful twists and turns. Lea is such an amazing character and I think going in completely blind for this game, so you can experience the world alongside her, is an experience I'll always recommend.

Side note: I know nothing about MMORPGS, so if you aren't a fan of them, that's absolutely not a game-breaker. This game also has a free demo on steam! So absolutely go check it out, it is one of my faves and I can't recommend it enough.

2. Dandara: Trials of Fear (trailer)

"In a bizarre universe where the oppressed are on the brink of oblivion, Dandara has awoken to reshape the world." (Steam synopsis)

Dandara is a 2D metroidvania platformer with unique gravity mechanics that I find super satisfying to play with. The main character and themes of the game are based off of Dandara, a Brazilian warrior who spent her life fighting against slavery. (Though the game doesn't have any explicit themes of slavery, and takes place in a sci-fi, distopian-esque separate world). The game was developed by brazilian studio, Long Hat House.

It's currently on sale on steam for 70% off!

3. Mutazione (trailer)

You play as Kai, a young girl who is leaving her hometown to visit and care for her sick grandfather, on the island he resides on. The island was hit by a meteor some decades ago, leaving many of the remaining inhabitants mutated. The town, though mostly recovered, is still dealing with the damage that comes from a life-changing apocalypse.

Playing as Kai, you'll get to interact with the townsfolk and learn their stories, explore the beautiful and mysterious island around you, as well as spend time collecting seeds and planting in the garden outside of your grandfather's house.

It's a super beautiful game that balances themes of grief, loss of community/family, regrowth, and hope.

(Note: While this game doesn't have romance, Kai is a lesbian who explicitly shows interest in women in this game)

4. Oxenfree (trailer)

(Last one, I promise)

You play as Alex! You're a teenager and you're going to an overnight island party with your best friend, Ren, and your new stepbrother, Jonas. Things are going pretty well (that is to say, super awkwardly) until you and Jonas venture into an old cave system on the island and accidentally open up what is probably a rift in reality, resulting in a night even more terrible than the one you were already dealing with (whoops!). It's now up to you to save your friends, and the choices you make have a direct impact on how things end.

You'll take Jonas with you throughout parts of the adventure, as well as the other friends you were at the island with. While dealing with the overarching threat to your lives, you'll get to know the rest of the characters and help (or not help) them deal with interpersonal conflicts, along with conflicts of your own.

This game is a supernatural thriller with very cool voice acting, as well as an unsettling (but awesome) new game plus. It also has a sequel! (That I have yet to play, but it's exciting nonetheless).

----------------

Okay! That's all I've got, sorry if that's a lot or too many or not what you were looking for! All these games are near and dear to my heart, and I do recommend all of them if you find yourself intrigued by what I've written. (If they aren't a genre you like, no hard feelings).

That being said, if you had to play one game from my list, I would 100% recommend Crosscode!!! I could gush about it forever and it doesn't get nearly the amount of love and attention it deserves.

Also, if you play any of the games I mentioned, or have played them, or want to play them but aren't sure you'll like them, then please please message me!! I'd love to talk about this more.

I'm gonna use this post to recommend good (in my opinion) video games with female leads and little to no misogyny.

Feel free to add your own prefered games if you want as well.
