    I thought Dagan Gera's switch was pretty amusing because Cal is chatting with him and Dagan's just casually taking apart his saber and turning the crystal red right in front of him.

    I played some Two Point Museum and really liked it so far. After trying the previous game (University), I felt that they'd tried something new but it didn't really work, so I was apprehensive about Museum, especially since University only released like 2 or 3 years ago and I didn't think they could have made a whole new installment in that time. Thankfully it's been an excellent iteration of the formula, although in some ways is more like a Zoo Tycoon type game (or I guess, the new Jurassic Park management games where you bring back DNA to make dinosaurs to display). The pacing of the experience is broken up a bit more so that you're not tempted to grind 3 star museums before you have all the game's tools in your toolbox, something I was guilty of in Hospital.
    Anyway, the point is that if you enjoyed Two Point Hospital and not 100% purely for Theme Hospital nostalgia, I'd recommend giving it a try when you find the opportunity.

    My other games right now are Avowed and Diplomacy is Not an Option. Avowed has been fun but I'm not too far in yet; honestly seems pretty laid back and easy for an RPG. Diplomacy is Not an Option has been brutal but fun. It's a strategy castle-defense game with a pretty simple scenario based campaign; it's just hard enough to be interesting. I think most people probably bounced off this one since I'm midway through the campaign and am receiving achievements with 2.5% global achievement rate.

    QC was one of my favs for a long time but the theme and direction shifts every few years as the author's values / perspectives on life changed meant that sometimes I felt like I was reading a different comic. If it wasn't in my 'read every day' tab I'd have probably dropped it a while back.

    My favorite not mentioned here is Gunnerkrigg Court. It's a longform comic I've been reading for years.
