Re: Omori, I think it's worth going through for a few more hours. I think there's this big expectation after Undertale for all of the "quirky Earthbound inspired depression RPG's" to be these constantly subversive and clever works, and Omori is a bit more sincere and straightforward than a lot of its contemporaries. Stuff like STAB YOURSELF WITH THE KNIFE seem like they should be big moments the game is looking to get a reaction out of you for being EDGY and SO DEEP, but I find those contribute more to a whole than being particularly shocking in and of itself (definitely thought it was overly edgy the first time I played, as well). The game shows its hand at how it's gonna progress after you clear the first major area (the space-themed one), and I think that's the point where you can probably get a more definitive grasp on whether you vibe with Omori's storytelling. Because it's going for a particular theme, and I think it tells a story with that theme in a very nice, if somewhat "webcomic" if that makes any sense for writing style, way. Don't think it's something that'll resonate with everyone, but I found it pleasant enough and there were a few moments that I really loved and made me value the game pretty highly. Like, low Top 100 for me, probably.

And nah, Age of Calamity chugs no matter what Switch you're playing it on. It can run at a smooth framerate... just not on any version of the Switch, ever.
