The games were frustrating. While in PbtA i just rolled 2d6 and the GM checked the move to know what more or less happens, in FitD we constantly had to check our char sheets, our hideout/base sheets, count and use meta-currencies, make sure we do X and not Y in the current phase etc.
I was a huge fan of PbtA in its old days. Then Blades in the Dark came out and the whole Forged in the Dark movement. I... hated every game I played. Each session felt like a heavily structured board game. Hard to explain.
We only ran a short and chaotic full-improv adventure, to test the translation and find typos. The players were a group of scavengers, searching for a lost data-cache in the desolate Tirol mountains. You can get the game here: fari-rpgs.itch.io/wastewalkers

Ok, this is surprising. Last I checked, several gaming news channels posted, how Astro Bot is a commercial failure. I've seen a lot of streamers play it after that, maybe that helped?
Sony wanted to do Astro Bot. His tech-demo on PS5 and his new game got A LOT of praise, for being a "no-bullshit" platformer like in the old days. Aaaaand nobody bought it.
From what I was told, they fixed the game, and right now they are just adding more content. The average reviews changed to Very Positive since then.
He just wants friends to play [other game] with him :-(
The worst feeling, when you get flooded with ttrpg ideas at work, and you can't just bust open your notebook and start writing.
Yeah it was one of those "ghibli inspired" 5e supplements. I only recall some pages with cute and fluffy creatures, descriptions suggesting that they are friendly, and right next to them - stat block with special attacks and XP for killing them.
Its misused now by absolute degenerates, but I have no idea how to describe the type of people my wife currently met at work. Like... they literally have zero interests outside work, one of them has one year of surplus free days, bc she thinks that people with hobbies and free time are freaks.
