First of all:
I hope your health improves. While I tend to not read the entirety of your writeups, I always skim them and then read the details on topics that are interesting. It would be a shame to not find your posts on lemmy anymore, as I prefer the interaction over a microblogging service like mastodon.
as for your question
…have you picked up any games? What have you bought,
I have picked up:
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for 3,99€
Supermoves for 0,77€
Mirage Feathers for 2,99€
a bunch of DLC for Vampire Survivors.
Crash Bandicoot is at an all-time-low price, if you haven’t picked it up in a humblebundle years ago, now might be your chance.
Another game I can recommend is “Beyond: Two Souls”, which is available for 1,99€ on Steam. It’s a great story driven game, with multiple endings and great acting. You might also want to get “Detroit: Become Human”, a very similar title in terms of gameplay.

I played so much SoT back around 2019/2020! Was such a blast just hanging out on the seas.
I agree with your comment about the water, it really is beautiful.
I know folks have mentioned disliking the pvp aspect and believe me I get it - I was never particularly good at it especially in close encounters. But I will say some of the most genuinely exciting memories I have are of those times when we had a boatload of loot with some pirates hot on our tail and managed to get away with it.
The crew I played with eventually moved on to other things but I still miss it now and then.
Urgh, every sale season I see people that don’t know any better post sales for Disco Elysium and I’m obligated to encourage people to pirate it instead
I discovered Prey (2017) a few years back. It is so my shit.
It’s probably the worst named game of all time. It’s essentially a sequel to System Shock 2 and Bioshock. Should have been called Xenoshock or something because it’s generic name is nothing like the really original game underneath.
You are fully in the driver’s seat, with a crazy amount of freedom in how you want to get from one section of the space station to the next.
The opening scene, once I discovered the reality behind the scenes, I was hooked.
I was about to say this. I created !flipping to discuss selling on various platforms and I’ve sold plenty of boxes. One person sent me pics of their many copies of windows 98, 95, etc. boxes, like a disturbing amount.
I can’t throw boxes away because I’ve moved so many times to avoid rising rental costs. I’m packing again right now, and it’s really nice to have the little inserts that kind of stabilize the consoles in their boxes
Yeah, the person in the picture seems to either not move often or not resell things. I've moved quite a bit and having the boxes for all my things has helped immensely. Instead of buying new boxes for everything, trying to fit stuff in there, unpacking and throwing away all boxes because "somebody held my hand", I just reuse.
In the past 14 years, ever since becoming an adult, I have had to move 11 different times. I have learned just how useful good boxes are. I can’t get rid of them, I’m gonna need them when I move again next year.
It’s crazy how strongly the brain tries to protect us from old stresses, without us being consciously aware of it.
I’m glad you don’t need to move every year anymore! It’s one of those normalized things that truly shouldn’t be. I mean, it’s not the avocado toast that’s keeping homeownership out of reach, it’s the constant moving/application/deposit/etc fees we face so often
Wish i could get a hold on these manuals to switch games but after looking some it seem quite hard. Would love to print for my own use and for something to my child to look at just like I did when I were younger. Oh well.
Sad to hear about the condition and I hope you get well. Why do these things happen to good people who make a change in the world?
For a brief moment, I installed my newly purchased copy of Kerbal Space Program onto my laptop and now I just need to learn the controls for building rockets. That single thing is really holding me back from being the ultimate rocket building idiot.
Also got back into Gemcraft: Frostborn Wrath recently.
Otherwise I really haven’t been playing many games outside of maybe PVZ2 Reflourished on my phone or the odd game of Feudal Tactics on my laptop while waiting for something to finish.
I’m about halfway through Pentiment and I’m not sure what to think of it. There are lots of things I love about it: the art, the characters, the writing (mostly) and the historical research that’s gone into making it. All the running around and back tracking hasn’t been great. The first murder was also very unsatisfying, and it’s only now that I realise that that was the point. And I’m not sure what to think of that. It’s a strange game, with its central message seemingly being how powerless we are in the face of history and how restricted we are in our lives. Or at least people were back then. I’ll probably have to wait until I finish for my full judgement of it though.
I also snagged Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree on the Steam summer sale at 25% off. As a passionate VTM: Bloodlines fan I’ve been waiting for a reason to buy it. I’ve felt obliged to check it out as it was also written by Brian Mitsoda. Plus the game itself looked interesting. I’ve only just started playing it, but I’m enjoying it so far. The writing seems okay (not Bloodlines level) but the presentation is beautiful. I really like the splash art for characters and the cutscenes. It’s a Metroidvania Soulslike with a skill tree inspired by Path of Exile, and I can already tell I’ll have a lot of fun crafting builds here. Probably huge replayability too. The combat has felt solid so far, but I’m only at the beginning.
