Really glad you both suggested this game!

Am having an absolute blast playing!!!

I wanted to love Soma, I tried playing twice now. I live for the ocean, so this should be right up my alley. But to be fair I never passed the apartment at the start.

I reaaaaally should stick with it and try again. Thanks for reminding me of my shame!

Wow, thank you so much for this! So much in this I wanted to see, I really appreciate the time you took!

I adore diving. I actually moved around the world for 11 months to teach diving after my PADI IDC. So you’d think Subnautica would be tailor-made for me.

It just didn’t really explain what I needed to do. I don’t need my hand held in games, but by the time I figured out what I needed, the realization was a whole lot of upkeep and ‘menial tasks’ to progress. If that makes sense. I couldn’t pass the early game to get to the story and progress. This is all on me, but I never enjoyed Minecraft, so that whole genre is maybe not for me. I wish I did, it looks so lovely.

Abzu though, that was amazing!

I’ve got Outer Wilds downloading right now. I keep reading and seeing comments and posts telling me how much I’ll love it, so I have to have faith (like Dutch kept telling me -_-), thanks for reminding me about this one. It seems quirky and to have its own style, I think I’ll like this!

(P.s. is Spiritfarer harrowingly sad? I see a lot that this game needs a box of tissues and a teddy bear nearby when playing through, that’s why I haven’t jumped to it yet!)

I tried Hades! I loved the art and the world, but the idea of progressing only a little each time and dying (often) was a turn off to me.

The world they made though? Amazing! Thanks for these suggestions, I’ll check them all out!

After Snowden’s efforts at showing what America was capable of nearly 10 years ago, I’m not at all interested in letting that country have my data

I see this weird Death March thing everywhere. I replayed through recently on the easiest setting (story and sword, I think its called?) and had a GREAT time.

If you ever feel the urge, I can’t recommend it enough. The first couple hours of playing are like an extended tutorial. The entirety of White Orchid is a learning zone, really.

As everyone says, once you reach the Bloody Baron quest, you see just how amazing the game and the writing can be!

I’ve never heard of this, but I love podcasts.

Isn’t this similar to the totally free AntennaPod from f-droid?

I’m done.

The subs I moderated have either gone dark, or are going dark in the next ciuple days.

And with that I let the mod teams I was a part of know that I am moving on. I hate what reddit did to the community, and my time feels better spent where it will be appreciated.
