    Roadwarden

    Picked that up in the Dice & Destiny current bundle. It’s a take on old school text based RPG. I like it so far. It’s really more like an interactive book which is what I was after. Playing lay back on the couch with Moonlight

    Citizen Sleeper

    Text based RPG too. Barely touched as it came in the bundle too. I just don’t want to run 2 story game at the same time. This one is more gamy with dice placement. There seems to be just more mechanics and things to manage. Story looks promising :D

    Pacer

    Dug out Pacer, an antigravity racing game I never touched for some reasons (backed on Kickstarter). Think WipEout, F-Zero, Redout… It’s cool. It scratches my WipeEout itch, but its not at the same level of polish, even if it’s made by the same people.

    It’s not 100% accurate though. It’s app dependant, sometimes it work (most of the time) but in some app it won’t (office?)

    I got Pure Text from Windows Store. Bind it to ctrl+shift+v and if now works everywhere, 100% of the time. That’s the only feature of the app.

    The fact that I was interested in the Zenfone 10 because it was small is kinda crazy. It’s 5.92"… We’re lost. I was looking to replace my “small” Pixel 4a which was 5.8".

    I really wouldn’t mind a phone between 5/5.5. But that wouldn’t sell. That’s why they disappeared.

    If people are offered a 5.5 VS a 5.7, they’ll choose the 5.7. Between a 5.7 and a 5.9, they’ll choose the 5.9… That’s how we got here. Just sales numbers.

    Good advice. Solo player games where you actually buy them is usually a safe bet. If it’s free, they’ll want your money later or make it an impossible grind. It’s a bit of the same on the mobile side so OP is probably aware.

    You can make some searches about good games for new comers because of all the games I’m currently playing, none would be a good start.

    Done recently that could work :

    Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s turn by turn so not reliant on mechanical skills. Can be played on concoles or pc with keyboard or controller. The story is so amazing. The acting, the branching, the choices… Loved it.

    Frostpunk. Game where you try to save people gathered around a generator cause the earth is now ice cold. You manage ressources and tech to meet people expectations. They’ll have demands but you can’t say yes to everything. Hard choice. Can be kinda hard but you just start over the scenario with the knowledge you just got. It’s mostly just figuring things out…

    Skyrim? I liked the story / setting. I don’t know if that aged alright or if there’s something better in the same genre that could be welcoming. I remember that it wasn’t particularly hard. On easy it should be more focused on the story / immersion.

    Didn’t know, thx for that. I was complaining about discover weekly cause it’s too long between refreshes.

    I just started using the AI playlist as an alternative. You can give prompts “Like this playlist, bands I never heard” or “New bands only”. The 2-3 times I’ve used it worked alright, the songs were quite fitting the prompt. I just didn’t hear any bangers in there so I don’t know what to think about it.
