Lots of support already but I made it switch in December last year and no regrets. There’s a bit of a learning curve getting used to a new environment but the computer actually becomes a tool you can shape to your needs rather than changing how you work so your computer will do it.

Time to shill CrossCode again :)

I think the characters are phenomenally written and the plot is fun and has excellent ups and downs.

Good to know! I’ll add it to the ever growing list

Is the rest of the series good? I read the first one and thought it was pretty good but a reasonably well wrapped up story by the end

Book 4 is a bit slow but it picks up a lot after that.

That said don’t feel obligated to read something that Doesn’t interest you of course

Pain to me is not really that important a metric. Figure out where you think it’ll bring you the most joy. Most of mine are reasonably visible and I’m very glad for it. Tattoos are much less stigmatized than before.

As for durability, as long as you take good care of it while it heals and you wear sun screen after, most places other than hands and feet will likely do well. Less sun the better but that makes them hard to look at most of the time.

I use semimak mainly but use qwerty often and I feel like there’s no problem with using both at all. This is just my experience though. When I first learned Dvorak and dropped qwerty I completely lost qwerty but it came back really easily later when I started using it more

My issue with the silo trilogy is the end kinda drags on a little bit and you’re just waiting for it to come. Otherwise I really like those books. There’s also a show Thats Apparently really good too!

Haven’t had any issues with purely mail myself. I really like it

I’m getting more into using logseq. I like it fairly well. It’s not quite comfortable on mobile though so I’m sticking to obsidian there for the time being.

I’ve watched gameplay for SOTFS but I played vanilla and maybe both DLC I think.

Everything up to the lord vessel. Your goals and fast travel completely changes how you play the game and the new areas are less interesting imo

I would say a lot of the characters don’t suck in disco Elysium but I also didn’t have the best of times with that game. It was cool and I think the zanyness they peppered into the writing was fun to experience.

I had a really hard time getting into Hades. It’s very visually pleasing, the VA is great but the gameplay feels unimpressive. Seemed I only almost completed one run but it just wasn’t all that to me

I find dark souls 3 successfully condensed down the mechanics and gameplay of the souls games but delivered nothing in terms of exploration and world building.

The lore is DS2 is very good but the gameplay feels so horrendously unpolished and a lot of enemy placement feels really bad.

If I could play ds2 with ds3 gameplay it would potentially be able to rival the first half of DS1 for me

I love this game. Number 1 game I’ve ever played. Sooooo good. I love thr characters so much

Thank you for keeping these up. I enjoy seeing these threads a lot.

As to stardew, I’ve only played a little bit, never past the first season pretty much. I’m not one to play it solo and group session always die very quickly. When most of my friends are unemployed or don’t work full 9-5, it’s hard to coordinate with them.

That all said, I love this game and it does so much right and Dev is awesome. This game feels to me like a lot of what game companies should strive to be.

Perhaps other people have said it but this is the quote I’m familiar with:
“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”

Nice touch adding people’s comments in the original post. Doing gods work here

The one game I will never stop gushing praise for is crosscode. Not a short game by any means but it’s taken my number 1 spot handedly.

As an aside, pseudoregalia is an excellent game and I’m glad it made it onto this list or yours.

It’s on my list but I was not in the right head space when I started it. Currently loving animal well but I think tunic will work perfectly after I’m done with animal well!
