Just saw your message. I ended up replaying the old spyro games in the remastered version and loved the nostalgia trip.

Tried to get into Outer Wilds again, stopped almost instantly because I just can’t figure out the movement.

Then I saw that Oxenfree 2 had released at some point, played that but wouldn’t recommend ( if you played the first game you already know the big “mystery” and the new smaller mystery isn’t that interesting)

I played chants of sennaar, loved it, fit the vibe perfectly. Would absolutely recommend!

I played planet of lana, it was somewhere between okay and good. Visually perfect gameplay a bit boring. Even for a short game it felt too long at the end.

Then I made the mistake of opening rimworld again and this became my (gaming) life again.

I don’t know if I played it before my post or after but Talos Principle 2 was perfect just like the first one.

Even if you cared about legacy, realistically, how many people are remembered for more than a few generations, if they are remembered at all?

Even the majority of the leaders of nations are only remembered by historians, people with a high interest in history and briefly by some students studying for their next test, and these will be mainly the leaders of their own country. Unless they did something exceptional good or bad.

And then there are a few exceptional high achieving writers, inventors, scientists and academics. Even within their field most become irrelevant and forgotten after a few decades.

Some ordinary people who did extraordinary things might also be remembered.

But if you compare that to the enormous amount of people who have lived and died, basically no one will be remembered after their death. I’m not making excuses for the bad behaviors of horrible people, I’m just saying that losing all relevance and not being remembered after death isn’t special.

Oh I didn’t realize it got released on PC!

My opinion of life is strange is kinda complicated I liked it as a “Summer Game” because it had the right vibes while I played it but after I was done I was disappointed. The game hypes it’s “your action have consequences” system up constantly but it’s usually just a different dialogue or short scene which doesn’t affect the story in a major way. Which is fine for a game in general but not when it pretends it’s different.

Never heard of it, looks amazing, I’ll check it out, thanks

Looks great! The Alps is where I spend a lot of my vacation days, why not add some nights as well haha

I played slay the princess earlier this year, amazing game! Detroit become human has been on my wishlist forever. Maybe now is a good time to finally buy it. Not sure about coffee talk but until then looks promising. I’ll check out the demo

It won’t be long till fall so it can go on the list. Might be perfect for summer-is-almost-over-sadness

I’ll take a closer look at Tchia. I don’t necessarily search only for no-pressure-at-all cozy games. I just don’t want a game that barely let’s you breathe and/or requires extreme precision. Like, I don’t want to be playing elden ring (right now and for the next few weeks).

The most important thing is the warm atmosphere and some moments that create lasting impressions

I think yakuza might fit. I have to check if the steamdeck can handle it. If not it’ll go on my list for when I am okay with my pc heating up my living room

I just can’t get into outer wilds, the ship controls drive me insane.

The big con looks promising

Looks super cute

Perfect, thanks!

Sadly no Playstation

It looks vaguely familiar. I think I watched one of the kids in my neighborhood play it

I’ll 100% play the looker

Ryza could be perfect!

I’m super afraid of the ocean dredge looks like a horror game to me

Wow eastshade looks amazing! The Amanita Design games might suit my Fall-mood better. Roadwardwen looks interesting too. I’ll look at the preview slides on my steamdeck and see if it’s still readable
