If you want some variety, I played a ton of PowerWash Simulator when I had COVID and it was fantastic. Just chill, not much thought required, and clean stuff with a pressure washer progression system.

When I bought my PS5 a few months ago I considered waiting for a PS5 Slim in the hopes that it would be less fuckin ugly. Glad I didn't wait, because they managed to make it worse by basically slapping the disc drive to the side.
Robust transportation infrastructure means you can expand your pool of partners and social programs supporting family planning and contraception make it even easier to get laid. We need to pay more taxes so everyone can get laid as easily and frequently as possible.
Phantasy Star Online. They've tried to release sequels over the years - Universe, PSO2 - and failed miserably at capturing what made Episodes 1 and 2 great. There's no way they would be able to just update the graphics without trying to "improve" something in the gameplay, or changing the loot system, or adding MTX, and would just fuck it up again.
PSO is so good that even now, 23 years after it launched on Dreamcast, there's still hundreds if not thousands of people like me that still play regularly. Whether that's offline on their GameCube or online in Blue Burst on PC on a server like Ephinea.
I've been playing Sea of Stars on it lately, a great modern take on the classic JRPG format which works great on the deck.
NoMachine has Android and Windows clients.
For a second there I felt called out, but my gas guzzling burnout truck is from the 90s 👍
Well cool, about time. If they put offline mode in it'll finally make sense to put it on my Steam deck. Been wanting to play it portable since I got the deck but always use it away from home and setting up a hotspot connection to play an ARPG solo isn't great.
I use NoMachine between windows and Linux and I'm happy with it. According to their site they support MacOS.
I also try and ignore energy costs and prevent ewaste: my home server is my three builds back gaming PC with a lower power GPU shoved into it. Whenever I build a new main gaming PC my old one becomes my wife's gaming PC, and her old PC is rebuilt into the home server.
So.. the force engine with Remastered cutscenes? Hopefully this remaster is like the Quake II one and just comes as a free patch.
Dang, still no co-op. Back to waiting I go.
