Damn, that’s really rough. I hope having some quiet away from the world at your cabin can help counteract some of your neuropathy. 😕
Have you been able to try out FBC: Firebreak yet? I don’t know how it’d play as a solo experience, but I’m really enjoying it with one of my friends.

I HAVE!!!
Thanks for remembering! I kinda liked how they just threw you into Firebreak. I get why some gamers were confused, but I love it when a developer shies away from the hand-holding and over-explaining we all get these days. It’s got so much that it needs, really is a bit bare…but still, I’m enjoying it!!! And I’m glad you are too, the game doesn’t seen to have made much of a splash

Absolutely! I hope it can find an audience soon; it’s not perfect, but I love it so much.
I didn’t mind the slow ramp-up in jobs, but I’m guessing that the change to more easily unlock level 3 jobs can help more people see what makes it special (Hot Fix, in particular, is just spectacular in level 3). And I love a game that, as the devs said well before release, doesn’t want to hold you hostage and keep you playing indefinitely. In some ways, it feels like it was designed twenty years ago, and for me? That’s a great thing.
Solo play isn’t too rough, then? Some jobs have been incredibly hectic with just two, so I’m curious about whether or not it works alone.
