  Nothing else like it out there.

  I keep meaning to check this one out but haven’t yet. store.steampowered.com/app/1290170/Titan_Chaser/

  Pushing the definition but I started when it was still in beta… Minecraft has gotten hundreds and hundreds of hours put into it.

  Terarria and Starbound are both really good and scratch that same itch as Minecraft. Core Keeper is another one that has some of that feel and I ended up really enjoying.

  Surprised I haven’t seen it mentioned but Cave Story was made by one guy doing everything… and everything in it is immaculate. It’s still free for the original version as well.

  Stardew Valley is awesome and restarted a genre.

  Crypt of the Necrodancer is awesome, and well worth checking out… also goes on sale really cheap.

  Pacific Drive is a fun one to check out. If you’re from the PNW, it will hit even more.

  Really enjoyed Stray. Worth grabbing on a sale.

  OwlBoy was a delightful game with a lot of character.

  Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a really nice return to form if you like IgaVanias.

  If you like roguelites then you owe it to yourself to check out Enter the Gungeon (isometric) as well as RoboQuest (fps).

  If you want a game that’s beautiful, with emergent story and is hard af… definitely check out Rain World.

  Is Black Mesa still considered indie? It’s how I would recommend anyone play Half-Life 1 these days.

  Rusty’s Retirement… isn’t so much a game… sorta… but yeah… check that out.

  Yeah… I think I’m less upset they changed the type of game… and more that it’s just creatively bankrupt cash-grab nonsense.

  Both Tuta and Proton are decent selections.

  Some of the rumblings from proton admin are a little concerning… too early to see if they’re going to have issues or not. Their service is robust and easy to use.

  Tuta seems to be a fairly good choice from a privacy standpoint. They aren’t nearly as robust of a product package and using it feels a little old skool and clunky… but they’re actively working on it… so hopefully it will change.

  The biggest thing with proton is that they offer a suite of products. They look to compete directly with the goog on their offerings… so they have email, calendar, password manager, file drive, wallet, whatever else… and they’re working to integrate them. So if you use a plethora of g-products… it’s more of a smooth transition because there are more analogs to use. If you have already diversified away from a monolithic product base, then this isn’t an issue.

  But but… the new era of “innovation”… by bringing back watered down versions of old stuff… including loot boxes, which ostensibly was half the reason for the Overwatch Too release. We’ll be lucky if they don’t find some way to add AI dlc or something at this point.

  I hope we get pictures of bumblebees on nickels soon… five bees a for a quarter I’d say.
