Apart from my oxygen that is Factorio, I play Heretic’s Fork. The game desperately needs a manual, but I’m enjoying it.
I love that game. I think it’s the only game that presents dissociation and “functional depression” if that is even a phrase. There is a feeling of an unreliable narrator, but not to the extent of outright lies or hallucinations. Just everything looks out of place, disgusting, ugly and stupid.
Playing the game I feel like I am pretending to be functional in a world I despise, among people I find disgusting or irrelevant.
It’s something.
Atrio: The Dark Wild - has you control a clone with a limited life span. When you die and resume from a new clone, the old clone corpse is lying around and you can harvest it for parts necessary to continue the story.
Sifu - when you “die” your character ages and gets stronger before trying again.
Karateka - plays a lot like a regular game with lives, but it’s not the same life. Every time you have to resume from a new life, it’s a different person attempting to get to the end.
Shadow of Mordor - when you are killed by an orc, you resurrect from a spirit. The orc, however, gets high-fives from all his mates and gets promoted, plus some new skills. Next time you see him he will call you out.
Hades - the entire story is based around you repeatedly failing and dying.
Super Meat Boy - well basically you die and restart, but when you finally beat the level, you get an instant replay with all your failed attempts simultaneously playing on top of it. The effect is more glorious the more you struggled to beat the level.

My hilarious doctor, prescribing me medicine that I will take the rest or my life:

It shouldn’t be allowed to call it E2E otherwise. If a third party is involved in the communication, it’s just a middleman attack that pinky promise to not read your messages.
Please don’t disseminate detailed instructions on how to perform criminal activities.
Now any delinquents looking to crime with pork will know exactly what to do and how to do it.
The link requires an explanation of its own, and the original post remains a mystery.
I thought it would be released by now. Maybe they should see a doctor.
Stop whatabouting a brutal invasion war in Europe. It may be all fun pseudointellectual masturbation to American grad students, but for us here it’s our neighboring country ignoring agreed-upon borders and killing and destroying westwards.
Going for walks, mostly. Or socializing in town.
Come try it out! Northern Norway is so happy to see tourists in winter that they’ll probably pay you to rent a cabin for a month.
Immigrant friends during the first few months: - I’m really impressed with how much focus Scandinavians put on “hygge” and interior design that makes it pleasant to relax inside. I wonder why.
Same friends two months into winter where it is dark most of the day, everything is cold, walking on the ground will break your bones if you aren’t careful, and the rain and sleet will soak your shoes and jacket and they will never really dry out until June: - Yeah okay I get it now.
6 months later, when sunlight is half visible on the horizon only 2 hours per day, this is your commute to school/work and back.
Glad I’m not a strawman. This would have fucking wrecked me.
