The Steam Deck has revolutionized this for me. I was always too tired to sit upright at my desktop and game after we got the kiddo to bed. Now I can lay in bed and play my PC games. I’m finally working through games I never thought I would get to.

Born in 84, so technically a millennial although I feel more like a Gen X. As I like to say when X is overlooked - our apathy made us invisible. :-)

This isn’t really an answer, but I managed to find a fully remote job with minimal meetings. I can engage with my coworkers over Teams chat, but most of the time we leave each other alone. I like everyone I work with, but like you I’m not looking for a friendship.

Babylon 5 & Subnautica. That could be interesting lol.

Edit: technically the last one I played was Super Mario Wonder with my kid yesterday, although overall I am working through Subnautica.

Your example about BoTW is really good. I never played the earlier Zelda games and had near-zero interest in them. Then a friend let me borrow their BoTW cart and I absolutely fell in love with it. Still no interest in playing the earlier ones though.

I’ve never understood the term Metroidvania, and at this point, I’m afraid to ask.

Severance, For All Mankind (especially the first 2 season), Foundation is good (just don’t go in expecting a straight book adaptation).

Weirdly enough, for me the Clone Wars shows helped to retroactively make the Prequels better.

The ‘Big Enough’ song by…someone. Like I watched it and can’t tell if it was a parody or what? It and the song were so bad, to me at least.

Wanting to have a life as an adult after our kid goes to bed.

Fair point. To me my mental health is more important. I make enough for my needs and I am content, and I am very thankful for that and recognize how rare it is. I just love how these articles want to paint everyone with the same brush.

lol nah. I work for a sane company/boss. Fully remote.

Not all of us want promotions or ‘mentoring’. Some of us just want to do our job and log off with a minimum of crap.

Looks like the scout ship from TNG.

My original reaction still stands - ‘but why though?’ The first reboot was almost perfect and definitive.

I walked into that aisle recently and got such a warm feeling of comfort and nostalgia I almost started crying. I can’t even explain why. I love it so much.

Magic

Haha it’s Dave the Diver. I’m just not interested in any of the other games.

These things make me realize how out of touch my tastes are - I haven’t played any of these and there is only one I am interested in playing.

Bouncing between Obduction and Eidolon.
