The Witcher: Enhanced Edition in 2013 for $9.99. Kind of ironic really as I still haven't played it for more than an hour or so.

The next game I bought was The Witcher 2 three months later for $19.99 which I finished and loved.

Most of the early games were bought on steam sales and were either games I'd already played on console/PC or classics I never got around to.

    I've been playing around with Droid-Deck on my android phone this week and it's surprisingly good.

    I don't have the space to install really large games, so I've tested recent indie/AA games and older games like Crysis Remastered and they all just worked. Even the desktop experience and flatpak installer was quick and painless.

    I already have a Steam Deck and don't really need to use this, but it's pretty awesome easily running games or Linux apps on the phone. Obviously YMMV, but I've been genuinely surprised by it so far

    Zen Browser. At this point I'm using it almost exclusively for the glance feature, which loads a page in an overlay above the current tab. This is incredibly useful in webmail for short-term page visits, like email verification links, etc.

    Pretty sure this is Hyperblade? I remember my friend bought a copy. I thought it looked sick but I don't think I ever played it (probably around the time I had a 386) and he stopped talking about it pretty quickly.

    My old Alfa Romeo Giulia ICE car did this once, luckily while I was at home. The car was a little over year old and overnight somehow flattened the battery. Nothing was left on, no open doors/boot open, just some kind of software glitch.

    In 2016 I was traveling around New Zealand and had an amazing mushroom and cheese toastie. It was so good that I remember thinking, as I drove away, that I'd be happy to eat that toastie over a lot of foods I normally enjoy.

    Around a year later I decided to stop eating meat. I begun by allowing myself to eat fish and over a month or so gave up that as well. While not directly related, that mushroom toastie planted a seed in my brain that being a vegetarian didn't mean eating salad every day.

    I don't know if or when I would have become a vegetarian anyway, but that toasted sandwich certainly helped me decide when I was ready.
