I don't get much time to play anymore, but when I make time I'm mostly bouncing between two games.

On my Steam Deck I've been slowly working my way through Cult of the Lamb. I like that it combines a base builder with a roguelite hack and slash thing, swapping back and forth between the two halves of the game keeps it pretty fresh.

On my PC I've basically only been playing Forza Horizon 6. I like a good racing game, and the less time that I have for gaming the more I find myself drifting towards the slightly less hardcore titles like FH6. Took a little while to get used to the handling changes compared to Forza Motorsport, but overall it's relatively solid.

If anyone has good recommendations for games that are fun and run well on Steam Deck let me know! Indie games are generally more up my alley than big AAAs. I once tried modded Minecraft because I heard you can get it running on Steam Deck but it was a bit depressing to try and play with horrible load times and the usual issue of trying to use a controller for a game that clearly isn't designed for one haha

I second your recommendation for POINPY, it's probably the best mobile game that I've played in a very very long time. The fact that they made it completely free with no ads was an absolutely legendary move.

I've also been playing a little bit of Bricky Boy, it's a fun little brick breaker-esque roguelite game. Nice and relaxing with cool graphics. My only criticism is it feels a bit heavy on the ads sometimes.

Nah that's surely a Photoshop job. I'm sure I've seen this image floating around the Internet since at least like 2018

Same here, the ratings for Australia are especially bad in the current system. Having PG, M and MA15+ all linked together probably makes sense if you've got no cultural context for it, but being from Australia it's an insane way to handle it haha

Honestly it's not too much different: https://thehardtimes.net/blog/we-taught-this-chimpanzee-to-understand-the-american-political-system-and-he-hanged-himself/

Makes sense considering the hard times is all satire news

To be honest I think it's the trailing full stop that does that. Over text I find that usually comes across like you're trying to shut down the conversation (even when you're not)
