Also for the love of god, don’t be sticking anything in places it could get lost without a flared base to keep at least part of it outside.

There are a few.

1, my Mavercade KeebBrawler-01, which has been pretty comfy for Street Fighter 6, which itself I can’t count as my own best purchase since it was gifted to me.

2, Monolith M1070C headphones. They’re the first pair of closed-back headphones I’ve ever had that I don’t hate wearing for extended periods.

3, Final Fantasy 14. My girlfriend’s been playing since its initial release, and some of my other friends collectively convinced me to join. In the last couple weeks I’ve already put somewhere in the range of 50 hours into it and it’s been a good way to bond with everyone.

It’s currently free on YouTube (or at least it is for premium users).

Christfire would’ve gone hard.

I use a metal straw with a silicon bendy bit on the end, and it’s not like I throw away the bendy part.

I know for sure that Sonic and Knuckles was the very first game I played, or at least that I formed a memory of playing. I also had this handheld Radica Junior Bass Fishing game. And then I think I got to play Cruisin’ USA at somebody’s house and they had a full steering wheel setup for it.

“swims” can be rotated 180 degrees and still say swims. It’s an ambigram. “pod” would be another.

Assuming the price is exactly the same on both platforms (or even within like $10 if I’m not getting a Steam key from the GOG purchase), I’m buying from Steam every time. Mainly for the convenience of having it in my Steam library, so I can’t just flat out forget that I own the game already when I finally get around to playing whatever it was, because god knows I don’t immediately play straight through the vast majority of games I buy.

Mini Metro and Mini Motorways are pretty chill.
Both Katamari REROLL games.
Pretty much every Humongous Entertainment game.
DREDGE and WORLD OF HORROR if you want an exercise in slow-paced creepy bullshit tolerance.
Jet Set Radio is probably another solid choice, just for the music and aesthetic.
Beat Hazard for vibing to your music and some crazy flashy visuals. 2 has support for a bunch of major music streaming platforms, including YouTube.
Also like any porn game you can get down with.

Also Peglin, if you ever wanted Peggle but as a roguelite deckbuilder.

Specifically 64, yes.

Basically 3D Galaga with furries.

I do. The number one “complaint” people had with me pre-pandemic was that I should smile more. Not one fucking dumbass person has told me to do that when I have my mask on. That alone is enough reason for me to never take it off when I’m dealing with customers.

I am also still paranoid and I don’t trust the average person out there to be doing safe things.

Pay everyone in my building several years’ expected pay to quit all at once, except for one specific manager that everybody hates.

Mismanage something that I shouldn’t be messing with and die.
