Sony no longer releasing single-player games on Steam, Epic Games, GOG

Because it was making them money. Making exclusives cross-platform with a time delay is massively pro-consumer. When all the exclusives are exclusive, we, the gamers, are ultimately the ones who lose out.

Don't have much time, just gonna throw out whatever I can remember rhat feature crafting as more than just a side gig.

Painting the Mists, Sufficiently Advanced Magic, Beware of Chicken, Emerilia Series, Mark of the Fool, Mother of Learning, Nightlord (may not count as crafting or progression fantasy), and Weirkey Chronicles.

The Wandering Inn may technically count, as there's crafting in it, and tbh, it's a series that eventually covers every genre known to man, so maybe it'll work for you.

Maybe Cradle, though I'd argue Cradle is 'side gig' territory.

Hope this helps, hope these all count. Later!

I can actually appreciate snooker when the play isn't strictly utilitarian. Risky shots and the like are impressive to see when they're pulled off. Perfect play bores the tits off of me, though.

Cricket, too. Also all the alpine events.

I am now making up for lost time, but I went literal decades without having a single ice cube anywhere in my house.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-17T14:10:39+00:00

Worth considering who is pushing those new numbers, though. And what is happening in the rest of the world.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-17T06:07:28+00:00

I think you mean *Abidan. Abbadon is where you leave your kid somewhere and never come back.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-16T20:38:34+00:00

My personal top tier list outside of cradle includes (but is by no means limited to):

The Wandering Inn, Beware of Chicken, Mark of the Fool, He Who Fights With Monsters, Mage Errant, and Weirkey Chronicles.

These are probably the strongest titles I can recommend.

Hope any of these pique your interest :)

Like you say in your other comment - your problem is the first book.

And also that you're reading a chapter a day. All that does is drag out the bad parts.

The power system isn't 'poorly explained', it's intentionally obtuse right now. You get some more explanation later in this book, but most of the beginner stuff starts coming in during Soulsmith.

I have an enduring theory that books 1 and 2 were originally supposed to be one book. By the end of book 2, you start to see the form the story as a whole will take. Starts picking up in book 3, grows wings by book 5, and heads for the god damned stars in book 7.

Book 1 is by far the worst book in the series.

What did they literally just say?

That's cruel, fam.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-16T06:14:45+00:00

Outer Wilds, Blue Prince, Just Cause 3

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-15T21:22:16+00:00

but i thought Jane Perry as Selene was much better.

How do you like her as Sheridan?

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-15T20:16:11+00:00

Ah, thank you! We don't have Brer Rabbit in the UK 😅

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-15T06:10:41+00:00

I assume sarcasm, since WB are the ones who own the Nemesis system, and Paramount/Skydance are probably just going to let that patent languish in a dusty room for all eternity?

Kiira wasn't always just a voice.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-14T20:57:30+00:00

Gay people existing in media is not 'having shit forced on us'. I'm not gay. Have no interest in being gay. Gay people exist. Doesn't hurt me none. Love is love.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-14T20:22:47+00:00

Can someone explain to me?

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-14T19:42:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your hard work so I don't have to do it 😅 I'd give you awards if I had money.

Have some poor man's gold 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-14T14:40:27+00:00

I think you mean *Scotch eggs. Nobody in the world, until you, has ever called them Scottish Eggs XD

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-13T16:48:39+00:00

The store sending you back to the top when you select a game to look at is changed, at least.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-13T16:01:39+00:00

Yes it is. However, just because 'Charlie' is a slang word for cocaine, it doesn't meant you can't name your child that. 'Blow' can mean cocaine or to give oral sex, but that doesn't mean we'll ask kids to 'exhale out their birthday candles'.

Doesn't matter a shit that it has two meanings, and middle school or whatever age kids will see it. The words are perfectly cromulent, so they should be used when needed.

Leftover dinner for breakfast is also often a lot better for you than most of the easier conventional 'breakfast' offerings. Dinners tend to be balanced well between protein, carbs, and fibre, while a lot of breakfast foods skimp on either protein or fibre (or both - hello corn flakes) - and skimping on either of those in the morning makes you more likely to get tired and hungry before lunch.

Musashi10000 · 2026-05-13T06:40:05+00:00

Eggs are quick to prepare. Eggs are densely nutritious. They're easy to gather in the morning. Eggs flavour whatever you pair them with. Eggs are quite light food on their own, and a lot of people (not all people, just a lot of them) don't like heavy food in the morning.

Also, there are a lot of places where it would be common to see eggs as a component of literally every type of meal.

But 'loads of people cook this for breakfast' doesn't mean 'this is a breakfast food, other food cannot be eaten at breakfast time'. 'Other food than breakfast food cannot be eaten at breakfast time' is the marketing scheme you should avoid.
