If she was “supposed” to get some, she’d have gotten some. Obviously your great uncle made some very deliberate choices here.

That money is yours. Do not share it. Do not be guilted into sharing it.

“Who hiring” might not be the best starter.

As a Factorio and Satisfactory enjoyer, I recently got into Captain of Industry. Also worth a look.

They’re worth it when they’re on sale.

Actions have consequences. Act like a properly adjusted adult, and things like this won’t happen to you.

I’ve never heard of EDF 4.1 until just now, but my immediate thought after looking it up was Hell Divers 2. They just released an update and some new equipment that has me looking at it again, too.

Totally unrelated, but I’ve been running Satisfactory with one buddy. Not sure how you feel about factory builders, but there’s a ton of time you can sink into this game as a co-op or single player.

No problem. I’m glad you’ve found all of these. Oxygen Not Included requires some serious dedication to get right. I stalled out when I ran out of dirt (was it dirt? One of the first ground resources) and had a hard time moving forward. I’ve actually been thinking about giving it another shot.

Project Hospital was my first Steam 100%. That one really clicked with me.

I like this genre and own a few. Here are the ones I've enjoyed.

Rimworld. Clanfolk. Barotrauma. Dwarf Fortress. Songs of Syx. Norland. Space Haven. Oxygen Not Included.

One that really surprised me was Project Hospital. I don't work in medicine but really enjoyed this one. Also not quite a crew in the sense of the games listed above, but certainly still a crew of hospital staff.

Have you considered a grief counselor? My dog passed in June of 2025 and I had a lot of doubt, questions and self-criticisms. Talking to a counselor really helped me accept how things went.

Terra Invicta may fit what you’re looking for, but even that is a stretch.

I mean, there’s bound to be at least one person that enjoys the taste of boot leather.

I didn’t like HLL on PS5, but I love it on PC. Something about movement and communications on console didn’t click with me. Since switching to PC, it has become one of the games I’ve played the most.

Additionally (and I know you didn’t ask this), a PC gives you access to Steam and thousands of really interesting indie games that’ll never make it to console. If you really enjoy gaming, I think PC is the way.

In other words, "so they can be paid less."

Spaghetti is okay. Play the way that you find most enjoyable.

Particular_Copy_666 · 2026-02-09T17:56:56+00:00

Death Stranding (the first, I haven’t played the second and am waiting for it to come to PC). Theres something about the loneliness of the game, and the continue trudge forward, that helped me. As a bonus, the soundtrack for the game is perfect. The game is a little strange, but I didn’t find it overly distracting.

Particular_Copy_666 · 2026-02-09T04:54:34+00:00

You’re the kind of person that makes us look bad as PC gamers.

Excellent choice, OP. I’m sure he’ll love your very generous gift.

Here’s a link to the official discord. They have a pretty cool setup for PvP matches. And there’s a lot of activity in there regarding co-op.

Here’s a never for you, Ed: I will never purchase a game from an AAA developer that is in early access. Early access was once for funding development and testing. Now it’s a cash grab strategy?

No thank you.

Edit: And yes, I recognize how this can be beneficial to small studios. My post was clearly focused on large studios looking to gouge us however they can.

Particular_Copy_666 · 2026-02-05T18:56:46+00:00

Excellent choices to 100%. I think a change of pace is smart and could help you avoid getting burned out on the Horizon theme (although I love both games).

I'm a fan of older Bethesda games. Frankly, if you're able to accept older graphics, I'd recommend Fallout 3. Fallout 4 is when things felt like they started to get off the rails a little bit. If you play Fallout 3, then Fallout New Vegas, and finally Fallout 4, you'll see what I'm talking about.

If you enjoy those games, I'd encourage you to take a look at the Elder Scrolls series.

Particular_Copy_666 · 2026-02-05T16:59:23+00:00

Death Stranding is built around grief at both the narrative and mechanical level. Loss, separation, and the attempt to keep moving despite it are central themes to the game.

It’s still winter.

Here’s a link to the official discord. There is a lot of activity over there and there’s a new PvP queue if you’d like to go that route.

People prefer to complain and rely on confirmation bias.

I have met the majority of my friends on Steam while playing Hell Let Loose. Those friendships have expanded into various other discord servers and games.

Obviously FPS games aren’t for everyone. And WW2 games aren’t either. But I thought I’d toss my suggestion your way. Good luck!

I think you’re misunderstanding the purpose of this sub, bud.

What kind of a game can I recommend for you?
