  • Just saw your message. I ended up replaying the old spyro games in the remastered version and loved the nostalgia trip.

    Tried to get into Outer Wilds again, stopped almost instantly because I just can’t figure out the movement.

    Then I saw that Oxenfree 2 had released at some point, played that but wouldn’t recommend ( if you played the first game you already know the big “mystery” and the new smaller mystery isn’t that interesting)

    I played chants of sennaar, loved it, fit the vibe perfectly. Would absolutely recommend!

    I played planet of lana, it was somewhere between okay and good. Visually perfect gameplay a bit boring. Even for a short game it felt too long at the end.

    Then I made the mistake of opening rimworld again and this became my (gaming) life again.

    I don’t know if I played it before my post or after but Talos Principle 2 was perfect just like the first one.


  • Even if you cared about legacy, realistically, how many people are remembered for more than a few generations, if they are remembered at all?

    Even the majority of the leaders of nations are only remembered by historians, people with a high interest in history and briefly by some students studying for their next test, and these will be mainly the leaders of their own country. Unless they did something exceptional good or bad.

    And then there are a few exceptional high achieving writers, inventors, scientists and academics. Even within their field most become irrelevant and forgotten after a few decades.

    Some ordinary people who did extraordinary things might also be remembered.

    But if you compare that to the enormous amount of people who have lived and died, basically no one will be remembered after their death. I’m not making excuses for the bad behaviors of horrible people, I’m just saying that losing all relevance and not being remembered after death isn’t special.
