Can sympathies with Angie but the system is Batosera on the Steam Deck. Just getting a ISO file for Xbox N64, or PSX/PS2 to run makes me happy. Mainly because there are so many game sfrom that generation I want to revisit.
Hell...if it really was the case that Angie is having sex, she'd *STILL* have a healthier life than what seems like 90% of "gamers" these days. It's certainly healthier than Morgan or Anne-Marie.
I think what saddens me is how much Discourse™ (and, to a greater extent, culture wars) has ruined my ability to even talk about games now. Everything has to be about DEI and "censorship" and how the libs/woke have ruined everything on one side, [continued]
[second part] [Insert character here] is queer-coded or [insert game here] is misogynist and we need to have "accessibility" options in games and flash warnings on the other. I just wished they all just shut the fuck up and move on with their lives. They're just so miserable to be around.
I enjoyed Axiom Verge like I enjoyed playing 16 bit games on console when I was a kid. To me this is proof I’m not just old and jaded, triple A games really got less enjoyable.

Haha, I just found a game like that this week too! It's called "Witching Stone" and it's got remarkably deep and elegant design (even though it looks alot like a match 3 game). Even has a free demo!
As someone who tends to enjoy all the little mysteries and lore tidbits, Abiotic Factor was awesome. Loved the whole "SCP but science" aspect. Not a huge fan of the Half-Life 1 graphics, cuz that stuff is straight up ugly, but it wasn't too bad once I was actually playing.
