The Spell Brigade. It’s unfortunately early access, but it’s an up-to-4 player co-op Survivors-type game. I love Vampire Survivors so of course I wanna play co-op. I’ve been having a bunch of fun with it, both with friends and without.

I also wanted to mention Fields of Mistria. I don’t really like Stardew Valley very much, but this one is really pulling me in for whatever reason. It’s still early access, but it’s got a bunch of QoL improvements from Stardew and the characters are really fun.

Just picked up a game called Hellcard that is basically co-op Slay the Spire. It’s a lot of fun and the look of the game is really unique, I think. I really love StS so being able to co-op basically the same thing is a ton of fun.

Honestly, sticking my head in the sand in a way. I deleted all social media from my phone (minus Lemmy) and un-joined any news communities on here. I’m trying to keep my world smaller so I can stay sane and keep those dearest to me taken care of as best as I can.

Honestly, it’s worked a treat. I feel a little guilty for not rallying for the cause or keeping up with the world, but it’s just too much.

I bought tickets for a concert for us both provided she drive. She never showed up and didn’t answer her phone or anything but was somehow mad at me a few days later.

The latest Tool album.

I can’t even remember the name, but it felt like a lot of noise from an alley full of garbage cans. I don’t know if I finished listening to it.

It probably wouldn’t fit your thrash and death metal tastes, but sludge metal and doom metal are a lot less likely to have screaming or annoying vocals in them. I personally really don’t like screaming even though I like metal, haha.

Otherwise, acoustic metal is where you want to land. It can be hard to find in my experience, though.

Salads, sandwiches, wraps, ramen (using an electric kettle to boil water).

If OP has a fear of fire, a rice cooker, or crock pot, or instapot, or air fryer, or panini press can do so much without ever having to see flames.

Early 30s /F / North America

I’m close to the right demographic, but for the missing appendage.

Is it possible to have them share their screen instead of using a phone camera? Unless it’s hardware stuff, I guess

But I know for sure on Teams you can use your own pointer on their screen during screen share to point at what you mean and to motion towards stuff.

I don’t know how much they are, but there’s a bunch of classic games on the switch. Jeopardy is pretty good. Wheel of fortune. I think there’s a trivial pursuit.

For other Jackbox trivia games, fibbage is great, and you don’t know jack is too.

I’m not sure how old old is, but SOMA is always such a delight to play through.

Another somewhat older game is Duskers where you control drones one empty human ships, trying to find out where humans went.

Similarly, instant coffee can really take a dish up a notch. Looking at you, jambalaya.

I only post or reply on Lemmy, but I do have Stealth for Reddit still for those really bad doom scrolling days.

Are you a field mouse?

What are some of your favorites? I adore folk and am always looking for more recommendations

I would recommend The Arcadian Wild

It’s hard to pick a favorite, but right now I’m really into Funk. Funk as a whole, definitely, but the subsect that is Bubblegum Funk is just so relaxing and chill, I’ve been listening to it while working lately.

I’ve had it for a while but finally it dug it’s claws in - Tunic!

Apparently this is a devisive little game. I absolutely adore it and think the combat difficulty is just about perfect while the puzzle solving and the exploration is masterclass levels of design. The show, don’t tell approach is used so perfectly here. Ah I love it

I love this game so much. It’s so chill but also blood boiling lol

Built a new computer last year and didn’t want anything to do with win11, so I switched to Linux Mint. I really like it, and there’s a lot of help all around online. Thankfully because of Proton, I haven’t had any trouble playing any game yet. It’s been great!

I do miss ClipStudio for painting and OneNote for ttrpg notes, but I’ve been making due with Krita and Notion.
