Not utterly disappointed, but certainly underwhelmed by Wingspan to begin with. Oceania + removing ravens fixed a lot - mostly around difficulty playing birds, overpowered birds, boring endgame egg-laying.

Had a similar thing with Viticulture, it just felt unfinished. Tuscany fixed that too. Turns out I'm a sucker for expansions.

I was kind of mystified by its appeal too, all that tiny text, the pointless tree...

Haha, oh. I can't remember if you're literally in someone's mind, but it's a psychedelic guitar fantasy. It's a very pretty game.

Last credits I saw was Mass Effect 1 (legendary edition on gamepass), last 100%ed was Psychonauts 2 - both last month(ish)

The Artful Escape?

Tacking "Reddit" onto search queries almost became a prerequisite. Never imagined I'd have to replace that with "-Reddit".

It's made researching a media centre setup very difficult this week...

Great recommendations there, each got under my skin. I feel the same about David Lynch films, they connect with something inside me, and lodge permanently in my brain.

I'd put What Remains of Edith Finch, Dear Esther, Talos Principle, Stanley Parable, Metroid Prime and maybe Portal 1+2 in there too - they share an authentically mysterious vibe.

Obra Dinn and Outer Wilds hit me hard, they nailed the atmosphere perfectly. Haven't actually played DE, was a bit put off by the sheer amount of dialogue, but I need to try it.

I love the idea of Lemmy and I haven't found it too hard to create an account and get the gist of things.

BUT, the novelty will wear off and I'm not interested in general channels. I used Reddit for UX design, menslib, indieheads, OCD support, and lots of niche stuff that doesn't seem to exist here.

I know the answer is for me to get involved, but I work long hours and am a single dad to 2 .. I could set something up, but I don't have time to find quality OC and nurture multiple communities. I'd honestly be a poor mod.

I half expect Reddit to announce major changes to their official app, which may be enough to win a proportion of people back.

If you haven't tried it, I'd recommend Cascadia for a couples game. Also, Tuscany adds some pleasant complexity to Viticulture .. Not that you were asking for recommends, I just couldn't resist..
