To be fair I wouldn’t want a Firefox monoculture either. I would like more usable open source browser engines not fewer. The problem with Chrome/Chromium is not that it exists but the way it is tangled up with monopolistic interests. Healthy competition and more user choice please.
Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.
I haven’t played the game yet but I am very curious what about it might have this effect. Is it story related or some gameplay element?
I don’t mind spoilers but maybe mark it up as such if needed in case others do.
On PC and Steamdeck Binding of Isaac and Brotato mostly, my most played comfort games. Looking to get started with Lonestar soon.
On mobile I got back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I’ve been paying classic roguelikes for a very long time. Never gotten very good at them but I still enjoy every run and inevitable death.

No WASD, no strafe, not fair.
I got it by running around the imps and going for the grunts (all enemies are “monsters” in Doom)
I think links should be fine and useful in this case, I’d just avoid affiliate tags and such.
Not a huge fan of inserts and I end up tossing them more often than not but the basic Res Aracana insert is one that I find exemplary. It doesn’t make the box larger than it needs to be, it has room for both expansions and most importantly it serves as an ergonomic storage tray during the game.
I’ve seen third party inserts that looked tempting but they were too expensive and organized things differently from the way I liked. In particular I like to bag together everything that a given player color needs for their setup, that way I can just hand everybody their own bag for their personal setup.
My favorite accessories are a couple of very cheap sectioned trays that I use as component trays for almost every game and some simple card holders for games that need it.
I picked this up about 2 months ago. Took me about 100 hours before I could put it down.
Backpack Battles. It’s an inventory management based auto-battler. Chill game and I like spatial puzzle a lot.
The game uses the Godot engine and it runs great on the deck. The UI is very smooth and thoughtfully designed.
A neat thing about the battle system is that it’s fully asynchronous. No matchmaking delay and it even works offline. I believe it works by preloading a number of opponent-builds at the beginning of the run.
Nice, now just another year to go while they fix it to run well on the Steamdeck.
Just don’t end up as the this guy

I will try to live by these rules IRL too.
Thanks for the excellent review!
Do you think that the early encounters will feel samey in repeated replays? StS is a “slow” deckbuilder in the sense that you don’t acquire new cards every round but only after encounters so you go through your starting deck a few times before you really start seeing new cards. This is fine in digital StS since it plays so fast but I wonder how early game feels on the table. How many rounds do early encounters typically take?
Finally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.
I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won’t have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.
I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn’t end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.
