The Invincible (Multi, XP'd on PC/Linux)
Based on the classic novel, you play as Yasna, a biologist, who wakes up on an alien planet not quite sure how or why she got there. After reestablishing contact with her orbiting Astrogator, she sets off to find her fellow crew on an eerily quiet and hostile feeling planet.

1/2 Thanks to @… for this interesting article. It speaks to me. :)
I’ve been weather blogging @… since 2005. It is interesting how it has changed, and how I have changed.
My website used to be just data from the (expensive) station I bought when I moved back to Port Alberni. It was a hobby and a side project to practice web/coding skills I use at work. My focus was on creating useful data for people that was more local/relevant than the official EC station outside of the city.
Then I put up a webcam and learned how to make timelapses. This got the attention of local media… because pictures. :)
Then I added a blog and started to write about the weather almost daily. This was before Facebook. There was a popular local online forum where I would post things. The media would also follow my website and they started to call me when there was extreme weather (usually very hot or very wet/stormy).
Then Facebook started to get big and I made a page that eventually had a few thousand followers. I would blog often. Lots of traffic from Facebook… this was 2010 and on. I blogged about climate and weather pretty equally.
Like anyone in Port Alberni, I was/am obsessed with the Martin Mars and got wrapped up in that issue along with others which combined with the weather following probably gave me just enough exposure to have me elected as a councillor in 2014.
I continued through that 4 years, blogging often in addition to councillor duties and work, heavily on facebook, then it all went sideways on my own poor judgement (go ahead and google it, it’s ok :)) and I was not reelected, but Facebook by 2018 had also changed. Cambridge Analytica, etc.

The joys of genetics x US "healthcare" have caught up to me. Been feeling off a while, sweating more than usual doing stuff, more anxious and irritable than usual, odd hot/cold flash issues. I just thought I wasn't getting enough rest, and our diet isn't the best cause we're barely existing as it is.
Last couple weeks I've picked up some UTI, which has exacerbated my earlier symptoms enough we started digging in trying to figure it out. Partner came across Gr…

I dunno about y'all, but this old gaming dude certainly has been getting some serious Sega Dreamcast flashbacks regarding what's going on with M$ and Xbox.
Bout a year before Sega pulled the rug, the rumors were flying hard. "Don't buy the DC, it's already dead, Sega has no idea what it's doing (etc). Get the PS2, everyone gonna be getting one, you'll be missing out."
Self fulfilling prophecy: once you've alienated more than half your user …
