    I've already decided that I'm swapping to Linux the next time I upgrade my PC. Windows is starting to become more trouble than it is convenient.

    I was wondering if anyone mentioned Nox already. It's a shame that it went so unnoticed while Diablo took off in popularity. I always preferred Nox.

    I'll take a cybernetic heart. I was born with a heart defect, and one heart attack was enough for me. I'd love to know what it felt like to have endurance too.

    My parents were frustrated, but not boiling over when I came out as bi. I guess they thought future grandchildren weren't out of the question yet. Then I came out as trans, and I was immediately dead to them. I've been reconnecting with my mom years later because she's divorcing my dad, but I'm still being cautious about it. Life has been brighter without them around anyway.

    I'm looking forward to running my own fantasy setting I've been dreaming up, and Knave 2e looks like it should cover my system needs. Until I get the physical book from the kickstarter, I'll be working on world building. I don't have anything to show off here yet.

    I'm reading Children of Dune for the first time now. I'm still near the start, but I'm enjoying it so far.

    I've probably read something older that I've liked, but the oldest book among my favorites is The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

    Freelancer. Space games are in demand right now. That's begging for a remaster, remake, or sequel.

    I get excited every time I hear about someone picking up PHM. It makes me want to read it again (I've read it twice so far). Thanks for sharing.

    Probably Elden Ring. I don't like many AAA games, so that wins by default. I am a big fan of Armored Core though, and the upcoming sequel is definitely in AAA territory. I'll probably change my answer after I get a chance to play it.

    I've conquered my wish list recently, only to add ACKS to it this month. I sort of like AD&D, but I think this will work out better for me.

    I can't say much about the length because I'm still somewhat early in. I love the new vibe though, and I'm excited to explore through more of it. I'm happy it's not the exact same story as the first game, although I loved that one too.

    I'm underwhelmed overall, but there's one game that caught my eye as a possibility. Pax Dei is going for a community-driven sandbox MMO, and I signed up for the alpha. Time will tell if it actually amounts to something.

    I'm not planning on playing Starfield at all. I'll stay open minded in case it actually ends up being something worth my attention, but I have my doubts. If so, it'll be on sale eventually.

    I'm currently bouncing between Elite Dangerous, Subnautica: Below Zero, and Monster Hunter Rise. I'll probably try SF6 soon, which will be my first fighting game.

    Right now my two favorite games are VtM 20th and Traveller. The stories that have evolved out of each have been top-notch for me. I also enjoy OSR games in general, but I don't have a specific favorite OSR system.

    I'm still getting used to this and there's not much activity yet, but I'll stick with it. Reddit isn't worth it, so I'm happy there's a chance for an alternative.

    I just had a VtM game tonight, then found this.

    Even if you're all figments of my imagination, I'm happy to be here. I recently started playing my first VtM game with a Malkavian character in 20th.
