Someone has already mentioned DeusEx - Dishonored games also fit the category. If you are into grounded wilderness survival experiences, I recommend The Long Dark. If you are into SciFi and just don't like space as a setting, try Metro and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. None of these are indies though.

Modern reboot of Wolfenstein (The New Order, Old Blood and The New Colossus) are also quite fun and brilliant - they do occasionally send you to space though (there are levels on the Moon and Venus). The recent Indiana Jones game from the same studio (Machine Games) is really good as well.

Just curious, but what would be a good choice, or where would one look for it?

TRON 2.0 remains the best game in the franchise, IMO. Still waiting for the series to get back to its immersive sim roots.

What's so bad about the Rust compiler? I know it's slow, but given all the analysis it's doing, it makes sense. And, from my own experience, setting correct optimization levels for dependencies along with a good linker makes incremental builds plenty fast.

If I can afford it, I buy a freshly-baked baguette and eat it with a glass of whole milk.

I have been toying with the idea of forking Servo to make a scriptable keyboard-driven browser, like Nyxt but with something else instead of Lisp.

Probably too huge of a project for one hooman though.

Indeed it is! That is why we are blessed to have its power obscured by an incomprehensible CLI, aside from a few most common use cases. Still very worth it though.

If you work a lot with plain-text files (markdowns, office documents CSV etc.) try learning Git. It is a version control tool - it keeps timestamped versions of your documents, so if you edit something wrong, or delete a wrong file you can bring it back by "checking out" a previous version.

It's a software development tool originally, so learning it might be daunting for a lot of folks - fear not, download a graphical Git client app and look up some tutorials.

I promise once you get the hang of it, it will be hard to imagine doing anything without it.

One of those tools I wish were more popular among people who are not into software/engineering.

Uncharted, especially the final installment. On normal and higher difficulty dealing with the enemies becomes a bit of a chore: they force you to hide a lot, as well as waste entire clips of ammo on a single guy. On easy the game becomes forgiving enough food you too start pulling off cool stunts: swinging on ropes, shooting during a climb/jump, etc.

It's just more fun on easy.

Suomi mainittu!

 

A photo of a russian twix-knockoff candy bar. The packaging is titled "Twin Pix", it depicts a pair of twix-like caramel cookie candy with silver mountain peaks in the background. The person taking the photo is holding the candy bar in their hand. Grocery store shelves are visible in the background.

 

Here is the story: I decided to buy a good and expensive controller for my PC for the first time, after 3 decades of using stock dualshocks and cheap knock-off brands. Googled "best controller for PC", found a lot about elite series 2 controllers. Got excited about it (primarily the back-grip buttons and adjustable stick tightness), bought it.

After a month of playing Binding of Isaac I have decided to play some Doom Eternal to learn the hot new aiming technique - flick stick. Only to realize that this elite controller, that costs 130€ for the base kit, in current year, comes WITHOUT the gyro.

I honestly wish at least one of 5 reviews I watched and read mentioned this detail.

Is there any accessory I can acquire to get gyro, or would I have better luck returning the controller and buying something else?

Edit: I actually like everything else about the device, and not having the gyro is not exactly the deal breaker, but c'mon people
