Meanwhile, On Twitter:

So, I love looking through your game recs, and all of them look so interesting!

The only problem is that I have zero money at the moment, or at least zero that can be spent of games.

I don’t suppose you know any good/enjoyable games that are free or have a demo?

(There is only so much time you can spend doing housework or looking for work and I’ve replayed and replayed the games I’ve already got so many times)

It’s funny you should ask. Folks often ask me how the hell I have thousands of games in my Steam library, and the answer is, well, a substantial chunk of them are free to play. Many of them are very, very bad, but there are exceptions – I’ve placed links to the 120 or so that I’d actually recommend to other people under the cut.

A lot of these games are quite short (i.e., average playing time in the five to fifteen minute range), but they're free, so really that's good value for your money! Note: owing to the length of this list, I will not be including descriptions or content warnings – be sure to check the writeups and reviews.

I’ve marked my personal top dozen with asterisks (*). These aren’t necessarily the most approachable or well-constructed titles on this list, mind – just the ones I had the most fun with.

I love this fucking family.

Whoever is writing their dialogue is doing God's work. Yeah that's exactly what siblings sound like

i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

here is a star for everyone who’s not feeling their best today (🌟)

Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.

Do Not Let HR do this to you. It is not illegal to talk about wages in the work place. I did and got a 12% raise!
