I thought Insidious was good, and not annoyingly gratuitous with the violence.

Makes me think of high-score runs, mainly in arcade games. Have to play for a long time, and eventually you get stopped by a kill screen.

I think this is a really good answer. Just search for a focus playlist on whatever platform and let it run.

If I'm picking out music more specific, I find myself thinking about that, and what it's like, and if it's helping, and maybe I should hey this other album or artist.

Don't let picking the music distract too much from focusing on what you want to do.

I get this. Loved Tri and Freedom Unite, played a decent amount of 4, some of World, and barely started Rise.

They're always exciting, and I don't dislike any of the games, but it's just a lot to get going, really invest the time, and get the value out of these.

Ew, sorry. This list is similar and more accessible:

There's a whole bunch of cool modern replacements. Here's a handy list: altbox.dev

I personally use bat and rg all the time, and find them much more suitable for everyday tasks.

Edit: And to clarify, I didn't create either list, they're just ones I'd bookmarked at some point.

I really like that cd command. :P

I feel like "See that mountain? You can go there." was already a cliche when the game came out. [Though I have no citation to prove it.]

BotW really delivered on it though, with everything being climbable as the rule rather than the exception.

And I mean, there's still time now. Switching browsers isn't that bad. Export+import some bookmarks and adjust some settings, good to go.

I think FF has been a good option for a while. But the second best time is now. I can totally get it if people didn't want to switch until they had more of a concrete problem.

That's a big undertaking, good luck! I'll definitely be trying it out once it's playable.

Having a nice list of characters you want is cool, but for now I'd say really pick two (or even 1) and try to get them prototyped and make them feel good to play.

The website https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ helps surface these, and let's you filter out based on different things.

One that I like in particular is Gauguin. It's a Sudoku-like with different math-y rules.

Anuto TD is a tower defense game that is also really good, but not so low stress.

Lichess, if you're into Chess. It's a great, no compromise, high quality app. Stressful if you get too worked up about competitive, but puzzles are at least relaxing.

Yeah, somewhat agree.

It's great just to see it exist. And not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, especially when the series hasn't had a game in 15 years.

But by the end of it, I was kinda left wanting some new hook.

Sylux showing up was a cool moment though. I didn't expect them to honor that tease from Prime 3, and I appreciate it.
