Came here to say Seveneves as well. Just borrowed it again from the library today actually! Highly recommend.

Silent Hill 2.

I was playing it at night at a campground that was terrifying by itself at night. My roommate had gone to sleep and I was getting more and more scared as the night went on. I couldn’t find a save point and I was getting frantic just trying to save my game and go to sleep. I couldn’t find one after an hour or so so I said fuck it and turned it off.

Cue a mouse eating something in our loft or some other small animal making it so I had to wake up my roommate telling him I need to talk for a minute to a real person before falling asleep. I didn’t sleep much that night and didn’t pick the game up for another 6 months.

Played it in the day time with people in the room. Fuck that game and it’s still one of my favorites of all time to make me feel that way.

The Last Spell! An amazing soundtrack and the game is fun too!

Seconding Zojirushi. Never looking back.

Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero was my jam on ps2! Has there been anything like it since? Racing through the real highways of tokyo with ‘normal’ cars to weave through was such a cool concept.

Return of the Obra Dinn is an amazing game that I wish I could play again for the first time. The art style is super unique and the attention to detail in every aspect of the game is incredible.

Highly recommend.

Is there a bike you would suggest for a beginner to buy into that isn’t too expensive but also not junk? Budget of $300 or so, but can flex.
