"If you had to recommend someone play 5 games" etc reasonings 3
Transistor: I was torn between this and Bastion but honestly I think I prefer Transistor's gameplay more, and I also far prefer its story. Bastion is also a very good alternative but I felt bad putting both those games on the same list when either will do. Both have incredible soundtracks, beautiful stories, and fascinating worlds and characters.

Nier: Automata: I played through this in its entirety and I was... SO engrossed with the story and the characters. I'd never played a Nier or Drakkengard game before so I had no background but the gameplay, the ASTOUNDINGLY beautiful music and soundtrack, and the story was... well it definitely left an impression let me tell you. I don't want to replay it because I got the E ending and was so satisfied by it. I daren't taint it.

Undertale: The retro aesthetic, the hilarious, silly humour, the heartcrushing raw emotion it inspires, the story, its beautiful message, the characters, just everything about it is so important to me. I reinstalled it on my Surface Pro just so I could have a True Pacifist playthrough on EVERY system I've played it on.
Duskers: Command line interface? genuinely nerve racking? quirky roguelite-esque gameplay? Very yes, thanks.

I've never heard of lioncast before but that's not really an indicator of quality honestly. Reviews do seem to say that it's good for its price but it's not really great by any stretch? Membranes rather than microswitches for the buttons, non standard mount for the stick, button holes smaller than standard, so not as moddable as they claim. Apparently fairly responsive though not as much as other bigger brands?
I installed steam on my Surface Pro and stuck a few of my games i haven't ever played on it like Hacknet and Sword & Sworcery, and it's pretty great but also I found after playing a bit of Hacknet that command line interface games are rad as fuck and I put Duskers on that shit too because hell yeah command line interface games on a laptop device

oh i found grenadine syrup in our house and I remembered @maple mentioning it was delicious so I tried it out and I'm not sure it's genuine because I remember her saying it was made with pomegranate but this has raspberries and strawberries on the label but it's still heckin' nice with sparkling water.

@heytanuki fuckin same as hell
was watching Planet Earth 2 last night (nature documentary thingy, pretty great), and the last episode was on wildlife in cities and there was not only this really friggin cool bit on yeens where in Africa there is this city where they are forming a sort of symbiosis with the hyenas and giving them food and the yeens are more peaceful in the city as a result and don't hunt there because they get hand fed.
But also on raccoons and they are the cutest oh my gosh they make such adorable noises.
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
