Morrowind and FTL. Both I revisit every couple of years.

I suspect Stardew Valley might become something like that too, but I only had one cycle of stopping and coming back with it so far.

For me there are a couple.

Hades (2020) - I'm not in any hurry with this one. I'd get it if GOG starts to sell it, otherwise I'll wait a bit more.

Outer Wilds (2020) - I'm getting impatient with this. I'd like this more on GOG too, but I think I'll just buy it when Steam winter sale comes.

The Guild III (2022) - quirky trade/life sim game and I have some fond memories of the second one. But that had quite a few bugs even long after release and I hear the third game still looks unfinished so I'm patient.

I suppose Baldur's Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just "recent" release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

I'm afraid I'm a victim of algorithms because I pretty much only look at stuff from GOG and Steam front pages or games that are recommended as 'similar' over there. And of course youtube.

As a side note. I should even stop checking those because I just keep playing the same games nowadays instead of chipping away at my backlog.

I had this too. I decided that I'll get the max rating from Grampa and the everything will calm down, but after reaching that point in game I was sort of burnt out and stopped playing.

Also I never could get into the island part of the game. I felt like I abandoned what I worked for all that time!

Papers, Please just turned ten recently. It's a simple concept (just check the papers!) getting progressively more difficult as you get further. The bleak setting with the colours and music gives that very "nice" 50's soviet vibes. Definitely recommended.

"Oh hidy-ho officer, we've had a doozy of a day..." Definitely a good watch.

I'm actually tempted to say Snatch too. City of God (Cidade de Deus 2002) is up there with it. Some time ago I probably would've said Donnie Darko, but I've grown out of it over the years.

Yeah, my intention was to ask more in the spirit of the capital Patient Gamer, as in the community name, instead of just a gamer who is patient. Some good discussions happening here so it's all good either way.

How long have you waited to get it? Was it worth it?

I very much use the subscription feed. I don't know how alone I am with this, but I usually only subscribe to channels when I want to watch almost all videos they post.

A lot of the time if a creator gets a little bit popular they start to spam videos and that's when I unsubscribe, even if I generally like their content. I feel like I cannot ever keep up anymore so I just watch their videos sporadically from then on.

Academics needs good discipline for the most part provided you have an okay head for it.

Somebody with a very high intelligence can cruise by for a while, but they will hit a wall eventually where they need to sit down and do the boring, borderline useless or administrative stuff too. Lots of people have a hard time to find the motivation to do these parts and fail.

That's just teenagers. They will arrive eventually if Lemmy gets more popular.

One Finger Death Punch

Simple, but surprisingly addictive stickman fighting game. Although the title is a lie because you probably need two fingers to play it. I think this was the first game I went for 100% achievements.

Apparently it has a sequel which I didn't know about. Both are on sale for pretty much pocket change now too.
