Yeah I believe so. But I'm 100% for it, the work they do deserves recognition.
I can understand that their priorities lie with Windows initially. I also prefer Steam for their amazing linux support, but for preservation Steam is also a mess: delisting of games / the fact that the games are not DRM free. A copy you buy on GOG is yours forever, a copy on Steam is less certain. Also know that GOG operates at a fraction of the budget that Steam has, so they don't necessarily have the money to put someone on linux support too. But hopefully in the future this will change!
Honestly, I am often a passionate little toddler explaining stuff that amazed me when I learned it.
There was an issue around male behaviour at an inclusive boxing gym where I train, and I was suddenly super conscious about this and afraid I was part of the problem. But luckily I had some super nice conversations with some of the women training there that explained me that this was not an issue. Of course I am no saint and have also made mistakes, but being passionate about stuff is not the same as mansplaining, and luckily others are able to tell the difference.
Something I did learn from that situation, is how women / non-men are often given less space to speak, and as a man who also loves to speak, I've been more conscious in giving space to everyone. Which is in fact a nice experience, as you learn way more about others and the world when you're not talking :). It's a peaceful experience.
This sounds fun! I don't have access to Minecraft, but would love to know what my seed looks like :).
Thanks for reminding me! Those games were amazing and actually quite similar to Astro Bot in vibe: just wholesome, cute and positive all around!
I didn't enjoy 3 that much, and the new Sackboy game is fun but seems like a different genre almost.
I did really like the PSP and PSVita entries of LBP, if you have access to those devices you should give them a go! Even though they weren't made by the same team, they really captured the essence and both had a great campaign!
Sidenote, do you remember the millions of Shark Attack community levels? That was such a weird trend :).
If you like challenging 2d platformers, I can highly recommend Rite (5 euros on Steam).
Completely matches your description of muscle memory, and once you get there it is so satisfying!
If you are in any way able to get your hands on Astro Bot, I recommend it sooooo much. Even at it's steep price, it's already worth it for me (30 percent completed).
And you can always use my strategy, buy second hand with the ability to sell again when you're finished. I know this does not support the developer, but when money is tight (as is kind of the case for me) I think this doesn't matter.
I edited the post to just platformers, as it was indeed a bit vague! Though I think I was going more for the run-around, collect and jump on enemies kind of deal (Mario, Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, Astro Bot, Banjo-Kazooie, etc).
So less action-platform I guess?
But what do you like about megaman? I've never played any game in that series!
So yeah, as mentioned in the post, I'm currently playing Astro Bot and absolutely loving it.
The gameplay is fun and varied and everything is so playful and full of joy. The music is super wholesome and I love how tactile everything feels.
I'm going through a bit of a harder period mentally and I find that this game can bring moments of wonder and surprise like few others can.
I had a similar experience with Astro's Playroom and Super Mario 3D World. Sometimes a simple, colorful world with happy music and fun mechanics is all you need!

I've finally caved and paid 50 euros for a second hand copy of Astro Bot on PS5, and it is absolutely incredible. I know this game is only available to PS5 players, so I broadened the topic...

The Wolf among us is a genuine masterpiece. The theme music is such a vibe.
The walking dead season 1 and 2 are amazing. 3 not so much. 4 I haven't played yet but heard good things about.
Batman is in my backlog, but I heard the second season especially is unexpectedly good.
I have most of these in my library, but still tempted to buy it for the final season of The Walking Dead and the second season of batman.
The expanse I know nothing about. Tales from monkey island seems decent.
