I was in my early 20s when BG1, BG2, NWN, and Icewind Dale came out. The hype was real, and it was a spectacular time in gaming.

I’ll keep Gmail for any shit I might want to sign up for and use ProtonMail as my serious email account.

Wadjet Eye games are soooo good.

Have you checked out Caves of Lore? It’s a great party based rpg with deep lore and created by a single developer. It reminds me of Jeff Vogel’s work a bit.

These days I often just skip the first 2 pages and go straight to page 3 for my search results to be able to find anything slightly resembling what I searched for.

For me it’s more that I forget where I was and what I was up to, as well as having to reacquaint myself with the controls. Shorter games don’t have that problem.

Against the storm is on my wish list! Just waiting for a good discount.

Caves of lore; a pixel (up to 6) party turn based RPG created by a single very active developer. Has shades of Jeff Vogel in it for me. Great little game that not many have heard of.
