Glad I'm not a strawman. This would have fucking wrecked me.

Apart from my oxygen that is Factorio, I play Heretic's Fork. The game desperately needs a manual, but I'm enjoying it.

I love that game. I think it's the only game that presents dissociation and "functional depression" if that is even a phrase. There is a feeling of an unreliable narrator, but not to the extent of outright lies or hallucinations. Just everything looks out of place, disgusting, ugly and stupid.

Playing the game I feel like I am pretending to be functional in a world I despise, among people I find disgusting or irrelevant.

It's something.

Atrio: The Dark Wild - has you control a clone with a limited life span. When you die and resume from a new clone, the old clone corpse is lying around and you can harvest it for parts necessary to continue the story.

Sifu - when you "die" your character ages and gets stronger before trying again.

Karateka - plays a lot like a regular game with lives, but it's not the same life. Every time you have to resume from a new life, it's a different person attempting to get to the end.

Shadow of Mordor - when you are killed by an orc, you resurrect from a spirit. The orc, however, gets high-fives from all his mates and gets promoted, plus some new skills. Next time you see him he will call you out.

Hades - the entire story is based around you repeatedly failing and dying.

Super Meat Boy - well basically you die and restart, but when you finally beat the level, you get an instant replay with all your failed attempts simultaneously playing on top of it. The effect is more glorious the more you struggled to beat the level.

Having to build roboport bridges across large bodies of water for no other reason than that, was so annoying

My hilarious doctor, prescribing me medicine that I will take the rest or my life:

"Take one of these every evening for the next 40 years"

Played it. Agree with you.

Did you check if Google Family Link allows you to lock smartphones down to a satisfactory degree?

This sucks.

Can't ditch it completely due to family, but got a few more contacts over on Signal after this announcement.
