Oh, I'd forgotten about Secret World! It looks like it's been updated to Secret World Legends -- might have to give that a try.
I've been playing Diablo 4 this week; I can't even begin to tell you how many gleeful hours I put into Diablo 2 back in the day, but this one is feeling more like a chore than fun. There's a part of me that wants to just grind out to 100 to get there but I recognize sunk-cost fallacy when I see it, so I'm at least taking a break for a while.
A friend gifted me Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor during the Steam sale so that's probably on the menu for this weekend. My 12-year-old has played a couple from that series and enjoyed the puzzles so I'll see if they want to play it with me. I also picked up the stealth puzzle game Gunpoint and am looking forward to giving that a go.
Cool! I've sent him the link to this, much appreciated!
Ooh, decompiling would probably also be super-useful for seeing how things were done. Thanks, and that's great news about your colleague's kid!
Oh my goodness, thank you for the heads-up!
Donald Glover's "Weirdo" is like 10 years old at this point but still funny.
Yeah, I'd read that about C++. But Godot and Unity seem to be the favored recommendations here, so we'll give those a go!
I don't know how my generation survived before YouTube! I've found that *literally *anything I've needed to know, someone has uploaded a video tutorial on how to do it.
I'd been looking at those books! There are some saved on my Amazon wishlist, I might pick a couple up for when he comes back from vacation.
That's two votes for Godot -- we'll take a look into that!

One of my children got me The Coffin of Andy and Lelyey for Christmas, so that's in progress. Finally downloaded Alan Wake 2 (which I've been eagerly anticipating forever) since it was on sale, so that's on deck.
I think the only game I played last year that actually came out in 2023 was Diablo 4 and I refuse to call that my favorite. (I did play most of the old Shadowrun games though and enjoyed them immensely.)
