Should’ve been called Icarus

Why use Drake when I could instead make a twoset reference

I believe that NitroKeys are open-source. The New Oil did a video covering them.

If you don’t mind his particular style, the SsethTzeentach video is what convinced me to give it a fair shake. The in-game tutorial and tooltips are pretty good though, and will get you started. Overtime you’ll discover more and more systems. Oh and just so you know, the demo is the full game, but a version behind.

Have to throw CK3 out as my personal favorite grand strategy game (though EU4 and the like are other options). There’s nigh infinite content in weaving the story of your family and realm, and mods add a whole new layer to it.

Tossing Song of Syx onto the pile of games. Even if you don’t care for the art style, the game is immensely deep, and quite frankly, addictive.

Definitely was my first thought. I think that I’ve spent way more time on that game than I’d like to admit.

Maybe Storm In a Tea Cup by Helen Czerski for a book outside your comfort zone. It’s quite the interesting exploration of the principles of physics that underpin the world around us.

Ello, and thanks for the shoutout! Was there anything in particular you wanted to ask me about?

Thank you very much for these (very) thorough selections! And the associated links as well haha
