  • I struggle with open ended projects, so I try to choose things with a clear outcome e.g. give me some PC hardware to play with, I’ll tinker and get bored after a few hours, but if I plan to build a media centre (or whatever) that I’ll put into use, then I’ll commit weeks to researching and building a nice little box.

    Same at work, I try to set myself achievable short term goals, so I get a regular sense of progression and value. To be fair, I don’t have big problems focusing, but I’m easily distracted when bored or directionless.











  • Great recommendations there, each got under my skin. I feel the same about David Lynch films, they connect with something inside me, and lodge permanently in my brain.

    I’d put What Remains of Edith Finch, Dear Esther, Talos Principle, Stanley Parable, Metroid Prime and maybe Portal 1+2 in there too - they share an authentically mysterious vibe.

    Obra Dinn and Outer Wilds hit me hard, they nailed the atmosphere perfectly. Haven’t actually played DE, was a bit put off by the sheer amount of dialogue, but I need to try it.
