First up, from @sesmith.lol: The internet is forever. But also, it isn’t. What happens to our culture when websites start to vanish at random?

What happens when the internet disappears?
Huge swaths of the web are vanishing. What does that do to our culture?

I regret to inform you all (and any Game Scoop listeners here) that I've been sucked back into Vampire Survivors so all I care about now is watching pixels explode satisfyingly and unlocking increasingly esoteric and unknowable secrets after every run.
I'll be back to conveyor belt games soon.

I've put 25 hrs into Against the Storm and I totally agree with the Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.
It's a super clever, satisfying, and addictive roguelike city builder.
Semi-random roguelite setup = you get the best parts of a city builder (the opening 1-2 hrs!) w/o it just feeling repetitive.

I played through most of Little Rocket Lab over the last few weeks and enjoyed it. A fun blend of Factorio + Stardew Valley:
store.steampowered.com/app/2451100/...
It's not as good as either of those all-time classics and isn't meant to last 100+ hours, but it's a very satisfying ~20hr journey.

IDK who needs to hear this but Kairosoft has been publishing their games to steam for a while now and they're discounted as part of the autumn sale.
Stacking game discounts + bundle discounts gets them down to ~$2-3 each, which is the right price for them IMO.
I just nabbed a bunch!

Upon reflection, I have figured out that my favorite genre of game is "just a bunch of weird little guys, running around."
Starcraft, Pikmin, Dwarf Fortess, Tropico, Kingdom Rush, Vampire Survivors.
Banished, Civilization, Rimworld.
Factorio is technically one guy but it counts thanks to bots.
