Just in time for the weekend, I thought I'd share 3 games that I enjoyed, but might have flew under the radar for most people.

I'll start this off with Your Spider, which has only 13 reviews on Steam. It's been a while since I last played it, but I remember liking it much more than I thought I would. Maybe I'm just a sucker for adorable spiders though.

Steam shows it as not supported on Steam Deck, but it seemed to work just fine on mine.

The game focuses more on puzzles than direct combat, and some of the bosses can only harmed by doing specific things in the right order or at the right time.

Next up is Among Ashes with about 184 reviews. It's somewhat short, but ended up being quite good. The "game within a game" concept is a really nice touch. It does a good job at building tension and generally doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares.

And last, while I guess this game isn't classified as a survival-horror game, I'm including 10 Dead Doves here anyway. Because with only 116 Steam reviews so far, it doesn't feel to me like enough people know about it.

I think some of the reviews on Steam do a better job than I ever could of describing what makes this game special. But it's one of the few games I that made me want to play through a second time. Interesting story, some funny moments, emotional moments, good voice acting. I highly recommend this one.

This is at least the second email I got asking to "collaborate" on Google Play. Protect your accounts, folks.

My favorite part is how he addresses it to himself.

Well, actually my dog found it, but I got a short video.

I'm not sure exactly when, but at some point in the past month I stopped getting text messages in a group chat between my mom and siblings. Weird thing is I don't seem to have any problem getting texts sent just to me, or even with other group texts (as far as I know).

We mostly just share memes and shit, but it drives me nuts thinking that someone could be trying to tell me something and it just doesn't reach my phone.

I had her for at least 18 years and she was special. She was shy and spent 99% of her time in my bedroom, but she was also pretty vocal and would often reply when you spoke to her.

So before anyone mentions it, yes I really did want to put Linux on it (MX Linux is my current favorite), but the person it's for is not very computer savvy and I don't feel like doing tech support, so fuck it, they can keep using Windows.

But before I hand it off, I was wondering what else I should install (and/or what stupid Windows settings to disable) to make it as usable and secure as reasonably possible.

So far I'm thinking Firefox + uBlock Origin, and maybe Avast unless someone has a less annoying free antivirus.

They also seem to realized that the dog can't get them through the glass.

Honestly, I find these emails more amusing than infuriating. Is that $800 per week? Total? I guess I'll never know, because I didn't become a software developer just to work in a warehouse.
