Thanks for this list. I am interested to learn more about many of them.

I love Metroidvanias, I’ll check out fist tomorrow. Prey might be cool for a plane ride too.

I actually have that game and have never even finished the tutorial. Would you recommend I just go blind or do I need to watch some How to video to get started?

I like most stuff, just hoping to find some hidden gems in the comments here.

Thanks! I’ll do that. Even though I grew up with these old games, I’m spoiled by new ones.

I’ve never been on a long flight like this without charging outlets in the plane, so I don’t think it will be a problem.

Yeah! I’ll look into civ 7, but maybe I’ll just stick with civ 5 or 6

Thanks! I have about 750gb of space for games, so I’m going to make sure I’m loaded with options.

Voice to text always messes up that word for me.

I have the L 14 GEN two so it’s probably the same processor and I don’t know if my eight GB is salted or not but I was able to upgrade to 16 GB anyway I noticed that in Lennox I get significantly better battery life. It probably goes from 2 to 3 hours to 4 to 5 maybe.

Seems like it could be fun. I’ll give it a try.

Yeah, weapons. Take a look at shadow complex. It’s a great Metroidvania. You do unlock a power suit at one point, but other than that, you just upgrade your weapons.

I’ve never heard of this. It sounds really interesting.

Thanks! I’ll check that out.

I don’t think much will change in 5 years that is not AI.

Everything is focused on AI right now. So just more powerful hardware that is geared towards running ai is all I think that will happen.

I love collecting books and most of the ones I’ve read, I’d never want to get rid of them.

We are already in ww3. It’s just the start of it and in the future, the year we live in will be part of the dates people study when they study ww3.

Oh yeah, what I was trying to say is that my earbuds are so bad on planes, that I want to upgrade to noise canceling headphones.

Thanks! I have a 14 hour flight coming up and I’m considering a pair as my earbuds hardly work over the engine noise.

What brand did you get?

I don’t think framework comes out to be much cheaper if any cheaper than a MacBook Air.
