I tend to not really care for most new things, as most of it feels cheap, inauthentic or a scam to further the surviellance facist oligarchy state. Id be completely content with time frozen in 2004.

So, to be a little more positive, what are some new things that are actually good?

Note, to me, new is within the last 10 years.

I’ll start. The fediverse concept is neat.

    Gaming:

    • Steam Deck and Linux gaming altogether
    • Solo TTRPGs
    • The TTRPG space in general
    • Board games

    Music making:

    • Dirtywave M8
    • Synthstrom Deluge
    • Elektron Digitakt
    • An absolute flood of amazing software and plugins
    • Tons of pedals from boutique manufacturers
    • Music software for mobile devices
    • Import guitars are top notch without breaking the bank

    PS: A ten year old GTX 1080ti can still run most modern games at 1080p…which is still a very popular entry level monitor resolution.

        I’d start with the one that really kicked the segment into high gear; Ironsworn. More specifically, its sci-fi (western in space) sequel, Ironsworn:Starforged.

        Also, most Free League games that have been released lately have included a solo mode. Also a solo mode for Cyberpunk Red has also been recently released. Most if not all of these solo modes have been inspired or heavily influenced by Ironsworn.

        Also, the PDF of the original Ironsworn is free to download. Although the setting (think viking) is not to everyone’s liking, there are hundreds of re-skins and hacks for it.

      Still running a 980ti Classified, there’s only a handful in the overlap of “Games I want to play” and “Games I can’t play” diagram at 1440.
