Ok, the statue makes it great for me. Those people really like the idea, so hats off to them and Ave Zhelaizhai!

I have to admit I'm not into the complex strategy games myself, because I dislike that the first 100 hours are just the tutorial. But I heard good things about Stellaris, although you need apparently some of the DLCs, so wait for a sale there. Endless Legends and Endless Space are different games but both in the same universe, but the latter is in space and the other based on fantasy. And I saw enough memes about Crusader Kings 2 to know that it is Crazy Story Generator in Medieval Times.

I played

Sanctum 2, a fun mix of FPS and tower defense. There still are some active players, although it might take a while to get a full 4 player game.

And 3 new games which don't fit the community rulesTiny Glade is a really nice relaxing game to turn your imagination into reality and build small castles and medieval towns. Hopefully they expand the contents, but even now it was really fun to just experiment a bit.

Age of Mythology: Retold still is fun to me, although I don't play it as a serious PvP game, but rather to have fun together with a friend and relive our old LAN games together.

Still wakes the Deepis freshly installed, but couldn't yet play it, probably on the weekend.

I would say PC only games mainly consists of complex strategy games like StarCraft or Total War and small indie titles that were not ported to a console like Dwarf Fortress. I would argue in general that there aren't really any must play titles, it all depends on what genres you like.

I would recommend Oneshot, which is in the second category and similar to Undertale. While there is a console port, it loses a lot of appeal due to a certain spoilery mechanic if you play it not on a PC.

Other games I like in the indie category:

  • FTL: Faster than Light
  • Into the Breach
  • Baba is you
  • Renowned Explorers

On the strategy side there are real time strategy games like StarCraft 2, Age of Empires 4/Age of Mythology, all of the MOBA games like Dota 2 or complex 4X games like Hearts of Iron 1-4 and all of the Total War series etc. I personally like AoE4 and the new remake for AoM.

If you like those totally depends on you.

Except Half-Life, that one is PC only and must play. I suggest to play the remake Blackmesa and Half Life 2, then you don't need to play a 20 year old game.

Well, he did call the person he thought was racist a mutual...

While I understand your feelings (I have such a friend myself), if graphics are most important to them, they are perfectly entitled to that opinion! I always interject, that my friend is missing out on great gameplay experiences but it is on them what they like and value most.

I think they mean Teflon coating. While Teflon itself is not carcinogenic, the chemicals used in its production are in the PFAS group and not so healthy. The question is then if those chemicals are sufficiently removed in the end.

I think 4 was too high...

Just putting it here without comment does not give this video justice. What a strange but unique way to make a game presentation.

Well, maybe he is talking about his own experiences? He is in the Republican party after all.

Well yes, of course. They sell you an installer and it's on you to download it. That the servers could be turned off at one point in the future because the company doesn't have money any more should be clear. It's on you to save the installer on your own hard drive, not the companies!
