With the rise of Social Media and the infiltration of bots and AI, I just don’t trust most ways to find websites anymore. So I’m including my old-school list of bookmarks here.
This list will change over time, and will auto-check periodically to ensure links still work. Links that are broken will display like so: https://abc.def.ghi – visit at your own risk, unless there is a note after a broken link.
Note: this page was re-created from scratch after clicking through all of my bookmarks in three browsers on two computers, as well as referencing some exports, so the earliest date would be 8 July 2024 – but some of these links have existed in some form or another on this site since 2008, or earlier. If I can find a way, I’ll back-date the earliest ones.

Take control of colonists who land on a world and guide them to survival, or glorious defeat! The game features a "story generator" that can really create some touching stories from your ragtag group of survivors. Recent expansions ("DLC") have added royalty, strange technology, even cthonic nightmares - and then there are mods to add anything else you want.

Stardew Valley - a simple game about farming and village life. Your Grandpa passes on and leaves you his farm, and once the grind of the world has worn you down, you go to that farm to begin again. As of 8 July 2024, I have put in 5,224 hours into this game. And I'll probably put in more. Check out Nexus Mods for more fun.
