Unfortunately i don’t think my little laptop could handle more than 2, maybe 3 layers deep, making my efforts of little relevance to an actual study about the problem

Wow, definitely a more complete response than i expected. Thanks a lot

Strawberry jam for celeste. It’s a huge collaborative project that introduces 100+ levels (base game has 25) with a really wide range of difficulties, graphical styles, new mechanics, original music and ideas on par with the quality from the base game. Definitely a must play if you like 2d platformers

You could try lunacid, it’s not old but definitely old style.

I know it’s not what you asked for but i think you would enjoy the doom games, specifically eternal but 2016 is also great.

It has great campaign, great music, arguably the best combat system in a shooter game, it’s highly replayable, 20€ with all the dlcs when on sale and when played on higher difficulties it becomes extremly technical.

It also has a multiplayer mode but i don’t know too much about it

I love learning how things work. Disassembling laptops is extremely stressful the first time (especially if it’s your only pc) but it becomes fun when your realize that they’re (usually) meant to be opened; it becomes stressful when you open items that aren’t supposed to be, like anything that uses glue as a build material. It also helps seeing things less like a magic box and more like a logic interaction between things, meaning i learn how to use them the right way. And congratulations for fixing your laptop, it always seems harder that it actually is

Disassembling stuff. Usually electronics but also items with cool mechanisms like a clock

I did play a lot a couple years ago completely f2p and in the late game the artifact farming gets really bad, to the point that you farm for weeks for one character. It’s not necessary to clear the story (at least in the past) but in the late abyss is mandatory and it kills any will to try off-meta/more fun builds. Still a lot of fun if you play casually.

Italy: It’s really hard to beat pizza, maybe a good lasagna or a “cacio e pepe” pasta depending on the mood.

I only recently started playing older titles with the original half life and i guess that put my bar for masterpiece a little too high. I still consider it a good game, probably i would have appreciated it more when it came out.

Yea that seems great

Monster hunter world. I bought it to have a replacement for genshin and it worked a little too well. It just feels different from any other game for how many things it does so well: from enemies to armor design to music to mechanics to weapon variety, everything is amazing.
