Just to be explicit, Subnautica: Below Zero is the entry featuring the female protagonist, Robin, not the first game.
Another recommendation for Linux Mint here. I've bounced between Manjaro, Ubuntu, Fedora, and I've found Linux Mint to just be fantastic for beginners, in that everything just works, and it does a great job of guiding the user through installation, updating drivers, updating packages (including choosing an appropriate package mirror), and setting up backups.
It's just really nice all around; the only thing I could complain about is lack of touchpad gesture support, but that's probably not an issue for desktop PC usage.

It's a shocking revelation when you discover the sun station doesn't even do anything, when up to that point you might think to yourself that it's the sun station that causes the supernova.
The kids know the grind is bullshit, and they see becoming an influencer as a way to escape that.
I have a strong doubt that kids see influencers as an "escape" from the grind, but rather as a "cool" career path where they can get fame and admiration from many people without a whole lot of study or physical labour put in.
Bloons TD 6. Just so incredibly addicting, and there's depth to the different monkeys and how they interact, especially when you think about all the upgrades.
I exported a bunch of m3u's from MusicBee, and Jellyfin picked 'em up just fine. Thanks for the tip!
Seems like Plex is making things difficult though, not showing up at all. What a pain.
That's so cool! How long did it take you to make this?
I'm definitely a bit of a newbie when it comes to VNs, but here're my thoughts:
- Doki Doki Literature Club - Great VN to start off with if you don't mind some horror. It's especially effective if you've played a number of VNs already
- YOU and ME and HER - Where DDLC is more suited for a general (western) audience, YOU and ME and HER leans more heavily into being a visual novel. It's a pretty good time.
- STEINS;GATE - The absolute masterpiece that everyone recommends, and is one of my all-time favourite sci-fi stories featuring time travel and the realistic ramifications of such an ability. If you've already watched the anime, there's lots of content it glossed over so as to find in a 25 episode series, such as the entirety of Chapter 7, and an optional section of Chapter 9.
- STEINS;GATE 0 - Sequel* (not actually a sequel, but takes place during the true end of STEINS;GATE) to STEINS;GATE, and is one I've been making my way through. It's also a great time, and explores some pretty unique ideas for its time.
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy - The classic DS game remastered to a PC release, its humour still holds up to this day, and it's a really nice balance of visual novel style text after text, and actual gameplay mechanics. I would encourage the use of a guide if you struggle in some court cases, as it's not always obvious what you need to be doing.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion has a lot of love and care put into mods. Being a sci-fi game, plenty of Star Trek / Star Wars / etc. conversions that do more than just reskin the models.
I had no idea the game had a modding scene. What sorta mods are out there, and what would you recommend?
I feel strongly that once games reach a certain age, there should be laws preventing companies from going after freely transmissible copies of said game. If you can't buy a console from the manufacturer and you can't buy the game from the publisher, then where's the harm?
Happy paying customer here, it's great to see the innovations they're making and their interactions with the community.
