I think part of the reason for that is the flat rails. I certainly prefer the curved ones on the 8.

I came here to say exactly this. My favorite games for 5+ players are Codenames and Sushi Go Party Edition.

There are some really great answers here already that I think are perfect starting points for you. I’ll offer a bit of what I know because everyone’s experience is different.

I don’t have ADHD, but my girlfriend does. She uses Trello to keep track of her school work like assignments, due dates, class information, important links, etc. She also uses Obsidian for her research notes. Between those two and her calendar, she manages to stay pretty organized as long as she looks at them regularly. As another commenter said, having an app on your phone for quick reminders is probably a good idea too.

As for me, I like Obsidian and use two vaults for different purposes. One is for my roleplaying game notes to plan for running games of D&D and others. To organize it I use the Johnny Decimal system because it’s good at separating different projects within one space. I can look at the folder number any time I search or link a note and immediately know if I’ve got the right version of a monster or the right NPC called “Alice” for example.

My other vault is my general knowledge base for all other notes. I recently came across the work of Nick Milo and have adopted his ACE method with some tweaks to tailor it better for how I think and work. It’s a well thought out system and I am starting to see the benefits more and more.

I hope you find the systems and methods that work for you even if Obsidian doesn’t become part of your workflow!

I would personally love to use GOG for their buy-to-own model, but I’m incredibly tied into the Steam ecosystem. I just can’t live without Remote Play Together for playing with distant friends, the Workshop is incredibly convenient for modding, and free no-setup cloud sync of all my saves is a no-brainer. Gabe Newell was right when he talked about piracy being a service issue. If you provide the best service, people will keep coming back.

In that same vein, I’ll never buy another Ubisoft title as long as I live. Their crappy launcher makes it impossible to play their games on Linux.

I see lots of love for Linux in the comments which is awesome, but is there anyone considering making a hackintosh out of their machine? Is that a good route to go these days?

I use an alternative side-loaded Instagram app called Instander which blocks ads and comes with other nice features. I don’t use the platform much anyhow, but when I do it makes the experience actually tolerable.

I was just watching a couple friends of mine stream Remnant 2 earlier and it does look pretty slick. It seems there is at least one puzzle that requires co-op to fully solve, and there may be more further in just so you and others are aware.
