Wow. Halving the maintenance time. Because I'm sure all those checks were in there just for fun, right?
I really liked your song from the Skyrim mod by the way - I ended up reading more about the mod, and the creators must have put a *lot* of time into it. It's fully voiced and scripted, with new environments, characters, items, cutscenes and everything, and fits into the lore of the game. Nothing like the janky 'approved' mods which are the only ones allowed on it now - like new hats for your horse for £5 and that kind of trash. This was the song I particularly liked from Everybody's gone to the rapture by the way: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2_vT4cxX9RE (It makes more sense in-context, but as a spoiler: it's set in a sleepy English village, where some astronomers make contact with an intelligent pattern of light. The light tries to communicate back, but disintegrates everyone in doing so, making them part of the pattern. You go around finding out what happened to everyone over the course of a day, which fades to sunset and night - this is the music of the end credits)
And haha, don't worry, the Brirish are basically a lame and offensive parody of themselves most of the time! If you do fancy a good, weird, slightly creepy and occult-themed set of puzzle games (no spinning or flying required!), check out the Rusty Lake series (and you'll also find out where my pseudonym came from!)
Yeah, amongst my colleagues I've noticed that too. One colleague used to get Lego models delivered to work for his son, then I noticed he'd stopped doing so for a few months - apparently his son had got into Fortnite, and that was now all he was interested in. 3 years later... he was still just into Fortnite. And Roblox seems to be really popular with people's daughters as well - apparently their friends go on there, so they go on there, and so on... The worst thing about video games is that you rarely improve anything about yourself. I can semi-justify the boxing sim, Viking drumming and puzzle games I've mentioned above, as it's at least a simulation of a real-life skill or requires some brain power (without having to get punched in the face, buy a drum kit or spend £20 a go at an escape room), but what do you learn in Minecraft, Roblox or Fortnite? How to yell at other teenagers?
