I really like the lore behind the vaults in the Fallout games. The only book I know that's somewhat similar is Wool, are there any others?

I really enjoy time loop games where the player can explore and there's a story, and isn't just a puzzle game. I played Outer Wilds a few years ago and I loved everything about it, it's my favorite in the genre.

Ones I've played and liked / have on my list to play that look good:

• Outer Wilds - (I still need to play the DLC)
• Deathloop
• Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
• Undertale?
• The Sexy Brutale
• Zero Escape series (on my list to play)

Ones I don't like as much:

• The Forgotten City - I liked the story (for the most part) but I felt it was spoiled far too early. I think by being a shorter non-linear game that was likely to happen. I got 3/4 endings in 6 hours. It was very hand-holdy which I didn't like. It had quests and quest markers which I felt didn't help the game at all. I wish it went the Outer Wilds approach and instead listed everything you learned, so the player would have to piece together what they needed to do next.
• Twelve Minutes - I watched a playthrough of this game. The story was very interesting, but I don't think I would have the patience for the puzzles, it's a puzzle heavy game. I would like a game with more exploration.
• Minit - Played it for ~3 hours, it was interesting but I would like a longer time loop.

These games have a time travel mechanic which I still enjoy but aren't really what I'm looking for:

• Braid - The story is very interesting but it's a puzzle platformer with levels.
• Life is Strange - I love this game but it's a time travel game rather than a time loop.
• Chrono Trigger - I think this game has time travel instead of a time loop, it's still on my list to play.
• Steins;gate (now on my list to rewatch rather than play, and it's more time travel rather than groundhog day time loop).

Are there any hidden gems I'm missing? Preferably looking for games I can play on PC but I also have a Switch, Wii U, and 3DS.

I'm on windows 10.

I occasionally like to play valorant with friends and starting in the middle of this month it's going to require TPM 2.0 to be enabled. I currently can't easily enable it because I'm on legacy BIOS for a reason I can't remember (and when I switch to UEFI, it can't see my windows installation). I have a new SSD that I can format in hopefully the right way to enable UEFI in the BIOS, but before I dive into fixing this mess I have some questions about TPM 2.0.

1. If I enable TPM 2.0, can windows decide to update to windows 11 without my input?

Edit, I looked into this a bit and windows makes it very very easy to click to install windows 11. It's kind of disguised as a regular windows update notification :/

1. Are there any downsides to enabling TPM 2.0? Are there any exploits I should be worried about? Will some legally acquired software not run anymore?
2. Bonus question - why would Riot Vanguard (valorant's anti-cheat software) need TPM 2.0 to be enabled? Would it be a way for them to stop players from playing on a virtual machine? Or is it more so they can stop cheaters?

Second time I've done this play, it's so damn fun.

The first time I tried this my partner and I didn't know if changing the location would keep turn 7 or not, but I'm glad it does.

I'm only at collector level 193 but I'm really enjoying the on reveal destroy cards that I have (Wolverine, Carnage, Deathlok). Currently I have Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur in the deck as well. I just can't wait to get Venom and more cards that work well with a destroy deck!

A very niche tv show at this point, but it's very very good /c/personofinterest

I think this is my favorite game ever, but I still haven't played the DLC yet (I swear I'll get around to it someday).

I'm not sure about the reduced frights setting. Are there jumpscares? And does it eliminate them or give more warning? I'm a complete coward when it comes to jumpscares 😭
