This game is genuinely super fun. I really enjoyed super hexagon and after beating that game went to play this and I was not disappointed at all. This improves on the og game in nearly every possible way and makes it in an endlessly replayable experience with lots of potential. It presents many new levels that are significantly difficult compared to super hexagon at a variety of different skill levels. This gives people who played super hexagon a new way to test their skills and be rewarded for it. In addition to this, the game supports custom levels which there are quite a few of and many of them are extremely polished and provide insane amounts of extra content. The leaderboard system placed in numerous levels constantly gives you a reason to go back and play many of them even after you get achievements on them and there are many ways you can improve. There is also a tightknit community that is really nice. If you enjoyed super hexagon or any of the above sounds fun to you, this $5 game is a steal plain and simple.

This is a really fun and challenging arcade style game where you point an arrow through obstacles of increasing speed, complexity, and shape. There are numerous levels in the game and it has a great soundtrack. Just today I completed the final stage and that stage was significantly harder than any other stage by a long shot. It took me a couple weeks of on and off playing, but it was worth it because doing well in this game is satisfying and gets you into a flow state. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good challenge and satisfying gameplay.

This is a charming little Farming Idler / incremental game where you grow crops, fruits and vegetables from trees and bushes, and have animals that make produce. All of these things are collected for money which is used to buy better plants, animals, garden expansions, guard dogs, and a myriad of other things. You also have to guard your crops from a bunch of animals like birds, foxes, moles, and more. This becomes negligible later in the game but can be quite annoying in the beginning. It takes around a day or 2 to complete assuming you leave your computer on the whole time, it is relaxing, has nice pixel art, is short, and it is fun to watch your helpers get things for you as you expand your empire and watch money roll in. A cute idle game that I would recommend.

This game is easily one of my favorite open world fps games. You basically play as Jason Brody, an American who had his friends kidnapped by pirates and had his brother killed at the hands of Vaas, an evil man who controls groups of pirates. You have to go around the island to complete missions finding your friends, clearing out pirate camps, and hunting the endemic wildlife to craft better equipment. The game takes place on a chain of Islands that is heavily inspired by the Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and Papua New Guinea. These influences drive the game to have a lush rainforest which has many uniques species of plants and animals. There are also mountains and many places with crystal clear water. The story shows Jason Brody going through hardship and change as a person as he delves into near insanity seeing his brother be killed in his arms and he uses a wide variety of guns and skills to fuel his path to retribution to Vaas. This game is a fun action packed story with enough content like outposts, radio towers, trials, equipment upgrades, skills, and collectibles to keep you entertained for atleast a few dozen hours. Overall, a very good game that I would still say is worth experiencing and exploring 12 years after its initial inception.

This is a fun little quick game, I recommend it for the quick 100%

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase

Crashed Eggs with Potatoes and Tomatoes is a tasty breakfast or brunch dish inspired by a Spanish tapas dish.

Ingredients
Olive oil
Half an onion, thinly sliced
2 small potatoes, thinly sliced (scrub well and you can leave the peel on)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp smoked paprika (for a chorizo vibe)
200g tinned tomatoes (In summer use fresh)
2-3 (or 4) eggs
Salt and pepper
Parsley
Instructions
Warm 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium sized frying pan, then sauté the onion along with the thin potato slices for around 8 minutes until crisp. If your potatoes are taking a while to cook and some water and a lid for a few minutes (what we call steam frying) then remove and allow the water to evaporate.
Remove the onions and potatoes from the pan, then add the garlic for 30 seconds before adding the smoked paprika, tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Allow the tomatoes to bubble before you add the potatoes and onions back in. The tomatoes add flavour rather than being a liquid to poach the eggs in.
Next make space for the eggs in the pan, then crack and crash them in from above. If the yolks don't split when you crash them break them up gently with a fork. Don't be tempted to scramble them. Cook the eggs for a few minutes, then take the frying pan straight to the table.
Season with black pepper and add parsley.

This has probably been my favorite 100 cats game because the music and art is very nice and the cat locations were creative.

Obs is what I use for recording videos and I am glad to see it on steam because when I need to record gaming videos I likely have my steam library easy to access. So this a worthwhile software if you want a free and easy way to record videos at the convenience of being on steam.
