This is a difficult one to answer as most RPGs I can think of have some combination of the stuff that puts you off. Have you tried the Witcher 3 (great story, and the RPG elements are fairly simplified) or Deus Ex: Human Revolution? And if you've played Nier Replicant and enjoyed it, I think you'd love Nier Automata.

I've started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I've added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?

I agree with what others have said about gamifying life. For example, 'oh it's 5pm, I need to spend 30 minutes doing some tidying before I can play a game again'. And for games with no clear end point, set yourself goals so you know when to take a break. 'Once I've built this factory, I need to take an hour's break before I can play again'.

Unfortunately emulation isn't all that great for these games on Deck. The PS2 versions are laggy. PS3 actually works a lot better than expected, although one of the final scenes in MGS3 has some slowdown. If this version can be fixed, it may be the best option for the deck. I'm definitely not paying the price they're charging though.

Damn, I really want a decent way to play 2&3 on Deck. Given the lazy ports, I'm tempted to wait for some updates to fix things and then find alternative methods of obtaining these.

Yeah I agree with this. Both sides have committed atrocities. The innocent people caught in the middle suffer.

ctrl+1 and ctrl+2. Buuuut it doesn't work when a game is running :(

I've considered learning python to try and write a plugin that could help with this... but I don't imagine I'll be ready with that any time soon as I basically have no programming knowledge.

Why do these people hold a position of power?

I'd love a new open world Red Faction game. Guerilla was so fun!

Yesss these adverts are driving me insane! I assume they must be paying them a ton. The game is probably only artificially popular because of this huge advertising campaign which appears to be aimed at older generations whose only exposure to videogames is the whole candy crush genre. So perhaps seeing these 'celebrities' playing the game will entice them.

Why they feel the need to advertise to me though, I have no idea. I'm never going to play that game.

That's actually a very simple solution that I imagine would be pretty effective!

It leads me to wonder - is the granular separation more pronounced in a horizonal section (where you'd have more surface area for particles to fall between) or a vertical section (where gravity would have a greater effect)?

Whoa that's awesome. If it's not immediately clear from the title, this is the Science Museum in London. If you've ever in London, I'd highly recommend it - loads to see (including an IMAX). This arcade looks huge and I love how they've split it into different eras and genres.
