Legend of Dragoon is super under-rated. All these remakes going on, I’d kill for that to be one of them.
It’s been a long time, but the combo timing system from LoD was something I loved a lot. Want to say that Shadow Hearts for PS2 had a similar style of iteration on traditional JRPG battle systems, where they landed on a timing minigame to make it stand out. If you’ve not played the series before, I highly suggest it.
Mass Effect is the only game I ever played where I read -every single entry- of lore in the encyclopedia. First game with achievements I did 100% on as well. I built my own Normandy models, even… both of the SR-1 and -2.
I hope ME4 is a return to form when it releases. I also hope the TV series I’ve heard about treats the franchise well… The story would do well as a prestige title IMO so I’ll be super bummed if they don’t do it justice.

Shoresy
I like having background noise, and find that I focus better when something is running that I can follow without paying full attention to it. I’ve seen these 3 all the way through over 20 times, at least so they’re useful for that. I also just plain love the shows… Shoresy S2 can’t land soon enough.
That feeling when you take over a spaghetti’d project from a consultant firm and the application breaks when you look at it wrong.
You can set Bitwarden to require your master password for higher security logins. I keep a separate vault for work and personal things… Everything in my work vault requires it’s master password to use them. The OTPs are useless without credentials, and you need the master password to get at those even when the vault is unlocked. YMMV but to me, this was “good enough” to ensure a separation of concerns between low and high risk.
Same here, though I’m starting to move my OTP over to Bitwarden as well. Way more convenient - as a developer, I spend a lot of time off my phone. Makes more sense to let Bitwarden manage those so I don’t have to pick up my phone as often.
I’m also slightly distrustful of closed-source Authy, whereas Bitwarden is open source and audited for security by third parties.
System Shock 2
Many games come close for me… Mass Effect, Zelda Link to the Past, Factorio and Homeworld would round out my top 5 for instance. But System Shock 2 was my first immersive sim game. It started a love affair with the genre that I’m still trying to scratch 25 years later.
There were many spiritual successors, with Arkane’s Prey being the closest approximation I’ve found. Nightdive just released the original System Shock’s remake a month back, so the wait for them to announce they’re giving SS2 the remake treatment is torture.
