GOG: Syndicate Wars, Syndicate Plus, Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 Giveaway

I respect and appreciate what GoG is doing with their DRM-free software.

In case you also struggle with moving on from spending what feels like too much time in videogame space: This post caught my attention to the point where I browsed GoG a bit before coming back to my chosen reality where I choose more often what I do with my time. Currently I choose to play a couple hours with friends once or twice a week, and I’m looking for alternatives (but if gaming is the best way for us to keep in touch, that’s okay; sometimes the safer spaces games offer is a fitting venue). Community science[0] is something I can do alone or with my threenager and it needn’t take much mental effort, just time, and that escape was in hindsight a major reason I played videogames; I didn’t have to sit with and observe my emotions.

One thing I loved about Syndicate Wars was that, as you get more cybernetic limbs and organs for your agents they start breathing in their little profile screen.
