I don't typically go for racing games, but I have fond memories of playing Extreme-G on the N64. It had wepons, high speeds, and a soundtrack that tricked a young me into thinking I might like techno music.

I went through this just a few weeks ago. It was really hard seeing her refuse to eat anything. But at least she seemed to like looking outside, laying on her favorite blanket.

Had to put mine down several weeks ago. She was also 18. I lost several other pets and four grandparents without shedding a tear, but this one broke me.
The vet appointment was at 6pm, so I could spend the last day with her. She acted more or less normal for her age, except not eating for three days and throwing up water.
I was rubbing her head until her heart stopped. I still miss her so much.

I didn't migrate yet because I was five years into a project that I can only work on in my spare time, but you can bet that if I ever start another game, I'm looking at a different engine.

Litter box

My cat used to wait for me to clean the litter box. Sometimes she'd look in it and walk away if it had too many clumps, but then use it immediately after I clean it.

Interviews

I got insanely lucky wit my job. I responded to an email that came through my college CS department about a potential job and got an in-person interview with the CEO of a tiny company nobody has heard of. The guy's personality made it easier to talk to him despite my anxiety.
Instead of the bullshit riddles that every other tech job interview has, he sent me home with a simple assignment to make a simple webpage where a user could log in.
After submitting that, I kinda forgot about it until several month later when I randomly decide to check my school email account and found an email from him that was almost a month old (my PC wasn't working before that, and I didn't need to use it much at the time).
I replied just in time. 12 years later I'm the most senior developer.

I think this is the only thread where I actually haven't seen any of the games before.
Another game I enjoyed was The Eternal Castle (remastered). It's a remake of a game from 1987. The animation is great and the visual style is really cool.

I always like to give a mention to Your Spider. There are very few reviews (one of which are mine), but the game definitely deserves more attention.

Had to put my cat down on Monday. She was with me for at least 18 years. That morning was rougher than I expected. I've lost several pets and all four grandparents without shedding a tear, but this was much harder.
I put on a youtube video of birds for her to watch, as I had many times before. Seeing her watching it as if she wasn't feeling sick, knowing it was my last day with her, it fucking broke me.

Recently found out our dog has Addison's disease. But worse than that, my cat seems to be on her way out. Not eating, but throwing up water.

At the place I work at, the time logs are used as line items on invoices. Basically, if we don't have the logs, the company can't charge clients for our time. But I'm guessing that's not typical?

VR headset. I mean, I don't fully regret it yet, as I might someday find a VR game that I actually want to play, am able to play in the small space I have, and that doesn't make me nauseous within 15 minutes.
I just got a bill for a Wayfair credit card that was issued by Citi bank that I did not apply for. I never even shopped on that website. I tried contacting both Citi bank and Wayfair, but since I don't have the full account number, I couldn't get past Citi's automated phone menu. Wayfair's phone system was a fucking nightmare getting transferred to various departments, but eventually transferred me to a foreign call center where they insisted that they needed my social security number and birth date to file a report, but I'm not giving them that. The best thing is that the scammer managed to get a higher credit limit than I was able to get on my own card.
For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food.  Add some glue and you have a little tent for your cat. 
I only ask because the bulging seems slight enough that I'm not 100% certain that's not just how the battery is supposed to look. This is inside a Lenovo ideapad flex 4. I only opened it to replace the hard drive.
After I showed her one of the bird videos, she now eagerly waits while I turn on the tablet in the morning and she watches me open Youtube and pick a video. Sometimes she accidentally closes the video, or opens the comments and then I need to step in to make sure she doesn't post any offensive comments. 
This isn't really meant to save anyone's life. But it would let someone know to come pick up your corpse before it melts into the carpet and your cat starves.
I don't remember why I originally bothered to read this manual 25 years ago, but I ended up reading it to enjoy the jokes and humorous writing it contained.        
She's clearly having fun, running around in circles, chewing sticks, and finding and eating cat poop. And I don't want to discourage her from having fun when I take her outside (except for the cat poop thing -- that needs to stop). But she seems to have the idea that jumping up and biting my wrists or my ankles is a fun game that we both enjoy, and she seems to be getting more agressive about it. 
  
Let me preface this one by saying that the blame for this is entirely on me and my carelessness when shopping online. I did not get scammed. I was just being stupid. Several times. So I recently bought a synthesizer to connect to my MIDI controller (an 88 key keyboard with some knobs and blinking lights and shit). I saw that this new device has a 3.5mm MIDI port while I only had the classic 5-pin kind. No problem, I'll buy an adapter. The adapter arrives, and I discover that the one I bought has the female 5-pin connector and won't plug into the keyboard. Well, crap. Buy another adapter. Made sure the 5-pin side was male. Oops. Turns out that the 3.5mm MIDI cables come in type A or type B, and I chose poorly. So I search for "midi type a to b converter" and without thinking at all, I bought a converter that has two female connectors. Fuck me. At this point, a sane person would've just cut the first two adapters and soldered the correct ends together, but fuck it, I'm in too deep now. I gotta get a 3.5mm MIDI cable with two male ends to complete this daisy-chain of madness and find out how long it takes for me to get bored and find another hobby.
   Not sure what happened to this guy's wings.
I'm tired of hearing about popular games. Are there any games you played and were surprised by how little attention it got? A game you really enjoyed, but was only reviewed by five people?
(Quarter for scale)  
I have an app that I released a couple years ago (plus another legacy app that I maintain for one of my company's clients). My game has a long-ish title, but it was fine until some asshat at Google decides that 33 characters is too long. On top of that, every time I'm forced to update the target SDK, I need to spend several hours figuring out a bunch of new build errors. This is not how I wanted to spend my vacation time.
 
I've been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy. But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?
