That's what I found

Meanwhile I take my ritalin and go to sleep regularly lol

1. Minecraft - Was my absolute childhood and I met so many good friends and learnt a lot throughout my time playing the game.
2. Skate 2 - The controls are perfect, the vibe is amazing, it's just one of my overall favourites.
3. GTA V - The first R rated game I played. Both this game and Fallout 3 were massive inspirations for me focusing on 3D environments as a Game Dev student.

Honourable mention to Little Big Planet and Rollercoaster Tycoon Deluxe; both of which absolutely shaped my childhood

Here are some that I have found useful:

Game tracking:

• HowLongToBeat - Track your backlog, see how long a game might take to beat
• Retro Achievements - Achievements for retro games

Game art:

• SteamGridDB - Game art banners etc. to personalise your Steam library
• Steam Game Covers - Box Art for Steam games

Compatability

• Does It Play? - Lets you know if a game plays out of box or requires extra downloads or codes
• Proton DB - Compatibility ratings and advice for gaming on Linux

Game Deals:

• Fanatical - Can often find games cheaper here
• Humble Bundle - Does game bundles with proceeds going to charity, often has good games in the bundles.
• CeX - Can pick up second hand physical games for cheap here
• GOG - DRM free games

Mostly just disability aids and stuff to help me keep up my skills after finishing my game dev course, nothing particularly fun haha

Did buy a new mouse for my computer and a couple of games on Steam too though.

So proud of you congrats!
