VR development expectation: This is great, it will make me naturally not sit at my desk all the time and make sure I move around naturally!

VR development reality: Can't be bothered to move, I'll just test at my desk. woops, almost knocked the monitor over. Ouch, I hit my hand against the desk

Other people: I read before bed so I can fall asleep easier.
Me: I read before bed and then I can't stop until the book is finished and oh god it is 3 am, how did the time go by so fast?

Totally feel you and project Hail Mary is a really good book!

joke aside, I play a lot of boardgames online, got both Wingspan and Terraforming Mars on Steam :) . But would like to see other games that are not specifically ports of a boardgame

My favourite boardgame right now is Ark Nova. It hits all my buttons of engine building, economy, worker placement, strategy and replayability.

Does anyone know any PC games that have similar elements? Would love some recommendations :)
