im just a stupid young adult, but fwiw, i myself would just total it out to insurance for a new one. i actually like my own shitbox enough that if that happened to me id probably just replace it with the same model/year.
e: just reading your other comments where you said insurance likely wouldnt take this route, thats a shame :(

how deep in the degeneracy do you have to be to see those public links, and then /follow them/, and not think that its a honey pot at the same time? i know its near useless to try and assign logic to a decision made emotionally, but the risk vs reward for that kind of thing seems astronomical to me, especially when the links come from bot accounts on the clear net.

if you liked dave the diver you may have a good time with this one as well, not because theyre similar gameplay wise, but more so the vibe and goofiness and just wanting to give the player a good time.

just a little more content being thrown in the torrent pile now. oh well!

Storyteller - a leveled puzzle game where you use images to fill in empty comic strips to tell a reactive and interactive story.
Potion craft - 2d object combo puzzler? you progress by finding new combos and selling them in your shop while growing said ingredients in your (hands off) garden.
Geometric sniper - cheap 2D B/W target finder in a doodle art style.
looking for aliens! - cheap alien themed wheres waldo, reactive world pieces.
mining mechs - a (cheap) STEAL of a modern 'motherlode' title with replayability due to prestiging base stats. can be played well with the right hand on KB(wasd or arrow), or the way i prefer, which is to map your controller RS in steam controller settings to output the same as LS, and just use the controller right handed. (general tip for games that dont have/use RS camera controls, wish i could remember what game does this by default and made me think to start doing this)

tag this off topic if you think it fits, i normally just lurk here but i had to squeek out my displeasure of how the platform is being ran and handled from a consumers perspective.

unfortunately my best option is looking like blowing half a stack on a chair from the manufacturer "automomous" for about double your current budget.
id love to hear what you settle on when you decide!

SuperF4 by Stefan Sundin to truly alt F4 in current decade by ctrl+alt+F4. perfect for software that wont let you normally alt F4 for whatever reason. super lightweight and no/low impact on startup.
Lightshot as others have mentioned is worth another mention. also super lightweight.
wiztree deserves an honorable mention for storage management and visualization.

he may be sweet and old, but hes a ferocious night time predator that hunts his 'babies' (small mice stuffies, hairbands, socks) without prejudice and with explosive energy all the way to sun break.
ive been spending some time in red dead online lately. i pretty much stopped playing a few times <lv40 because of other players, but found out you can run a text file to create private lobbies in under a minute, and ive been enjoying playing my cowboy mmo all alone ever since. theres also some big buffs going on for the month related to the trader role, which ive been stuck on for awhile. so thats helping to hold my attention. also the dailys have been super ez to streak, theyve mostly also been relating to the trader role this month so far.
ill also mention Mad Max since im going for a 100% replay and they built the damn thing like a ubisoft title. so many checkboxes.
