I'm looking for a game I can play on my Macbook Air where I can run around an open world and blow poo poo up.

Hearthstone's Monster Run and Dungeon Run are similar to Slay the Spire and are completely free.

I'm looking for a MMO/open multiplayer game with either PvP or similar rear end in a top hat possibilities, and a decent goon presence, any recommendations aside from Eve?

My toddler likes to play drivey drivey with an old usb steering wheel and I'm wondering if there are any adaptable basic driving games (or games designed for kids) that might entertain him for five minutes or so. It would need to be easy/on rails enough that there's no crashing or stopping - probably just changing lanes on the road, or managing simple turns. Something like a mario kart but less frenetic?

I'd go with Mario Kart in time trial mode, easy settings, first track. No other karts, no items, no real obstacles to speak of.

Audiosurf might be good. It's not exactly driving, but I think it has some no-fail modes and it's not something where you can get stuck in a corner.

My four-year-old loves Mario Kart 8 with steering assist on in time-trial mode. Even on the hardest tracks that have a bunch of drop-offs she can have fun.

You wouldn't hurt my feelings if you didn't give it a first or second glance, but the freeware Pakoon series was kinda weird and fun. The first was an open-world pizza delivery game, the second is a downhill skiing time trial game with cars. If you have Far Cry 2, you can use the map maker to generate a setting, draw roads and towns and obstacles with your kid, then hand them the keyboard or game controller, hop in and demo the map without closing the editor. There's no AI available, whether you want them or not, plus you can get out of the car (including a rad go-kart) and shoot things or crash into exploding barrels.

Honestly, Driver on the PS1. So much fun to drive around, so satisfying, and the guy complaining when you hit something is hilarious to most little kids.

Thanks all! Gonna try a Mario Kart, Pakoon 2 and Driver and see if any catch his interest. (If he manages Eurotruck at 3 I'll move him up to DCS World)

What's a good space-themed 4X game for a beginner to the genre? I'm definitely willing to learn how to play but hopefully not something super complex. Bonus if it runs on lower-end PCs.

Master of Orion 2 is pretty good for learning, the floor for interacting with its systems competently is pretty low so you can focus on figuring out how to take advantage of whatever your current game's race is good at each game.

I think Galactic Civilizations 2 would be perfect for this, and it's quite old so low-end PCs shouldn't have any problems. Mechanically it's not too complex, plenty of options but they come at you over time. Fun shipbuilder too which is always a highlight of the space 4X arena. It won't last you forever but I think it would be a great entry point. I love Stellaris and it's not really complicated, but if I was just entering the genre then something turnbased would be easier to jump into, because it's very clear "when things happen." Stellaris can be kinda mushy in that regard since it's a (pausable) real-time-ish affair (it advances by in-game day at an adjustable rate).

I’m a card game junkie but I’m tired of buying overpriced cardboard squares that end up gathering dust on my shelf. I want the joy of opening packs without the guilt of burning money better saved or spent on something more important than a momentary buzz. I want a tcg video game that is 1. Either a one-time buy to get everything, like a normal game but that has card-collecting mechanics OR a free game that I can get by in without spending large amounts of money or time 2. On PC, iOS or any Sony system 3. Not completely full of half-naked anime ladies. In fact not even sort of full of those. At all. 4. Quick to play, so I can rattle off a few matches whenever I have a little free time Please give me your best digital TCG recs

You might also take a look at Card City Nights 2. It's a buy-once game; while it nominally has a multiplayer mode most of the fun (for me anyway) is in the singleplayer story mode.

I'm looking for relatively chill games that are largely about (or at least, have a lot of) storytelling as a theme or involve putting together stories. I love 80 Days and Where The Water Tastes Like Wine, and I really liked the first part of Divinity: Original Sin where I was wandering around the town and piecing together quests through conversations with minimal combat. What else should I look at for something that feels like those?

Have you tried the Sorcery games? Same guys as 80 days. I also enjoyed Life is strange as a storytelling game.

How open are you to visual novels, and what kind of tone do you want? Do you want puzzles plus conversations, or do you want the conversations to be the puzzles themselves? Or do you just want to be told a story that you make decisions for?

I'd prefer the conversations to be the puzzles or at least lead to different places depending what you do so it was a bit more than a slightly interactive story. I've not tried many visual novels. I find the anime/manga style of graphics to be a pretty big turn off, aesthetically speaking, if that's the kind you're meaning. Edit: I've never played Planescape: Torment or Torment: Tides of Whateveritis. Would they scratch the sort of itch that the city section in Divinity: OS did?

Torment: Tides of Numenera is basically nothing but a bunch of conversations. There's really minimal combat unless you're asking for trouble. The combat also sucks for the most part. It's a good game, though.

If you enjoyed the first D:OS, then you would probably also enjoy D:OS2. It's a very slow burn RPG with tons of opportunities for expressing your character through dialogue and gameplay. If you don't care too much for the combat then you can set it to Explorer Mode for an easier time. In the opening 10 hours of my last playthrough, for example, I convinced a dog that all life was meaningless, borrowed a pair of teleporting gloves from a smuggler, then teleported him away so I could keep the gloves forever, and forced one of my party members to marry a fire slug. Great game!

Is there anything good for a group of people to play as a 'crew', kinda like Sea of Thieves but preferably with content? I've got Pulsar already, and have been eyeing Guns of Icarus Alliance. Prefer ships, but will accept other things.

Guns of Icarus 1 was great, dunno if there is any community in Alliance or not. Some non-ship suggestions: The Division is built around the idea of having a 4 man team, and is pretty drat fun in spite of its flaws. Payday 2 is a crew pulling incredibly violent heists.
