My previous main instance got a pretty bad case of ded. 🥲
A few more (SFW) I forgot:
https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game
)Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):
Other NSFW sources, all sorted by price so if any freebie pops up, it’s easier to spot:
I have a few more resources noted down, if you’d be interested for the list:
Should I list the NSFW resources too?
As much as GOG/CD Projekt have more than their fair share of problems, usually their versions of games work, can be preserved, don’t require as much bloat, launchers included, and usually don’t require 3rd party validation. And like others said, besides Wine and related, and installing through Steam as external games, you can also install stuff very easily through Heroic and the sort. So I’d say it’s the better option indeed.
If I understand correctly, you’re struggling with isolation? If so, and if you have the time and resources for it, maybe finding a hobby, sports club, etc. in your area could help?
Besides Flatpak, Heroic also has an official AppImage version, if the OP wants to have an even more portable program.

“Dumbfication” of songs is part of the reason I started listening a lot to rock. Quite a few rock bands seem to at least try to make something thoughtful.
But also been finding some musics outside of this niche too. Like, after some 10 years, I found again a music I quite enjoyed back then, Stromae’s “House’Llelujah”. I don’t speak French so figuring the lyrics out is hard, but for this “DJ” type of music, besides the rhythm, it also appears to have a more thought out lyrics.
I prefer psychological horror over jumpscares by a long shot, so my recommendations are a bit slower than what people may recommend, but if it strikes your and your wife’s fancy, here are them:
Dreaming Sarah, Wishing Sarah, Tanglewood, Parasite Eve, Wake Up (by Philosophic Games), UNLOVED, The Corruption Within.

Just remembered Ublock Origin filters also work nice with fediverse sites, although I would prefer to completely purge posts with links I avoid.
But for those curious, here’s an example filter I just cooked:
lemm.ee##a[class="fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover"]:has-text(here_goes_the_domain_as_displayed_under_the_post_title):upward(div[class="post-listing mt-2"])
So as an hypothetical example, if for some reason I have a problem with the sh.itjust.works
instance, I could make this:
lemm.ee##a[class="fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover"]:has-text(sh.itjust.works):upward(div[class="post-listing mt-2"])
And it ends up looking like this:

Filter active on the left, and not active on the right.
Look for games that are sold DRM free. Those can’t be taken from you by devs or the store after backed up. And usually devs and/or stores that deliberately sell such games also make it clear people can keep their games.
From the instances I used, it seems to be a mixed bag. Some even allowed for the user to block domains unrelated to the fediverse.
Was commenting more generally, in case there’s someone against Facebook in instances that don’t block them.
And about lemm.ee, although the guy running it is strongly against defederation, I guess Facebook the company is too much even for him. "<.<
When I noticed meds weren’t being beneficial anymore for me, I stopped taking them and started trying to spot where my focus-related issues were and how I could change them. It hasn’t been a smooth sail and requires a lot of discipline, but so far that helped me more than any medications.
Blocking everyone and every community you see from Facebook’s new parasite social media could be good, me thinks.
Some times it’s part of the plot, like in comics such as Gwenpool and 8-Bit Theater. But usually, from what I notice, how a character perceives the world around is not explained.
Unfamiliar with it, but in the regard of instances going down, specially after my previous main instance died with no signs of returning (again), if you find any interesting posts even on instances seemingly stable, I think it is a good idea to back up those pages. Personally, I would propose methods like Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine and its alternatives like Archive Today, the print to PDF option from browsers, and/or saving a given page as a MHTML bundle.
If, by 100%, it includes 100% of the achievements/trophies, I can only remember Mary Skelter Nightmares¹, Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and Starbound as games I still enjoy after doing 100%.
¹og version; dunno if the updated version bundled with Mary Skelter 2 has trophies (didn’t stop me from finishing it on the Switch, though e.e")
And lastly, some UbO filters I made since I commented so much about them:
