I'd recommend Long Dark and Subnautica, they've both got crafting but it's part of the survival/exploration loop and they've both got a bunch of mods (on PC) that are really well done.

corporations being into every piece of the pie: a logical extension of the trend to privatization or "wanting government to be run like a business" is the replacement of nation-states by corporations or zaibatsu-like alliances of multiple corporations
I personally think corporations are going to kill each other off (most likely culminating in a global corpo-war where the last two duke it out) with only one surviving and becoming something akin to the catholic church in the medieval period, plunging the world into a new dark age.
It's the profit imperative biting them in the ass, you can't have exponential growth in a finite system so expect these megacorps to get more and more desperate (and draconian) as the bottom of the barrel draws ever nearer.
Jerboa also matches the font size of everything else in my UI better
This has been my biggest annoyance in all the apps I've tried so far, I'm using thunder at the moment and it's extra large font is juuust big enough, but still way too small to be called extra large.
Quite a few of the others don't even have that though, liftoff was terrible for it with no option to change it and Jerboa is easily the best in this regard but with it scaled up to match my UI it's a too much scrolling and weird formatting.
Can't wait for Boost, it was my reddit go to for years simply because of all it's toggles, I could customize pretty much every part of the UI. Which is probably why it's taking a while to come out, there was quite a bit more to it than pretty much any other of the alternatives.
You, sir, are worse than Hitler.
Give Vivaldi a try, it's a chromium fork but with a strong focus on privacy.
No love for Iain M Banks? The Culture series looks like it will tick all your boxes and instead of following a single protagonist the Culture itself is the protagonist so each book has it's own cast of interesting characters.
I've tried everything to try get rid of google's voice assistant on my phone, stripped it right back and disabled it and then went into the settings in google and my phone but still every time I turn on my wireless headphones it always pops up. It's doing my head in, why can't I stop it!
Don't forget the big labour union wins for UPS and the Teamsters, no war but the class war baby.
Comrade Gang has merely come down with a case of outspokenness which unfortunately lead to a terminal case of lead poisoning.
I agree with you, I'd love to live in the world where Vivaldi chose Gecko instead of Chromium, but we've only got the cards we've been dealt so at least the Vivaldi team are always very vocal about this and have always said they're going to work around Google's more draconian decisions.
See and this is how I know it's all bullshit, what man in his mid to late thirties still has twelve friends? I've never even had twelve friends at the same time before.
