I had to uninstall Adr1ft. Navigating in microgravity is hard enough,
but with the game automatically yanking me towards oxygen
canisters, breaking my bearings, I had no chance. Disorienting and
nauseating. Shame, because I'd have liked to have finished it and that
would be a simple thing to turn off in the options.

I much prefer Budget Cuts, Space Pirate Trainer, Zombie training
simulator. I couldn't get on with the sword in Raw Data, it had the
fell of a Wii waggle game. Give me throwing knives like in Budget Cuts
and I'm happy.
