Norton Crypto is included as part of Norton 360 subscriptions. However, there are coin mining fees as well as transaction costs to transfer Ethereum.

The coin mining fee is currently 15% of the crypto allocated to the miner.

so as part of your subscription to norton, that you pay real dollars for, it takes 15% of the crypto you mine with your power and hardware. so you're paying to pay with a different currency. what a fucking ripoff lol

if you want old games in particular the first deus ex game is great.

looking through my steam library other games that jump out at me are:

  • dishonoured

  • the new wolfenstein trilogy

  • the skyrim mod Enderal (its not really a mod but rather a game built out of skyrims engine and stuff idk how it works)

  • fallout new vegas

  • the geneforge series? it gets better as it goes on. not sure i'd recommend any spiderweb software game unreservedly but the overall narrative to geneforge i quite liked

  • the half life and portal series are good.

  • the new hitman series has a neat story but idk if i'd recommend it solely for its narrative.

  • hollow knight has a great story but its not particularly explicit and you have to piece things together on your own a little.

  • i liked l.a. noire but it probably hasnt aged so well.

  • the mass effect games are kinda cringe in 2022 but still fun.

  • i have completed 32 nancy drew games and the stories are kind of repetitive but the characters and settings are fun.

  • people really liked nier automata but i dont really remember much of it to be honest

  • night in the woods doesnt have the greatest story arc but the character writing and world is really nice.

  • psychonauts might be hard to go back to but the character writing is fun and quirky.

  • pyre is my favourite supergiant game (i havent played hades tho)

  • if you like western RPGs the shadowrun series is really good (although the first in the series, shadowrun returns, is kinda so-so).

  • a short hike is mostly gameplay but again the characters and world are well written

these are all steam games though. there might be stuff on consoles that im not thinking of.

right now im playing murder by numbers, which is a murder mystery mixed with picross, and i'm enjoying that, too. i'm not sure the storyline is like, Good in the traditional sense, but its got intrigue and mystery and a fun gay best friend character so i'm having fun for now

gone home is not the pinnacle of interactive fiction but it's still a pleasant way to spend an afternoon in 2022. that said, i can't think of any games in its approximate genre that are like, unequivocally better than gone home, but i haven't played them all

steve gaynor is a freak though
