Off the clock
I love gaming. Not one genre either — the list below runs from Assassin's Creed to truck simulators. Away from a screen I paint, and on one I do digital art. The games I come back to most are the ones that make you think: the Sherlock Holmes run, locked-room puzzles, and the perspective games like Viewfinder where the trick IS the mechanic.

Away from the screen
- Painting
On paper and canvas, away from a screen — which is most of the appeal after a day spent looking at one.
- Digital art
The same instinct with an undo button. Mostly figures and hard-edged graphic work rather than painting imitated digitally.
- Puzzles
The reason the first two segments below are puzzle and detective games. Perspective tricks, locked rooms, a case with enough evidence to actually solve it.

Every game here is one I own and have actually opened — console titles included, which is why some of these are not on Steam at all. No completion percentages: this is a list of what I play, not a scoreboard.
