Gigabased my man. World in Conflict is the shit, the campaign is incredible and so was the multiplayer back when it was new, although I don't think anyone still plays it today.

The Pratchett movies are also amazing. Okay, Colour of Magic didn't really do it for me, but The Hogfather is excellent and Going Postal is pure kino.

Also regarding Deserts of Kharak - the original Homeworld got a remake recently, didn't it? I only played the original, but assuming the remake didn't go woke, I'd definitely recommend it, the campaign is amazing. "There's nothing left for us here. Let's go." makes me tear up even today.

Oh and speaking of space games, I'd also wholeheartedly recommend the Freespace series - they're space sims with an amazing storyline, and there are a ton of fan-made campaigns as well, some of which are pretty great. The devs open sourced the engine a while back, so you can also get some mods that make the game look amazing even today. SEND FIGHTERS!

And now that I remembered Freespace: the same studio went on to make the Saints Row games. The series is like a parody of GTA and I'd say SR3 and SR4 have held up exceptionally well even today. 4 is kinda weird due to the literal superpowers you get from the start, but it's still really fun, even though it's fairly short and not very challenging - but you can get these games for like 5 bucks during Steam sales nowadays, and it's so worth it. Beat people with a dildo bat, or kill them with Dubstep, or play as literal Uncle Sam and 'MERICA!

Oh and regarding books: Right now I'm reading Unsong by Scott Alexander; I think he originally published it on his blog chapter by chapter, but there's an ebook around that compiles it all. It's incredibly original and very well written. It's basically "what if everything in the Bible was literally real and how would it work in 20th century society". That might put off some people but I promise you it's not religious propaganda at all, and it has some really funny moments.
