Long-term games-to-finish list (as of 2021-03-10):
* Adventure of a Lifetime, a visual novel [curator request]
* Celestian Tales: Old North, a JRPG
* Dragonsphere, a point-and-click adventure

* Operation Abyss, a dungeon-crawler
* Recettear, a business sim and action JRPG
* Pokémon Crystal, a mon-collecting JRPG
* this one Combo SM/Z3 Randomizer that I have on hand

(NLX = "non-linear exploration"; basically my term for a metroidvania)

FYI, I'm not on Steam as much as I used to be, because Steam pushed a major update in October 2019 that made it much less convenient to use. This post details what happened. (Also, a side-effect of -no-browser is that the Friends list isn't automatically signed into.)

These days I try to buy games DRM-free where possible. Places where I get DRM-free games:
* GamersGate: it indicates DRM scheme or "DRM-free" on store pages. While the downloader requires communicating with the server to fetch the installer, the installer is DRM-free.
* GOG: all games are DRM-free. (Though a few may have multiplayer modes that require authentication on a server.)
* Humble Store: games with a "DRM free" icon are available as direct downloads. (Steam keys are commonly available alongside them.)
* itch.io: it should say that you get access to installer files. (Steam keys are commonly available alongside them.) This platform specializes in indie games.
* JAST USA: all games are DRM-free. This store only sells visual novels.
* Steam: some games are DRM-free, but there is no consistent official indicator for this, so it's usually better to shop elsewhere.
* Some developers/publishers have their own web stores which are DRM-free.

Other stores that may be DRM-free but that I haven't yet shopped at:
* BOOTH.pm: I have barely heard of this, but it seems at least some games are DRM-free. This site seems focused on doujin games, including Comiket games.
* DLsite: reportedly, it depends on the game. Has lots of doujin games.
* GameJolt: at least some games are DRM-free?
* FireFlower: all games are DRM-free.
* MangaGamer: all games are DRM-free. This store mostly only sells visual novels.
* Nuuvem: a few games are DRM-free.
* Zoom-platform: all games are DRM-free, from what I've heard?
