For the last few weeks it was Sons Of The Forest. But now that my wife and I finished the story and are waiting to lose ourselves for months in Baldurs Gate 3, we've been filling the time with Green Hell, another survival game in a similar vein to SotF. So far the constant struggle to stay on top of food, water, and injuries has been kinda frustrating, but hopefully that headache will go away once the systems start to make more sense.

"A bald vibe" is an extremely funny combination of words
I'm not sure if what I played through EA with was Karmic Dice or the weighted option from before, but personally it felt like it actually stacked things against me. I had built for fairly high AC but found that I was still getting hit a ton, and since my AC requires such higher hit rolls, I was getting crit a ton. Once I tried another playthrough with the option turned off, rolls suddenly felt a lot fairer and weren't punishing me for making a tanky character
I watched the first season and about half of the second when they came out, but going off of my half memory of the show I found it to be fine. It was a solid enough romcom with a sci fi flavor, the jokes all landed how they should. I recall that in the second season, the tech support rep joined this terrorist cell that was trying to take down the company running the digital afterlife, but I don't recall where(if anywhere) they took that.
I think going in looking for anything but a cyberpunk backdrop to a mostly unrelated story is a mistake. It would be quite interesting seeing another story explore the concepts set up by Upgrade or Black Mirror's "San Junipero", but I couldn't tell you where to find that.
