The Subnautica and Doom (2016) games were pretty fun, although truth be told the Subnautica games made me way more uncomfortable. There's just something about being trapped hundreds of meters underwater, forced to worry about oxygen, drinking water, food, power supply, trying not to get eaten by giant creatures.

definitely a turnoff for me.. years ago when I first discovered Diablo 2 on an old computer at a place I was house-sitting at, I had no internet whatsoever.. nothing

ffmpeg, if you don't mind the command line.. there's only two options you really have to know for editing, -ss and -t , starting time and length, respectively.. also don't forget that first -i for input file name, output file name is always last
eg, ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:40 -t 00:05:00 output.mp4
that would clip out five minutes starting at a minute forty seconds in

fixed, it was late 😉
