Absolutely! Black Earth gets semi-regular rotation around these parts too.
Sylence
Mainly black and old school death metal. Also some ambient and contemporary classical.
I would sub. There are so many videos I know I've forgotten over the years.

They weren't even in the same league though graphically (on PC). Crysis really was that one game which blew everything else out of the water. In many ways it set the precedent for companies to implement ultra quality settings which only worked with the very best GPUs of each generation.
I was hoping for the Swiitch
A few off the top of the dome:
Elizabeth Moon - Deed of Paksenarrion trilogy (military fantasy with light magic)
Louis McMaster Bujold - Paladin of Souls (I would read Curse of Chalion first but it has a male protag and not strictly necessary)
For sci-fi you should try some Becky Chambers. They are adult but dont have much action if that matters to you - very character driven dramas in space.
Good thing there's no inequality, growth imperative, or climate change in Canada - you guys really dodged that bullet! Thank the mounties for capitalism!
Hell yeah DQM! I imagine an alternate universe where that game took off instead of pokemon. So much fun and I still play it (and the sequels) regularly.
We've been using tsp at my work for years and it works well. It is just a very basic queueing system so if you can run the job from the command line then you can run it via tsp.
Our workflow is to have concurrent jobs run on the remote servers with cron and tsp but you should be able to trigger remote jobs over SSH also if you prefer to have a single machine in charge of task allocation.
There has yet to be a game in the intervening 25 years that has scratched the same itch as freelancer for me. Perfect blend of story and sandbox.
