... Jesus. That sounds really useful and now I kind of regret getting a mouse that doesn't do it

Will do!
The spec on the Trust website seems to say that the buttons can't be programmed at all,
on any OS - https://www.trust.com/en/product/22879-verto-ergonomic-wireless-mouseThough TBH I've never tried to program the functions on any mouse in my entire life, so not sure I'll be missing much.

Yet to arrive and never used a vertical mouse before, so don't know how it'll pan out. Can't be worse than the existing mouse, at least - I got jolted awake this morning with carpal tunnel pain and was reminded why I always use a trackpad instead of a mouse.

Coincidentally I just bought a vertical mouse before seeing any of these posts, and that Anker was one of the ones I was considering! Ended up going with something different because I didn't see these recommendations, though.
One of my workmates was telling me he uses a Penguin: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Posturite-Ambidextrous-Alleviates-Easy-Glide-Compatible/dp/B007GFYMCE/ref=sr_1_1_sspa
His main recommendation of it was:
it looks like a novelty sex toy tbh
... which, you know. As valid a reason as any other.

Ditto. Did get a chuckle out of this tweet about it:

It is shocking to me that eastern bloc style communism didn't flourish here. It's like people wanted the culture of the police state with none of the free stuff.(sauce: https://twitter.com/stephenburanyi/status/1243869774351826944)
Still, at least we don't have that nasty jeremy crobyn, eh? He'd probably have nationalised the bloody railways and organised all sorts of handouts etc etc

imagine being one of these fucking people: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-52052830
other queries included someone asking if it was illegal not to cough in a tissue, a caller urging police to arrest their neighbour before he drove off, and a man who asked: "My wife doesn't think her job is essential but I do and she's working from home. Is there anything I can do?"

Are you suggesting that I should disappoint all the hot singles in my area who long only to meet me and be held in my loving embrace? They're available right now, though!

Can you still buy the new Monkey Island games now that Telltale is shut down?
-
Games that remind me of Limbo:
- Undertale
- Oxenfree
- Braid
- The Cave
- Trine
- Home
- Little Inferno (not really an "adventure" game per se... more of an idle game with adventure elements? hard to explain)
I enjoyed all of those except for Undertale, but Undertale gets really phenomenal reviews and I seem to be the only person in the world who didn't really like it, so you might enjoy... or not, given your experience with top-reviewed games!
Games like Grim Fandango:
- The Journey Down (this is a 5-part series that is fantastic imo)
- Later Alligator (advertised as being "kid-friendly" but I found it very smart and well-thought out)
- Broken Age
- Full Throttle
- 2064: Read-Only Memories
Other games you might enjoy that don't really remind me of either of those two (I've never played Inside so no recs there):
- Machinarium
- Botanicula
- Undertale
HR was patient zero at my work too! They tried to get away with just a "deep clean" of the HR department until the dominoes started falling...
