To further muddy the water we had Baldur’s Gate 3, which was made by an independent studio with AAA budget.

Funnily enough with WSL that is true.

I recently recommended the game to my wife and since then she tells me every day what her progress is and what she hates about the game and how tedious it is and how bad and inconsistent the controls are. And then she’s off to play more.

Clair Obscur:

I’d use it for data storage. Movies, games, backups.

It’s also a slur for disabled people.

When I played Day of the Tentacle I got stuck. Eventually I caved in and ordered the official hint book. Mind you, back then this entailed mailing a physical letter and the money somewhere. I guess my parents helped with that. And then you had to wait for your order to arrive. And the post was a lot slower than today.

I waited weeks for the book to arrive. And then, the day before it came, I finished the game. Use physics book with horse was the last puzzle I needed.

But the money wasn’t wasted entirely. The game’s story was written down from the pov of one of the characters. Pretty funny.

Unreal. I stopped playing when I couldn’t find the exit.

Edit: But to be honest that was kind of the norm back then. I hated Half Life for popularising the more linear level design.

Oh yes, definitely avoid the last one, Double Exposure.

But Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, by the same dev as the first Life is Strange is supposed to be decent. But I want to wait until all episodes are available before I play that.

Oh, also the Life is Strange games are great.

My daughter loves A Short Hike and Wobbly Life.

And on her phone Toca Boca World. Though it has a tendency to crash every few months, taking her progress with it.

She also likes Spider-Man but I guess that’s not very “girly”.

I mean, that depends on the watch and could be exactly how it works.

My wife says: Yes!

His followers are mostly rightwing and gobble up any comment he makes in that direction. I think he himself is a psychopath. And I mean that in the most generous way one could use that description. He doesn’t care about anything. Not himself and certainly not about other people. What little empathy he does have is learned.

Like when he called for the death of Palestinians I genuinely believe that he didn’t know why that’s bad. He learned that by backlash.

He does advocate for general basic income. So that would put him in the leftist corner. But he is quick to generate hate towards groups of people. That can mostly be seen in his comment section.

And the added work with keeping them updated.

For me it is the “Windowsy” feeling of downloading an executable from some website. I prefer having all my packages managed in one place.

A magnetised needle and a steady hand is a better package format.

Don’t have the energy to play myself. But started watching a Let’s Play today and I really love the premise.

Try growing up with fdisk.exe!

Especially annoying since you’re allowed to freely distribute the original.
