It perfectly describes their contribution to this reality. Thank you.

To me it is the inverse of socializing. It’s an escape to a world where I don’t have to deal with people.

Faraway 1, 2 and 3.

Really chill first person puzzle game.

There was the Homebrew Channel back then, but it seemed to have gone offline. I assumed people just lost interest and moved on.

Based on what you said I did a quick search and found that there’s still an active community around the console, so thank you!

I’m updating my Homebrew Browser to see what’s new.

Any platform that restricts how and what I can run in it has inherently less value to me. This is why I mostrly avoided consoles all my life.

The only console I bought was the original Wii. The games were extremely expensive, and they disabled all the services that made the console useful after a few years (weather channel, news channel, store).

Fortunately I added a few SNES, PCEngine, Genesis/Megadrive and Gamecube emulators otherwise I would now have a very pretty white doorstop.

That may be the reason. I play the GoG version on Linux and it’s great.

I have never encountered the bugs you describe. Maybe you got a bad version?

This is one of the games that I always keep installed. Just chilling, gliding around, trying to climb higher and higher. Love it.

I’m learning Python. Not bad, but I prefer C.

I jumped to Tidal many years ago because Spotify could not be bothered to provide high quality output. Yes, you can ear the difference, even on shitty gear.

For the stuff I could not get on either platform I started buying CDs on Discogs and ripping them to FLAC.

Edit: ear, not eat.

Down.

I’m sorry to disagree. I’ve been using Microsoft crap since the days where you had to free up memory in config.sys to load Novell Netware drivers, and never has Microsoft been the cool kid in town. It was always the fat bastard bully kid that would beat and extort the other kids.

foot-pounds

Oh, you Americans and your silly made-up units.

If you are in a hurry, try Up.

smaller pool of desktop users

There, I fixed it for you.

This is about desktop Linux, so I was wrong to correct you. My bad.

That’s pretty much the only advantage of getting old.

I see what you did there…

Another vote for PiHole. It keeps your home network cleaner by ignoring the ads.

Terminator is my weapon of choice. Supports tabs, multiple terminals per tab, multiple terminal input and a lot of other neat stuff.

I loathe gyms, they are usually full of smelly obnoxious people.

The alternate I found is putting on running shoes, headphones, and go outside.
