Glad you freed yourself from all the stuff. I had a similar experience clearing out my grandma’s hoarded house.

I am curious though, why take it to the dump instead of donating it to a thrift store?

It’s sooo terrible. I updated my phone not realizing it was going to be such a big change & it kind of ruined my day.

I’d love to go with a different OS, but nothing has stylus support for writing and note taking :/

100% on everything except including sonic adventure 2 in your list. The chao garden was so great in that one i still go back and play it now and then. And the music to the intro stage is a straight up classic lol

Lol this save also has a rectangle npc hotel. I typically build simple near spawn then build fun stuff around the map as I feel inspired / when I make pylons.

Talk to the guide (starting npc) for tips on what to do next, you can also give him things you find and he’ll tell you what you can craft with them. He’s like the in game wiki and can be very helpful. Also spend lots of time just exploring, and don’t be afrid to die.

When exploring make sure to collect any metals you see, and use them to building upgraded pickaxe and armor. Also build extra houses so you can have lots of npcs move in. I hope you have fun & definetly look things up online if you have questions :)

Lol no shame in a nice rectangle! They’re a classic, so easy and convenient :p

Thanks :) & I’ve never played unepic, it looks cool tho. I’m a fan of platformers, do you think it’s still worth getting a copy?

Super interesting method of entry. It makes a lot of sense as an attack vector. Steam doesn’t have a very rigorous process for checking what they offer on their platform & most customers don’t check their games before running them.

I’m honestly suprised it hasn’t happened more frequently. I wonder if the amount of press this particular incident is getting will cause steam to change their process for publishing games.

For me it’s because his whole shtick the last month has been about ‘eliminating government waste’ then there’s half a billion being set aside for his companies shitty cars? I think it’s the hypocrisy that really makes this particular thing frustrating.

Super interesting review! I love reading about people’s favorite games they have played for decades, especially when they’re niche :)

Pcsx2 – it works pretty well, the only game I’ve had trouble running was monster rancher 2

Makes sense. Thanks for the additional info!

I do love games that are essentially just building simulators. For example, I love playing sims 4 exclusively to build and decorate. I mostly found tiny glade lacking in options and customization. Maybe they’ll expand and refine it though & in a few years I can try the game out again :)

Tiny glade was interesting. I only played the demo, & it was enjoyable for a half hour or so, but I kind of ran through everything & it didn’t seem like there was enough content to justify buying the full game or playing more.

I also felt like there wasn’t enough ability to customize different aspects, like I could place flowers but couldn’t choose how they’re arranged within that space.

Did you play the full release or just the demo?

I’ve been playing a bunch of SSX tricky. It’s super old, but I absolutly love it even 20 years later. I’ve been playing on the PC using a ps2 emulator.

I’ve also been playing simpsons hit and run which really holds up. It’s a simpsons version of grand theft auto & it’s just fun. It’s another emulated ps2 game.

Lastly I’ve been playing survival fountain of youth. It’s a fairly recent release. You play as a shipwrecked Spaniard looking for the fountain of youth. I enjoy the base building & exploration – the story line is fiiine but nothing special.

Libredirect is great, just added it to firefox! I can finally watch all those tiktok links people send me lol

& for anyone else thinking of trying it, if a site won’t load change your default proxy instance :)

Whoa it’s wild that it was commissioned by a company as a way to improve staff morale after a series of mergers and acquisitions. Imagine being worried about your job in an era when job hopping was not common, & you get a smiley face pin from management.

Lmao I guess there are just limits to my photoshop abilities 🤣

Chiming in to say that on my asus laptop, the start up button is f12! Press as soon as the first logo appears on the screen. It might take a few times to get the timing right, if you miss it just restart the computer.

It should take you to a menu that looks like a classic hacker screen (blue screen with pixilated text, no clickable UI). Then go to the boot options and select the USB.

The potential for self hosted AI is there! I’ve seen a few projects in the works, and if youre tech saavy you can spin up your own. It is pretty resource intensive, but could be run on a home server.

I’m pretty excited to have my own personal AI, vut i want one that is trained on data I select and who only phones home to my server lol.
