I had a “T-Mobile MDA Vario II” (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).

It looked like this, just less German:

That’s the first Android phone, the HTC Dream (or TMobile G1). I loved this phone, even if it was chronically underpowered.

Ah bollocks, another trusted voice silenced. Now it’ll be that slight bit harder to find a review that isn’t just parroting stuff from the press release.

Ah, I didn’t know that - thanks

What connection do Chromebooks have to Android? I thought ChromiumOS was based on Gentoo Linux.

Well good news then, since they were joking (I guess) - it’s a mod to improve Grim Fandango Remastered’s graphics.

I missed the news that K-9 was becoming Thunderbird for Android. I used to use it before switching to FairEmail, I think because development had stalled. It’s a solid choice, hopefully they don’t add too much in like they have with the desktop version.

The fact that it’s Nintendo’s IP seems the key thing here.

So did Nintendo get Valve to do this, or is Valve just covering its back from the notoriously-litigious Nintendo?

Peglin sounds interesting; I still fire up Peggle from time to time, and I always think of it whenever I hear Ode to Joy (which is at least once a year thanks to the best Christmas film Die Hard).

I just replayed Little Inferno after something reminded me about it and I noticed there was a DLC released (in late 2022).

It’s a sandbox puzzle game where you burn stuff in your fireplace and try to find combos. There’s slightly more to it, but really just stuff that’s there to stop you buying + burning everything at once and insta-completing the game.

The DLC adds a new catalogue and more combos; if you’re replaying you don’t need to replay the main game too as it just adds to that (with a few changes).

There’s a whole channel that kinda answers this! Girlfriend Reviews started as a channel where the presenter reviewed what it was like to live with someone that played games - i.e. how good it was to watch someone else play. She’s started playing some of the games herself lately, but the point still stands.

In a recent video Should Your Boyfriend Play Spider-Man 2? she says it’s

the best game to watch someone else play this year

(at which point I paused to go find this post and see if anyone else had posted this channel already).
