Bioshock.

Red Dead Redemption (and RDR2).

Portal.


Whoever said “there’s no such thing as a wrong opinion“ never read anything like this post.


Dirt (series) - because I love rally racing.

Motorstorm (series) - because racing across an active volcano is fun as fuck.

Carmageddon (series) - because it’s insane and hilarious.

Twisted Metal 2 - not really a racing game, but close enough.


It’s weird. Looking at my game catalog, a large percentage of my favorite games are all Annapurna. I will miss them.




My kid is under 10 and absolutely adores all things Minecraft. He will be over the moon to hear this news. So will all his friends.


Consider this: A person has their iPhone battery replaced with a cheap Chinese 3rd party battery. A month later, the battery catches fire, injuring the person. Which headline do you honestly believe will run:

  • Apple iPhone catches fire, injures owner.

  • Unauthorized replacement iPhone battery catches fire, injures owner.





Man, I know sewer technicians who can’t run their company into the ground as fast as Musk with X.


Well I’m not going to buy any more Unity games, and I’m going to uninstall any Unity games I have. Fuck those guys.



The way I see it, there a pattern:

  • Some companies rush some new tech to market and it’s clunky / not user-friendly / a flop.

  • Apple releases their own version of same tech, but it has a refined user-friendly interface that’s popular and successful.

  • The other companies work to revise their products to match Apple’s successful version.

  • Haters all scramble to say “Apple didn’t do it first, blah blah blah…”


I really enjoyed Disco Elysium. It’s one of the best text-driven RPG games out there.


I have an old thinkpad that I’ve turned into a HomeBridge/ Print server / media server / wireless backup base.

It has Ubuntu on it, an external drive shared via SMB for movies, CUPS for print serving, HoneBridge to manage all of my home automation, and another external SMB share to run automated backup from my regular laptops.


Oh wow. I remember playing Neopets back when I was in college, while I worked nights at Kinko’s. It just only just launched, only had a few games and not many pet options yet. I had a “korbat” I think.
I’m amazed that site is still around.
