Dang. This is almost my list as well, and the ones that are different I can totally see why they could be on someone else’s list. I like your taste in games.

• Outer Wilds
• The Return of the Obra Dinn
• I’ll bunch the Mass Effect trilogy together here
• Super Metroid
• The Last of Us
• Bioshock: Infinite
• Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Oxygen not Included
• Fallout: NV
• Diablo 2

I know it pales in comparison to most others here, but that Star Wars theory about Jar Jar Binks being the ultimate Sith mastermind instantly popped into my head.

Whatever’s the current “big” issue in showbiz. I really couldn’t care less that ABC was photographed with DEF in GHI, possibly hinting a relationship collapse with JKL, or whatever it was that people are harping about with other people’s lives.

The first time I tried a sausage sizzle from Bunnings, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe it’s because all my mates have been recommending giving it a try and hyping it up and whatnot, and I was really looking forward to it when I finally got around to it, but I didn’t really find it all that after the fact.

I mean, it’s not bad. It’s a couple of bucks, it’s a great sausage on white bread, I’d get it again no worries. I kinda just expected more I guess.

Panic at the Cisco is up there for me.

I’ve been having difficulty joining private trackers as well, but mostly I’ve just been trying to apply to a few that I think I’d like to join. Don’t quite understand why I don’t get an invite though. I maintain a perma up seedbox, and wouldve thought that was mostly what’s important for private trackers.

As someone who’s having a bit of difficulty finding great incremental games, would you mind giving aome recommendations?

I moved to Proton from Gmail + friends, and I don’t regret it one bit. I’ve tried degoogling, and while that hasn’t always been successful, email and calendar have been two of the absolute simplest things to leave behind in Google.

One (quite unknown) perk you get with certain Proton plans is you also get access to SimpleLogin, which is an email proxy service. It’s great if you set it up on one of your domains, so you can create not just unique passwords but also unique email addresses for accounts you create online.

I’ve set up my Spotify to tell Last.fm what songs I listen to (aka scrobble). Over time, Last.fm gets a pretty good idea of what songs you like, so when I wanna discover new songs, I go to Last.fm, ask it to play me a mix, and direct it to play the songs through my Spotify. I find that its recommendations are much better than what I get from using Spotify alone.

The public library I go to has tons of communal spaces, as well as a makerspace. I love it!

It’s an ESC key for me personally. Some of my friends with the fancy schmancy keyboards have it so that holding that button down gives their keyboard an additional layer. Like, holding that down will make J/K/L/I work as arrow keys, something like that.

I really wish I could believe that, but:

1. By that same argument, I should expect Blizz games on the Xbox platform (or at least game pass). But ActiBlizz has said that while they plan to do that, not to expect it until at least 2024 when the acquisition closes (if it does). Which also raises the fact that …

2. MSFT hasn’t acquired Blizz yet, so the push to the Steam platform is likely not driven by that narrative yet.

That sounds like something I’d very much enjoy! Thanks for the recommendation!

Indeed.

Yeah, that’s what I’d expect as well. I’d have much preferred to have bought the game on Steam myself.
