If I’m playing Sega, I’m not wasting my time on Rambo iii, but if I’m running through some dos games of absolutely give it a shot.

Portrait of Ruin is a direct sequel to Bloodlines/New Generation as well.

Order of Ecclesia is the only ds game that doesn’t rely on touch screen gimmicks too, and it’s so much better for it. Portraits of Ruin is still playable at least without touchscreen, but some of the bonus modes, like playing as the sisters require it. Dawn of Sorrow sadly was absolutely gimped by touchscreen crap, but a romhack is available to remove it.

Unfortunate turn of art style in the DS era too. They lean heavily into a crisp anime style compared to the earlier look of Symphony and the gba titles which were anime inspired but had a very fitting gothic painting style.

New car it used car?

My kids and my partner, they’re amazing and they all think the world of me.

“This town needs an enema”

Terraria is there for a few bucks and might be my most played game of all time.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2, 3, 5. These have have given me so much good time since I was a kid gamer.

Some of that good 2010s stuff is on heavy discount. Tomb Raider, Arkham City, Mad Max, Deus Ex HR, Alan Wake.

A bunch of classics are a couple dollars each. like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Blood, Fallout, Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis, Crusader No Regret, Anachronox, Jedi Knight DF2 (comes with mysteries of the sith), Classic X com series.

My grandma is German so I still drop words like this in otherwise normal English conversation. It’s just how me and my cousins called these things growing up.

Lappen- referring to a face washer/cloth

Barfuss- referring to barefoot

The last time I was asked that question was in 2012. Every interview since has been all about how I go about doing the job and case scenarios.

15 years.

Dated. Broke up. Dated again a few years later. Moved in together. Bought a house and had kids.

With Radical Dreamers so you don’t need to patch a snes rom for that either.

Sex workers deserve to get paid. But there are plenty of people offering free porn out there, and those sites aren’t hard to find.

It’s gone from pressing eyes real hard to just touching the eye.

I always find the sentiment of “no updates, no downloads” to be not quite right in the context.

The chameleon likely would’ve been more at home with Indie/retro-inspired games. The games that have mastered the concept of ongoing updates without punishing the consumer.

Terraria and Stardew Valley in a state of constant evolution, still getting better 10 years, 15 years after their release.

Dead Cells, Dredge, Vampire Survivors, Binding of Isaac, Grim Dawn, No Man’s Sky, Brotato, any number of other indie games that have lived on for years due either massive or incremental updates.

The solution works for the AAA games problem. “The game should be playable and feature complete at launch”. For these games, the DLC is often just cash grabs, looking for reasons to milk customers. The “gold release” state not being updated later requires the multi billion dollar studios to finish, polish and deliver.

But these are not the kind of games the chameleon would have been able to play, its wheelhouse would have been the indie games that started out as fun games and became something a hundred times more over time.

Everyone is already saying it, the best is the one you know.

Basically, all distros can do whatever you want. The one you are most comfortable with and find easiest to use is what you will be able to make do those things.

But if you’re a bit of a newbie and not comfortable doing much with your current distro anyway, then there are some safe bets I’d often recommend:

Opensuse tumbleweed is very up to date, has btrfs + snapper by default in case you break it badly. Updates are also less likely than arch, for example, to cause a break. Also has a lot of pre installed software that can be more difficult to make go away due to how their “patterns” work. At some point it’ll reinstall everything you remove unless you blacklist that software.

Aeon is an immutable version of tumbleweed but without all the pre installed stuff. The auto updates work spot-on (you’ll just see a message say your system is up to date) and auto rollback on next boot if an update does break things. Great if you want to rely on flatpaks and distrobox. The KDE software suite is all good on flathub too. (Aeon is gnome only though!)

But what was the point of making a hole in your slipper anyway?

I got a book about 15 years ago called Guerilla Furniture Design. All about turning things like cardboard and scrap metal into DIY furniture.

I’ve never actually done it, but looks like you can make pretty sturdy chairs out of double corrugated cardboard packaging boxes.

Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.

I didn’t know it was still going.

Edit: there it is! https://thehardtimes.net/about/

I got a humble bundle full of Star Wars books/magazines the other week. I haven’t bought a humble bundle in a few years so I didn’t realise I was actually buying Kobo estore licenses for them.

I’ve now spent a week trying to strip the Adobe drm using calibre, with no luck. I either get an error message from calibre or the output still has drm on it.

Season 5 of Supernatural was the logical endpoint

BD-live was a thing going way back then. BD players had network connectivity because stuff like that was a selling point.

But it seems like you’re adjusting the question to be more “do BD players REQUIRE internet connections”. No probably not.

And off track, for some people the primary function of the PS3 might have been to play movies. BD players were several thousand dollars, a ps3 was like $700-800. There was definitely chatter along the lines of it being a Sony product would be best in class for BD playback as well.

When I first started dating my partner I asked why she had a PS2 with no games. She said it was her mum’s that she just uses for dvd.
