Man, the older I get, the more I miss being a kid with a good stick.

My daily driver is Arch running sway. Would be hard to go back from the simplicity and elegance.

One of my favorites as well.

I blame them completely. Voters are not children. You’re responsible for your own actions.

Zuck scrambling to be a bootlicker for the incoming administration.

Yep! I have one that I use for music when I go running. It’s over 10 years old now, and still works fine. Phones are too heavy for that use case.

I did an MBA a few years into my professional career, and I think overall it was a great deal. I was fortunate enough to have it paid for by my employer at the time. That particular program was geared toward working professionals, so the classroom time was just evenings and weekends. It checked the box for me being able to say I have a graduate degree on job applications, so I’d say it was worth it.

PAX West in Seattle

Disappointed to hear this, but it sounds like they made the decision for good reasons at least. Their games are all standouts in an underserved genre.

The ysalamiri! Yes indeed.

This is me. The Heir to the Empire trilogy is one of my favorite book series. I read every bit of the old EU I could get my hands on in the 90s. Quality definitely varies across different books and authors, but I think that era of content is worthwhile if you’re a Star Wars fan.

Having grown up with TNG, hard agree. If we get to a Starfleet-style space navy, then I’m in.

Journey, and more recently Tunic, both had soundtracks that complemented their gameplay really well.

He’s back in the game! Hyped.

The Freespace games are legendary in that genre. Probably second only to TIE Fighter.

Yeah this is just them crying trying to get regulators to allow the Activision merger.

Yeah I think this is more a compatibility filter. If it’s an interest of yours and makes you happy, there is no cutoff.

Oh yeah, this was definitely in my Gameboy library.

The era of personal websites was something else. I remember the weird and wonderful creations you could find on GeoCities.

Good point about crossplay (also cross-save through bnet); it’s platform agnostic from that standpoint. I’ve been on PS5 and found the console experience to be pretty good. The game plays well on a controller.
