There are a lot of "I like this in theory but nobody else I know uses it" social things like Matrix 😑

The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. The final book in what has become one of my favorite fantasy series.

Yep. Its such a great series with such a cool, fleshed out world, its hard to find another scifi series that hits the same way.

It does everything through clever game design, nothing takes you out of the game. No cut scenes or text popping up or freezing everything while dialogue is going on. You're just in that world.

Its just like with idealizing music eras. People remember the stand outs and forget the bad and mediocre stuff so it seems like everything was better in whatever time.

Duckduckgo has an email redirect thing where you can make temporary addresses that forward to your normal one.

SNES does have a lot of the better games in lots of great series. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Final Fantasy etc etc etc.

Though the cheat answer is probably PC since its been around for decades can just evolve with whatever is going on.

I do it the old school way and just use stopwatches. Especially with running, it's easy to just go by time and record it manually.

Some of them are free.

I tried it briefly and it was like if someone made a social media service that was only the annoying aspects of social media.

Its basically a perfect game. It never feels dated and has one of the most horribly catchy songs ever created by man. Its weird that it's so fun, its like as simple as you can really boil down a game, its literally just arranging blocks into lines. But it just clicks with the human brain on some deep level.

I use Iris, its very simple.

Joplin for notes, and Rclone drastically improves any cloud services.

That game ruled, I remember one of the tracks had a huge hidden stunt room you could find.

I've been saying this forever too! Boomers were the ones complaining about thier kids playing them back in the day because of the violence and demonic imagery.

In the 90s people called them "Doom-like"s. I usually just say "90s FPS games". Which I guess could be confusing and make people think I'm talking about framerate, but eh.

1 and 2 are some of my favorite games ever. They're sort of like Pac-Man or Tetris, they just nailed such a basic, fun gameplay experience that you can always go back to it and get sucked in.

Also props for GZDoom and Brutal Doom updating them for modern hardware.

I'm like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.

I'm on the 3rd Liveship Traders book by her right now. So 6 books deep into Elderlings with no plans on stopping. Robin Hobb is a complete genius at character writing.

The third book is excellent as well. Easilly one of my favorite scifi series.

Old school FPS games. Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc. They're just simple, cathartic stress relief.
