Honestly, this is good advice. It's much better to keep personal computer activity on a personal device, whether that's on a ThinkPad or anything else.

I hope they focus on the fun. With that pedigree of devs, I think they'll get the balance good and have good maps, but that illusive fun factor needs to be there. (Like what the Torchlight devs did after some left the Diablo teams.)

Martha Wells' Murderbot series is funny, fast, and breezy. The first one, All Systems Red, is basically novella length, and a good yarn.

This was my interpretation as well.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Puppy Linux, I had a laptop hard drive fail on me when I was in school and I couldn't afford a new one. I made it through the last semester booting Puppy Linux from a USB drive. It was no-frills, but it worked.

OG PvZ is perfection. I'd love to have more, but it never can hold up.

Cool, I didn't know that existed.

But honestly, I want something like a 4-5" screen, what used to be normal, it would actually be a hand-sized device.

My life is a little better knowing this fact. 😄

ChatGPT is pretty crap branding too, for the record. They just somehow managed to mainstream it. All the LLMs after it try to have cooler names (Bard, Copilot, etc.) but the kludgy first name is still better known.

Easier said than done sometimes. That's the advantage of Ubuntu, Mint, etc. — they minimize the number of weird quirks you run into.

That article was charming! I like that guy, and I like his gaming ethos. Play what you like, there is no "best game," and you can find things to like in a lot of games.

Link worked for me, I just had to scroll down through some substack crap.

I ask myself, is this another one of those end-of-year layoffs, or did it really happen this week?

Bossa Studios has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that it did dismiss a number of staff at the end of 2023

There it is. The tax code and $$$$ are always the answer as to why a company does anything.

So they got larger

. . . to survive crashes with trucks and SUVs. It's an absurdly vicious circle.

That article is intentionally stupid. He says the reasons in the first paragraph ($$$$) and then ignores them. It's the money, stupid.

Good article, and I agree that watching a friend or family member discover a great game is really pleasing.

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Ma che americani!

And she moved to NY just before the election, IIRC.
