Go-On-A-Steam-Train

I loved the cross-platform approach Kenny has taken, it is stuff that will be useful for years, and stuff like this is tricky to find resources for. :)

Saved for when I am at the “user” stage of my game, beyond “yay saves now work” and the lower level code :)

Ooh for me that would be another “I know I should hear this but somehow haven’t!” :) looking forward to tomorrow already to see what’s next! :)

I do now! First album is Illmatic by Nas, and it’s been a good discovery so far :) I have a limited knowledge of hip-hop, so this is really cool to listen to! Thank you for the link to this :)

Oh fantastic! :) Thank you, next playthrough I will get things going on Linux in that case, as that’s new to me! :) Like a fool I tried nexus mods vortex in Wine initially because I didn’t know better!

I can second this! For me it meant that I could finish my game of modded fallout new vegas, and connect to my work’s microsoft vpn nonsense (IT support didn’t fancy trying it on Mint but that’s another story!)

I now have a personal OS that I like, and a windows partition for those few things that I can’t be bothered to troubleshoot.

So far the list is just those things and the Unity Engine as Visual Studio debugs better than code in my experience. :)

Having the option to flick back is great :) In the XP days, I loved the WUBI(?) tool that let you install ubuntu dual boot as an exe, but I think that’s not a thing these days., :)

:(

Heck yes! Earthbound! One of those games I felt was made perfectly to my taste :) funny, quirky, slightly uncomfortable… All great. :)

Damn I remember that album coming out… Last week?

damn time flies, please make it stop!

Can’t you even skip one of those goals? What a great game 😁 It really does let you work it out, but not in an annoying puzzley way

To top up the happy tank, I love playing

• Katamari games
• OpenRA (Red Alert)
• Wrestling games (Smackdown on PS1/2)
• OpenRCT (Rollercoaster Tycoon)
• Baldurs Gate 3
• Mass Effect
• Frog Detective 1, 2, 3
• Game Dev Tycoon

I went and played Fallout 1 because I loved 3 so much… It took a few false starts (1 intelligence was a terrible call for a first playthrough lol, it ended bad)

Now I see it, 1 and 2 were so brilliant with the role playing and story that I can’t go back to 3! 😊 So many choices, strong characters, just brilliant.

That’s awful news :( fantastic unique musician

Thank you friendly robot :) I couldn’t stop assuming PoE meant Pillars of Eternity! 😅

I found it mildly funny reading this, I’ve not been using vanilla windows 10 for quite a while, but have resorted to sticking plasters to get the same effects as mint (start10, fences, and powertoys). It’s very true, out the box all that’s baked into mint, and with the privacy etc.

I heartily miss Mint/Xubuntu, but am cursed with my interests being in game development and audio. :) one of these years…

Yay! The Hives :) I am so glad they had another album after so long - and that I don’t think they’ve lost a step! :) such a great band

Thank you :) just added this to my robots.txt :)

Thanks for sharing this! :)

I got a kick out of seeing helm on your list, as I was using the developer’s Unity engine integration for a game when I started coding :) Fantastic synth.

I could also recommend hydrogen as a drum machine - it plays nicely with lmms, which is cool! :) There’s also tuxguitar which I use as a guitar sketchpad when I just want to jot down a thing I’m playing, or learn a complicated song. :)

Kind of like the multireddit feature- that used to be a big part of how I used boost to check in with any particular interest without wading in :) I would love this!

That looks fricking excellent! I would love to be able to do hardware projects, and deeply miss having a real keyboard :)

Trackballs! You speak my language :) Thank you for such an in depth, sourced write-up, that’s incredibly helpful, I’ll definitely check it out :)
