Not frequent, but I do go back

“I can’t complain”

Wait, we are supossed to change hobbies? I just pick up new ones.

First of all:
I hope your health improves. While I tend to not read the entirety of your writeups, I always skim them and then read the details on topics that are interesting. It would be a shame to not find your posts on lemmy anymore, as I prefer the interaction over a microblogging service like mastodon.

as for your question

…have you picked up any games? What have you bought,

I have picked up:

• Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for 3,99€
• Supermoves for 0,77€
• Mirage Feathers for 2,99€
• a bunch of DLC for Vampire Survivors.

Crash Bandicoot is at an all-time-low price, if you haven’t picked it up in a humblebundle years ago, now might be your chance.

Another game I can recommend is “Beyond: Two Souls”, which is available for 1,99€ on Steam. It’s a great story driven game, with multiple endings and great acting. You might also want to get “Detroit: Become Human”, a very similar title in terms of gameplay.

I used calibre with the dedrm plugin to strip all my kindle ebooks from DRM and converted them to epub.

I then jailbroke my kindle and installed koreader on it, ditching amazon completely. I am not buying books from amazon anymore, but I get my books exclusively drm-free as epubs.

Calibre, combined with koreader on my device, allows me to sync my ebooks wirelessly over WiFi at home.

What have you been playing

My usual games: Tetris Effect, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 (openRCT2), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
But also a few other games: Selfloss, Trans Neurotica and GTA V.

Allthough my Steam Deck will be out of service for a few days, I found a “spicy pillow” in my deck, have to wait for a replacement battery to show up :(

One of my hobbies is picking up hobbies.

There was a dog, after all…

Imagine paying for storage and not use all of it.

Emulating switch games on the steam deck works quite well, but sometimes you run into compatibility issues.

That being said, I completely finished both Pokemon Violet and Mario Kart 8 on it.

Anything ubisoft. They told us to get comfortable not owning their games and I am happy to oblige.

It is 26 years old. That is a quarter of a century. Just like a 1975 song was called an “oldie” in 2000, it’s fair to call this an oldie now.

Edit: “What’s my age again” is closer to ABBA’s “Waterloo” than it is to today.

This looks like Voyager but it might be an instance setting.
Edit: it is an experimental setting in voyager.

Have you ever met my friend Kyle’s mom?
She’s the biggest bitch in the whole wide world

Edit: It references the south park movie where Kyle’s mom creates aa moral panic about the children watching a R-rated movie containing swear words.

I most certainly welcome any developer embracing linux support. And to be quite honest, the game looks fairly polished and interesting, it gives me vibes of an indie extraction shooter with its own unique gameplay elements.

unfortunately, I am not particularly interested in PVP online anymore, so I’ll probably skip.

But I wish the developer all the sucess they can get, and I hope they will find a loyal audience.

Someone i know used to repair game boys and DS consoles for Nintendo. He had some “Aging Cartridges” from them, used for long test runs.

At some point, he gave me those cartridges. I know own an NDS aging cartridge as well as 7 GBA ones, and two for the original DMG.

I really liked wreckfest. I am not a big fan of early access, so I will cautiously wait for the game to be released to gauge my excitement.

To distract the enemy

Thanks, this looks like the tool I was looking for. Being able to store the snippets alongside a description sounds perfect
