Killing Vivec and then getting the message about being doomed was probably my favorite “oh shit” moment of all time.

Professor oak got all the kids in town to leave so he could be the sole stud next to the two baddies who suddenly have no responsibilities living next door, change my mind

Slay the spire, FTL, and Into the Breach probably have the most hours from me because the controls are entirely cursor driven and can be paused indefinitely.

Balatro is quickly taking the space that the built-in Windows solitaire game used to.

Those are the ones that I open when my brain can’t brain.

At least one idle game. I just finished antimatter dimensions after a year or so. Starting on NGU idle next.

And one “100% attention” game like outer wilds or hollow knight.

How do I remember what the command even is? Like how would I discover the grep tool without using the Internet?

Online

Ok but what if my Wi-Fi isn’t working

Their official phone app was, and still is, garbage. So I used a 3rd party app.

When Reddit killed API access, they did it in such a way that it killed that entire ecosystem abruptly. I’d have happily paid a small fee for API access to continue using the site, but no such option existed. Even at this point I’d still do it but that option still isn’t there in a way that’s useful.

After that, I found out that the 3rd party app i liked the most, Sync (on Android), had a Lemmy version. So I downloaded it to try it out. And here I am.

Seasons in Texas:

June 5-October 25th: fuck you it’s 100+° F / 38° C. Most non-native plants die if they receive direct sunlight all day. It’s 85°F / 30°C at night.

October 26th - December 10th: fuck you it’s 90° F / 32° C but also 40°F / 5°C in the morning; you’d better have 2 sets of clothes for the day

Dec 11th - Feb 28th: actually decent weather

March 1st - May 1: it’s getting hotter but also raining a lot so it’s muggy but the weather is still tolerable sometimes

May 2 - June 4: Hot and humid, sensory nightmare, air outside feels like your lungs have been filled with a damp blanket. 95+% humidity at all times.

I usually gift Wallpaper engine. Not a game but it’s a fantastic tool for personalization.
