The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It’s a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.

Another detective game from 2022 I loved that’s similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening…

Both under 8 hours to complete.

Super Mario Odyssey. It’s mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

I love this video. The escalating insanity is wonderful. I once got the Harder Drives music stuck in my head for about 2 days straight.

Q is going to go public with it any day now, just you wait.

First two episodes are absolutely superb. Brilliant hook.

Immediately thought of this image.

“Feared”? By who?

Disastrous space-leader or disastrous-space leader?

I had no idea about that at all - very clever!

The way you’ve shared a link to the settings is really cool - how did you do that? Manually create the links? Or something simpler?

Oh, it’s not even not-a-joke in the way I thought. 🤣 Don’t mind me, I’ll just turn and face the wall for a bit…

Edit: OK, that’s a great gif!

I initially thought this was a gag on how people having their photo taken back the had to sit still for a long time…

But no, just jpg…

The Curse of the Golden Idol is a detective-puzzle game that is easily played one handed, is cheap, and is great.

Invisible Inc is like a stealthy XCOM (which I see on your profile), and again, easily played one handed.

If it’s working correctly, it should be as simple as accessing (internal ip) : (port) at (external ip) : (port).

There are a bunch of things that might be going wrong if it’s not working. Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to help you diagnose the issue!

Happy to help!

Not quite middle class people, but otherwise correct:

From Wikipedia

In 1900, there were fewer than 3,000 cars on the roads of France. To increase the demand for cars and, accordingly, car tyres, car tyre manufacturers and brothers Édouard and André Michelin published a guide for French motorists, the Michelin Guide.

Glad to hear its not universal.

No experience I’ve had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.

Not saying that for-profit companies don’t have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.
