  • Another recommendation for Linux Mint here. I’ve bounced between Manjaro, Ubuntu, Fedora, and I’ve found Linux Mint to just be fantastic for beginners, in that everything just works, and it does a great job of guiding the user through installation, updating drivers, updating packages (including choosing an appropriate package mirror), and setting up backups.

    It’s just really nice all around; the only thing I could complain about is lack of touchpad gesture support, but that’s probably not an issue for desktop PC usage.








  • Quantum moon spoilers

    One of my favourite discoveries was the multi-layered puzzle that is the Quantum Moon. At first I was super puzzled by why I couldn’t seem to land on it, but after getting the clue to take a picture of it (from Giant’s Deep, I think?), actually being able to land on it was a fantastic feeling.

    From there, I found the tower and immediately tried getting to the eye, but was met by the solid wall, and that stopped my progress. I explored more of the solar system, and I remember always being confused on how to climb the tower in Brittle Hollow. One loop, I thought to myself, “hey, maybe I should wait here until it falls into the black hole.” The piece fell through after quite some time, and I was able to float into the top section, which I believe reveals that you need to venture to the north of the Quantum Moon to explore the sixth location.

    With this knowledge gained, I restarted the loop, went back to the Quantum Moon, utilised the tower to make my way north, and the excitement I felt when I managed to open the door to the sixth location unimpeded was immense.

    Just so many things coming together for that one moment, amazing.





  • Loved the RCT games growing up. I distinctly remember the water park expansion pack not working with my local copy of RCT3, for whatever reason. Being a kid, I never thought to contact support, and so I waited and waited for the platinum edition to release.

    Those roller coaster vids back in the day with the 3D view were nuts! Some people are so creative…
