Spiritfarer. Got to a point where I couldn’t figure out how to progress and it’s not super easy to Google how. How do you Google the exact state of a game that you’re in and what you’re supposed to do next?

With products like these you’re paying for convenience

I like the product, but Interesting that they’re selling access to retro games. Seems risky.

Interesting read. Summary seems to be “some publishers over extended themselves during covid and also it’s hard to know what games will be popular.”

Ohh that makes sense, I figured there must have been a reason

How is the Megapicker not just Steam with extra steps?

My first thought was it meant excessive micro transactions

What is MK Ultra-ing?

Bribing the right people who hold back housing building permits because of NIMBYs etc

Manipulating the permit process

Love that this project exists

Maybe I haven’t learned my lesson because I’m super hyped for Light No Fire. All the lessons Hello Games learned in 8 years in a brand new package? Sign me up

How do you even live with yourself?

We want baseball!

It’s odd that they would mention two competitors in a comment about being anti competitive

I have a Garmin venu 3, it’s positioned as the most smart watch / lifestyle focused of the Garmin lineup. I like it for measuring sleep, body battery, steps, playing golf, and reading notifications without pulling out my phone. The gentle reminders to get steps in for the day, weekly active minutes, and sleep quality have genuinely improved my health.

That said it annoys me that they offer no OS or feature upgrades throughout the life of the watch. They do some bug fixes but that’s it.

Interestingly, focus states are used in accessibility. So while this code isn’t to cure cancer, it likely does improve the lives of those with different needs.

What’s astonishing to me is the amount of people who seem to think that because the GDPR exists – they’re entitled (by birthright I guess) to someone else’s labor. It feels like we’re bordering on feudalism the way people act like they’re owed something from developers.
