Wow. Friday is here and my list of things to do is getting smaller. Just the one thing scheduled in the calendar meeting wise, but when I got in this morning there has been a massive failure at one location that I have to deal with as top priority.
Put everything in place and all of a sudden I'm hit with the sleepies as a result of our coffee beans running out and there not being enough for my normal IV drip of coffee that would last me the day.
On Sunday I've made a plan to do a bunch of snacky cooking while my wife takes the son to the park for a few ours. By the time they're back I'm hoping to have a smorgasboard of delights for us to kill off the evening with a movie. Maybe OG Space Jam? Other suggestions appropriate for a 3-4 year old are welcome.
I’ve a two year old who isn’t really up to whole films yet, but she really vibed with the 2015 Peanuts movie. It’s a series of vignettes as much as a whole story, so her attention span wasn’t too tested and she could do some colouring or whatever and not miss out.
Death’s Door 19.5€ → 7.8€ It’s a very cozy game but still fun mechanics and adventurous. Kinda similar to Hyperpixel in feels. Spent 3 days while sick playing from the sofa, enjoyed every bit.
A Hat in Time: 50% off at £12. A really cute 3D platformer.
Wobbledogs: 40% off at £10. Looks and plays like a pet simulator but is almost more about genetics and seeing what kind of bizarre "dogs" you can create.
Let's Build a Zoo: 45% £9. I've seen this described as similar to a Bullfrog game (think Theme Hospital) and that's good way to put it. It's a zoo simulator, but full of silly humour and things you can do, like butcher your animals for meat. A big feature of the game is breeding, including crossbreeding animals to create hybrids like a snake/pig monster.
Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper: 80% at £2. It's an old game and the dating shows, and nor is it a brilliant masterpiece of writing (it's Sherlock investigating Jack the Ripper after all) but it does scratch the detective game itch. It's fun to explore London as it was in Sherlock's day, and it does provide its own theory as to who Jack the Ripper was, as well as laying out the events in a way that are much easier to follow than reading a book. I'd recommend it for true crime and mystery fans and I look forward to the other games in the series.
Typical Friday:
2 Pints of Stella
Packet of Scamp Fries
2 Pints of Stella
Bucket of jellied eels
2 Pints of Stella
Fight barman and anybody else that wants some!
Finish off with 2 Pints of Stella
Then I have to head to work for my evening shift as a Reddit Mod
Fahrenheit 451 but I wanted to put it down because of the bad translation. I switched to reading it in English and everything went smoothly after that.
The Bible was a difficult read for me. I pushed through just because I wanted to have at least read it when using it’s words to contradict Supply-Side Christians.
A Short History of Chinese Philosophy by Fung Yu-Lan. I spent pretty much all of my time off work reading it. I found it insanely interesting since I knew almost nothing about Chinese philosophy, and the book is written specifically for people like that. The way their schools of thought developed through the ages and were influenced by each other constantly as one became dominant was very fascinating.
Ok, not so much as hidden, but also not super known: Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. A tactical stealth game (think commandos saga back in the day) is 90% Technobabylon. A pixelated point & click adventure with some cyberpunk themes at 70% Return of the Obra Dinn. Probably the best detective/deduction game that I’ve played, at 40% Prey. One of the best immersive sims, at 75% The Case of the Golden Idol. Is not as good as Obra Dinn in my opinion, but it’s super good none the less, at 30% Antichamber. Super good puzzle game, at 75% The Age of Decadence. Ultra hardcore RPG set in ancient Rome, 60% Tametsi. Is like minesweeper but good, 67% (and only 0.77€)
Absolute gem of a game, shame Bethesda forced them to use the Prey branding; a lot of fans of the original wrote it off because it has nothing to do with the original. One can't help but wonder if we would've had such a disaster as Redfall if Colantonio hadn't left as a result of all that.
Underrated even among Prey fans is Mooncrash, easily the best roguelite experience from a AAA studio, and just a great experience all around for anyone who wants 'more Prey'.
I think just clearly stating that this article or creation was derived from AI would be a good start. #AI. It would allow the user/reader to make a better decision on the value of the information being presented.
I think that would be a good step to provide a good middle ground yes. Allow it to exist and develop its own identity instead of it being meld together and replacing things outright.
So there can be an A.I. genre and provide transparency to help keep it from going too far
Just try to implement user session management on a non systemd distro…
Systemd is way better than others init system. I’m using Alpine Linux on my phone and I really wait for a Fedora/Arch like PMOS project (it’s on the way)
