I'll give a mention to FUEL, an open-world offroad racing game with a map that was over 5,000 square miles. The racing itself was fairly medium, but the absolutely massive open-world is something that I can see in Forza Horizon and some others

I played so much Wesnoth when I was young and broke

  • Software side projects, including a serious crack at a game I've been noodling with in my head

  • Hardware side projects, starting with smart home stuff

  • The physical house-construction part of smart home stuff, and some other diy projects too

  • Mini painting and board gaming, especially trying to pull together some overlapping friend groups

  • And yeah, some time no-lifing a game or two

If you want to dig deep into picross, check out Griddlers

Because Jennifer Hale delivered a better performance than Mark Meer as Commander Shepard

The thing is - how will your blockchain-based mortgage be enforced? What happens if I start squatting on your blockchain-property? At the end of the day, the answer is "people with guns" - we agree that contracts have legal weight, and there are legal structures (and ultimately law enforcement and their threat of force) that keep you on your land and me out of it. And if we already have to involve all that, what good is blockchain doing that "a database" can't do?

Satisfactory hits my perfect balance of planning/optimization and 3D building and aesthetics. And it's still getting better!

Yeah it's definitely an HN clone, and that's much-needed because the orange site is a hellhole. I like their invite-tree system, and need to finish tracking down an invite.

When Brandon Sanderson has talked about possible screen adaptations of his books, he's started to hear people talking about an Arcane-style animated adaptation as an option they'd like. He's mentioned that the unfortunate reality of it is that Arcane's budget ($10 million an episode) does not match its audience - the large majority of Arcane viewers are existing League fans, and it doesn't get the new/outside-viewer audience that a lot of producers would want to see.

Legacy of the Dragonborn felt so laser-targeted to me when I found it. I would already fill the house display racks with named weapons - now I get to keep everything

If you play The Witness, this will permanently happen to your brain - you'll start seeing ::: spoiler spoiler environmental puzzles ::: everywhere

Unfortunately, racism.

It's a term from the car-modding scene. "Rice burner" was a pejorative term for badly-customized imported Japanese cars with more flashy looks than performance upgrades. It then came to just mean "heavily visually modified", and installing such mods was called "ricing"

That moveset looks buck-wild. Guess I'll go play another few hundred hours of NecroDancer...

it doesn't work on Android Auto

This may be dependent on your car/Android version? I've started using OsmAnd with Android Auto on my 2019 Subaru Outback and it works quite well.

Something I've always found funny is the fact that there's a big chunk of people who have only ever encountered a scramble-pad for typing their bank PIN in Runescape
