for FF14, I use a separate launcher, XIVLauncher, just so I don’t have to type my password in all the time, it saves it for me

Shame, the early WMR headsets were a great non-Meta budget VR option. Loved my HP WMR and Samsung Odyssey+

Neil Cicierega’s Mouth Silence (2014), just because how much is hidden inside it:

Throughout the album, you may have noticed quiet and eerie low bassy wind sounds, most noticeable at the beginning or end of several songs.

It isn’t wind.

Final Fantasy XIV (per usual), Dodgeball Academia (really good, reminds me a lot of Paper Mario without being a clone), Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (very solid remake)

Oh, definitely (and I even have a few of them), but I think Jupiter’s versions are a notch above most of them. They feel a bit more polished, IMO.

I’d kill for PC versions — they’re the only games that ever make me want to pick up my Switch instead of my Steam Deck.

Nope! All that option does is install the official launcher, the Visual C++ 2019 runtime, and some fonts. Anti-cheat is untouched.

The official launcher works through Wine now. In Lutris, it’s the “This is a clean, standard default installation.” option: https://lutris.net/games/genshin-impact/

Important takeaway:

Fortunately for Glukhovsky, he is not actually in Russia, and was sentenced in absentia. His current whereabouts are unknown.

Humble Bundle sells limited-time bundles of DRM-free ebooks and comics pretty cheaply: https://www.humblebundle.com/books

Standard Ebooks offers somewhat nicer formatted versions of some of the Project Gutenberg books: https://standardebooks.org

The two I follow:

• Retro Game Mechanics Explained’s blog which has a bunch of deep dives into game mechanics (shockingly)
• The Dolphin emulator blog, because their progress reports are fascinating

Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream is pretty much the only ice cream I’ll eat, it’s sooooo ridiculously tasty.

I honestly don’t care what’s on reddit anymore — anyone left is likely not someone I’d want to be in a community with anyway, so it’s been easy to forget about it. (Had to go back today though to redelete my comments because they undeleted them, c’est la vie.)

I switched to DDG almost entirely because of the !w bang — Google massively downranking/hiding Wikipedia links made it a lot less useful to me.

List of unusual deaths is a classic, but Enclave and exclave is a really subtly strange topic, and I just love how detailed it is.
