To tune auto-fill-mode (and manual fill invocation with M-q etc) you can set the fill-column variable. You can set it globally, per-mode (using mode hooks) or even per-buffer (manually or using file-local variables).

When thinking about line breaks in Emacs it’s important to consider if you want visual line breaks that only affect display or actual line breaks that also appear in the file as newline characters.

Picked up Yoku’s Island Express during the sale. A unique 2D platformer/exploration game that seamlessly incorporates pinball mechanics. The world feels big with a lot of variety. The pinball stuff is fun and works better than I though it would. Great production. Very happy with the value so far.

Another new one to me is Downwell. This is a neat little game and it’s good at what it does but can’t help feeling that it could have been a lot more if it had more items that combined in fun ways. It was very inexpensive so I am happy with this one too and will keep it in the rotation, especially for short play sessions.

And of course more Isaac, my most played on the deck by far.

Great list! I will add Wildfrost and LONESTAR on the roguelite, “there’s gotta be a way to survive this turn, if only I could figure it out” side. Wildfrost is at the historical low, LONESTAR is not quite but close.

I was skeptical at first (uh, another one of these?) but the small algorithm illustrations charmed me enough to look at the repo and I think I like it. Well organized repo, straightforward code and a good example_test.go, something package authors often neglect. If nothing else it can be a useful source of ideas if you decide to roll your own version of one of these operations.

Started playing Wildfrost, a deckbuilder with some unique mechanics. I slept on it for a long time because it had somewhat mixed reviews early on with some players complaining that it was too luck based or that it was too difficult to evaluate game state. To me this hasn’t been a problem and the game was a very pleasant surprise. Thankfully it doesn’t try to be a “better Slay the Spire” since nobody seems to get that right but goes on its own way. There is no mana system, instead you pay for cards with time: playing a card (usually) takes up your turn. Some of your cards will stay on the board and periodically trigger based on cooldowns and other triggers - and so do enemies. It’s all about timing, sequencing and positioning.

These mechanics make the game flow very smoothly and the turn puzzle is satisfying. The implementation and art are great too making it a very pleasant overall experience.

I personally welcome this decision. I am fairly happy with the current syntax and I enjoy the explicit “does what it says” nature of Go code. None of the proposed alternatives would have made error handling more robust, they were pure syntactic sugar with no nutritional value.

Saying no to multiple proposals when you feel that the status quo is better can be difficult to do and I am happy that the Go team is able to make these kinds of decisions.

Finally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.

I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won’t have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.

I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn’t end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.

Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.

A nice aspect of survivor games on the deck is that you can play them single handed (for the most part). I like to clone the left stick onto the right one so I can play with either hand.

Brotato is my current pick for this.

I haven’t played the game yet but I am very curious what about it might have this effect. Is it story related or some gameplay element?

I don’t mind spoilers but maybe mark it up as such if needed in case others do.

That’s EXWM which has been around for a while, I’ve been using it since 2016.

On PC and Steamdeck Binding of Isaac and Brotato mostly, my most played comfort games. Looking to get started with Lonestar soon.

On mobile I got back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I’ve been paying classic roguelikes for a very long time. Never gotten very good at them but I still enjoy every run and inevitable death.

Another vote for HotS, it’s the only MOBA that has ever truly clicked for me (and I am not even particularly into the rest of the Blizzard stuff).

I’d say it’s definitely worth a look despite the “maintenance mode”. There is an active player base, the game is well balanced and it still receives occasional tweaks. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is if you are enjoying yourself or not.

I wouldn’t want to restrict myself to a specific platform or timeframe but I could give up some major genres. For example I’d be ok with letting go of all FPS and most 3D focused games (presentation, not rendering tech).

Like other commenters I take advantage of them but only if I can do so on my terms: on Linux or the Steam Deck using Heroic or a similar solution. There is absolutely no way I’d use Windows or the Epic launcher for this.

And since these methods are not officially supported and could break in the future I can’t spend money at the Epic store. I only leech on the free stuff while it’s practical to do so.

No WASD, no strafe, not fair.

I got it by running around the imps and going for the grunts (all enemies are “monsters” in Doom)

Do you know if the controls still require tweaks or does it work out of the box these days?

Same here. I finished last year by beating Mega Satan for the first time and starting the new year with some more Isaac.
