Is there any other browser that does a right-side vertical tab bar with compact tabs?
There’s an extension for Firefox to do it, but it’s a bit clunkier than Vivaldi’s - definitely something I’d only switch to if I really had to… but every other browser I’ve seen only offers left-side vertical tabs at best, which is terrible if you want 3 monitors in a left-to-right layout with your browser on the left.

But couldn’t you go to where the alternative dungeon’s keys are, get those and come back to get the earlier dungeon’s item that way?
I can’t see how you can softlock?

why would you pick Zelda 1 over Zelda 2 if you think 2 is more fun

High quantity, low quality?
Maybe video games should be priced at value per hour

- Comment on What games have you been playing recently 1 year ago:
Contraband Police - it’s like Papers Please, but since it’s in first person, it’s more complex - you have to manage the whole border crossing area with the few staff you have, you have a car that you have to manually drive to a supply shop and to drop prisoners and contraband off at, and you can get ambushed along the way or at your base, where you’re manually be shooting at smugglers with guns you buy.
Shadows of Doubt - A game where you play as a detective in a city and you have to solve cases (sometimes murders) and often end up committing crimes yourself along the way. A lot of cases solved used by matching faces to names to fingerprints to voices to jobs to blood type, eye colour, hair colour, age, and so on. Extremely addictive and often hilarious, despite how buggy this early access game is.
Dicey Dungeons - A roguelike deckbuilder with 6 different classes where you roll dice against cards with different effects and your enemy does the same to you. I don’t love roguelikes and really don’t like deck games but this one is really appealing, and has a great soundtrack. The different classes play through a LOT of different “episodes” where the rules of the game change.
also playing a lot of Heroes of the Storm every goddamn night

It’s a full remake, not like a port or a rom

Boomer’s Adventure in ASMIK World.
I never figured out why they gave the world such a weird name, or didn’t just call it Boomer’s Adventure

Do yourself a favour and get Bitwarden or similar. Browser password managers are way too vulnerable.
- Comment on Interview: ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Effects Supervisor J. Alan Scott On Reimagining The Gorn 1 year ago:
I love SNW and greatly dislike Lower Decks, so it was pretty enjoyable for me when the crossover episode happened and the crew of the SNW all looked at the Lower Decks crew with expressions on their faces in the same way I thought of them, throughout the entire episode
- Comment on Interview: ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Effects Supervisor J. Alan Scott On Reimagining The Gorn 1 year ago:
I didn’t follow TOS and can’t follow what’s going on with the Gorn in SNW.
It seems really strange because every SNW episode has been episodic and they’ve been such great episodes, that now they’ve gone back between episode 1 and episode 10 with this Gorn arc, it’s souring the show for me.
Like maybe if this made more sense to me, fine, but can we go back to Spock and Chapel and T’Pring all dealing with their we-can’t-do-this relationship and Erica wanting to get out of the pilot’s seat for a while, and La’an dealing with a past and a relationship she’s forbidden to talk about, and M’Benga trying to deal with a dark past, and Uhura learning she’s more than she thinks she is… all that great stuff one episode at a time and then why not an episode perfectly mixed in with a musical as the penultimate episode to the season finale.
Oh, and by the way the Gorn are back so I guess there’s a new big uninteresting threat that Pike and the crew have to deal with to finish things off… OK.
- Comment on Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it? 1 year ago:
Final Fantasy 7 Remake. My god, what a disaster over the original.
I can’t bring myself to continue it even though (I think?) I’m half way through the game, because while the Sector 5 reactor in the original is, by good game design standards, just a replica of the Sector 7 reactor with less going on - since you’ve already done the same thing earlier on, in Remake they decided to make it an enormous labyrinth that you can’t find your way out of, just because. I guess they needed to extend the playtime.
That’s just one of many, many things wrong with the game despite an amazing original, but it’s the spot that completely prevents me from loading it up again to continue on. I went and started a new game in the original instead, just to be sure it wasn’t the nostalgia glasses talking. It wasn’t.

When does Chrono Trigger really start to get good? I’ve tried to play it a few times but it never fully holds me.
