  I remember there was a 1999/2000 Concorde flight schedule that enabled you to celebrate that NYE 3 or 4 times, east to west.

  We have a national videogame museum nearby that works with time slots, you pick an amount of time you want to be there or just get the all day pass, and inside all machines are on free play.

  Hello! Thanks for the tip!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, yeah, only 14%? 2025 is just one year, and there are so many good choices already. Decades of masterpieces often on sale for 5,- vs 1 year of games yet to prove themselves. Last year was about 15%, 2023 9% and 2022 about 17%, going on the previous replays. so i guess in that context you could say ‘only’ 14%.

  It’s an efficient, if somewhat finicky intelligence. It checks out commander.

  I think if you add some twix bars in the mix you have good chances that it wont get worse because of it. Only logical choice is to go the twix route.

  Damn all the negative bullshit is a real shame. I shared the info about this ROM hack with extra veracity in my circles in response to that, and now 3 new people who love being represented by those cool flags are happily trying it out. I’ll try myself later in the week, it looks really cool. Thanks for sharing it here.

  I loved it on the Wii with attached nun-chuck, having my arms both facing out feels more comfortable then in, when witting with a controller. Now you’ll have a full set of inputs to go with it, very cool!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The first time I held a deck I was kind of amazed at how comfortable it is to hold. Bricks shouldn’t be that comfy to hold, but, it is. The ergonomics are spot on. Gotta handle the Steam Controller V2 myself before any verdict, but I have high hopes.

  Same, worked with no hassle, and very comfy controller for me.

  I was also pretty disappointed when i found out Zippo’s drain themselves passively in 1-3 weeks. I thought I was getting the best version of a lighter… :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like your pick, Morrowind. I was very hyped to play it, and when I could finally own it, it was even better then I had hoped.

  I think my pick would be Inscryption. What a weird and delightful game :)

  Basements add a lot of vibe, the map is larger… Phew, I can’t wait until the beta build gets mp enabled!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 460 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (Not OP) You are gonna die, a lot :). Don’t worry about that too much, you can spawn your new char in the same world, and use your built up safehouse just the same. On your second char, you already might have skillbooks (like farming 101)and skill-VHS tapes ( like woodcraft episode 3) that help you level faster waiting for you at the old safehouse. So while progression is also character based, it’s not JUST character based.

  Zombies are nothing 1 on 1, but scary in groups. Instead of fighting 50 zombies at once, try and herd them into a forest or quiet part nearby, and then make the old Irish Goodbye, just sprint out of sight, take the long way back. It’ll take days for them to find their way back.

  Also, it’s a sandbox. Basically every setting is changeable. Dont like something ? Change it. Good luck, have fun!

  Very cool! I’m thinking of going for ubuntu touch, seeing as Android has proven that it’s no longer worth the time investment. Also, Fairphone 5 is my next phone if the current one dies, so it works out.

  Could you share what do you really like about it? And what is your biggest gripe or letdown with it? Thanks!

  For audio, take to a local thrift store or Facebook marketplace or whatever platform is the most used locally and mix and match your own receiver + speaker set. A decent receiver can be found around €50, speakers can be even cheaper. Most modern speakers of some size are decent enough, bought some second hand Jamo tower speakers for 50 for the set(2) as well. Smaller bookcase speakers with minimum 4 inch (if you don’t go for a seperate subwoofer) speakers can be found for €20. You need some oomph in the lower end to get some extra cinema points. Stereo sets are fine, 5.1 is fun but I’d rather have amazing stereo then ok 5.1 , you know?

  For beamers, I’d look for a secondhand beamer that was used in business setting.

  A clean white wall is cheap en convenient beaming surface, but a good screen will help increase brightness which can often be the most tricky part about beaming at home. But harder to do secondhand.

  Sidenote, I almost never save the boxes of stuff I buy, but the tv box gets special treatment in the attic, because in the box it’s very transportable, but without it, I agree, it’s a big hassle.

  GL!
