- Comment on Best games that can be completed in under ten hours? 10 months ago:
The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It’s a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.
Another detective game from 2022 I loved that’s similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening…
Both under 8 hours to complete.
- Comment on What's the best game you played this year (that didn't come out this year)? 11 months ago:
Super Mario Odyssey. It’s mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

I love this video. The escalating insanity is wonderful. I once got the Harder Drives music stuck in my head for about 2 days straight.

I hope you’re not implying that this might have been… intentional?😲

Oh, it’s not even not-a-joke in the way I thought. 🤣 Don’t mind me, I’ll just turn and face the wall for a bit…

I initially thought this was a gag on how people having their photo taken back the had to sit still for a long time…
- Comment on [I Just Watched] Pride, 2014 1 year ago:
I love this film, have watched it numerous times.
The song For A Friend by The Communards that plays over the closing credits was written for Mark Ashton (played in the film by Ben Schnetzer), and it’s a sad, poignant and beautiful song.
- Comment on PC Game Recommendation for a Broken Arm? 1 year ago:
The Curse of the Golden Idol is a detective-puzzle game that is easily played one handed, is cheap, and is great.
Invisible Inc is like a stealthy XCOM (which I see on your profile), and again, easily played one handed.
- Comment on VPN help? How do I connect to local devices? 1 year ago:
If it’s working correctly, it should be as simple as accessing : at :.
There are a bunch of things that might be going wrong if it’s not working. Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to help you diagnose the issue!
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
Glad to hear its not universal.
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
No experience I’ve had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.
Not saying that for-profit companies don’t have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It’s not an experience I’d be excited to repeat.

I started the Irish flag that ended up running to intersect the Enterprise. I would never have had it erase the 1701, and tried to move the flag up!
Still, I did learn about this place on the back of it… Happy to be aboard!
