This but keyboard one player and another on dad's flight stick. My sister and I took turns. Keyboard isn't much of a disadvantage in my opinion, kinda like in Trackmania actually.

The OST in Special Edition still holds up wonderfully. Especially Proving Grounds and the Main Menu.

My first spicy pillow was a PSP battery forgotten in a desk drawer. It never got used besides for a CFW installation one time. Oops.

I think it's not so true. MasterCard wanted an excuse to do this anyways. You can tell because the bigger backlash does not sway them at all.

- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
American non-profit open source browser from scratch is certainly better, still not it.
Even though I'll probably switch :p I follow their youtube channel. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough and all that.

Facebook Container comes to mind, they've done this before already.
- Comment on Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery 2 weeks ago:
I mean truly independent of USA code base. Everything is still relying on upstream Chromium or Firefox with superficial tweaks and gimmicks. The maintainers of LibreWolf and Fennec which are what I'm using are more like game mod devs.
If ecosia+qwant actually forked from either and broke compatibility going their own path I'd consider them non USA. I know those two are working together on a search indexer and I'm very excited about that coming to fruition because that's more what I'm talking about and eager to support.
I realise what a mammoth challenge this is :( Probably needs EU funding like the search indexer.

IMO MasterCard leadership already agreed with the nazis and were just looking for an excuse to act.

I just want a web browser that's not based in the USA.
- Comment on Car Park Capital - Official Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Parkitect is the most RCT-like modern entry and is also co-op. I bounce between these two.
Planet Coaster scenarios and park management suck and it still looks like RCT3.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 weeks ago:
Aye and it helps the fans are so passionate making new maps to play for both Thief games and TDM.
DKR holds up so much better. It's just mire realised too. Way more stuff to do. MK64 is skeletal more like an arcade game really. Wish it'd get some reverse engineering love as much as I enjoy the fan made map packs for MK64.
With DKR once you get used to the car drifting camera movements, bunny hopping the hovercraft, letting go of the gas before hitting boosts, and learning the plane can also trigger ground boosts you'll feel like a god.
I see a lot of people shit on the hovercraft while I'm over here bunny hopping sharp corners jumping up to smash into walls on purpose like a psycho so I don't slow down ping ponging all over. It's such a joy.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 2 weeks ago:
I adored Disco Elysium while playing it, but the ending felt kinda rushed/soured for me so it didn't quite hit top 3. However, the book Sacred And Terrible Air by Robert Kurvitz that was fan translated to English semi recently helped a great deal with unanswered questions about the world the game takes place in that I had which really helped brighten my overall opinion of the game in retrospect.
The book isn't very approachable I think with almost zero exposition, so it actually helps to have played the game first.

Not gonna rank them because I can't.
Age of Empires II I've played since release and still do occasionally.
Everhood 1 everything about it I love. During covid things got very dark for me personally and this game just hit perfectly on some stuff plaguing my mind at the exact right time I most needed it. The devs were one hit wonders unfortunately. Coming from that, the sequel was atrocious.
Thief 2: The Metal Age. It's like crack to this brain of mine. Yes I play The Dark Mod too.

Wow they really went for the RCT look, even the logo. I uh, would've preferred a theme park game tbh...but I'll definitely play this.

- Comment on Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025? 3 weeks ago:
I sell to locals first always, but some stuff you just can't. Nobody around me knew for example what a PC Engine Duo was when I was selling off my console collection. eBay is good for that.
I'd garage sale first, local buy&sell websites/apps second, then go eBay for whatever remains of enough value to bother with.

Bandcamp is my still primary new music source, and I've uninstalled my modded Spotify apps over AI. I'm just not gonna deal with it.

One of my friends works as a train engineer and despite the brutal and dangerous career she says the regular use of Taxis to and from the trains are the most dangerous and sketchy part of the job esp for a woman. Refuses private owner apps like Uber entirely now, there's been attempts on her on the 5AM trips.
