I really liked Stray, short and sweet with an engaging narative and solid visual design. Simplistic gameplay, but it’s satisfying enough to keep things moving.

It certInly is, it feels very hollow and empty compared to earlier games. I feel that it marks the beginning of the end for Bethesda, it was a pretty steep decline from there.

I get why most people prefer the legendary remaster of the first game to the original, but I would have liked it if they’d carried a lot of the design and narative choices into the sequels. EA bought Bioware in 2007, and I think it shows, but I love jank so perhaps I’m not the most impartial judge.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 2 months ago:
The exp requirements for each skill level are exponential for every seventh level, so the half way point in fully levelling a skill works out to be level 92 (out of 99)

If you’re comfortable hosting your own services, I can recommend FreshRSS for an aggregator and FocusReader for an android client.

My personal favourite is somewhat active on there: bird.makeup/users/dark1x Sadly though it is one of many areas on mastodon that is lacking.

I would definitely recommend consumer grade hardware for a small home server, I ran older server gear (dual e5645+42GB ram) and found it to be loud and power hungry, especially at idle. Moved over to only slightly newer consumer stuff (i5-3470+8GB ram) and it still did what I needed it to, without costing $40AUD a month to run.
8GB of RAM is perhaps a bit limiting at times but I’ve not yet run into any critical issues because of it. I wouldn’t want to try simultaneous, high bit-rate transcodes on it but aside from that it’s been fine for my use case.
