Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes ranks number one for me; the original story with updated control scheme and graphics is awesome. Then it’s a toss up between 2 and V. 2 is a solid game in the same mould as the first, but V allows me to Fulton extract unsuspecting enemies which is a genius mechanic that allows me an immense range of fuckery.

I’d forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation

About how far does this leave us from a usable quantum processor? How far from all current cryptographic algorithms being junk?

Ok, good first step. When do the prosecutions for physical abuse start?

That may well be the thing I’m looking for, thanks for the pointer!

You don’t understand because I didn’t state why 😅 I have enough time and energy to set up and manage containerised applications. 20 years ago I might have had the drive to set up a local dev version, manage the dependencies and set up local init scripts, but not anymore.

KDE Connect is a great idea, thanks!

My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

Take your pick from the Linux family tree

I’ve not come across Arteck, thanks for the tip.

I use a trackball regularly. What’s the make + model and how well does it work for you?

I’d not considered that, thanks

Thanks for the comprehensive rundown, adding LP switch keyboards to my search

Nice, thanks

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into these.

Looks very neat! Not sure I could fit it in my backpack though 🤔

Good question. Too large would be something larger than the deck itself. I need it to fit into a regular day backpack with other stuff.

Too small would be one of those Rii style keyboards with built in trackpad that you need to hold in your hands and type with your thumbs.

Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.

I’d say it’s time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won’t abide private efforts then it’s time to make the government do it.

There are many days when I feel exactly how this looks.
