Chess. Fuckin’ a, no new characters for like a thousand years now. One map. Small children can beat me. Shit’s trash.

Great review! I’ve been curious about the Insurgency games for a while, but it always seemed like a difficult game to get into for a casual player like me. But it sounds like it’s enjoyable for new players if they have the right group.

I did play the Insurgency mod for Half Life 2 back when that was a thing, and I remember thinking it was a lot more hardcore than Counter Strike. I’m glad they had success with the full game releases.

Well, nothing yet. I’m hunting for a spare microSD card so that the thing will turn on.

It has an MP3 player app. There’s no headphone jack, but I’m guessing a usb-c-to-3.5-mm converter will work. I like using a standalone MP3 player at the gym – I’ll see if this works well for that.

Aside from that, I’ll just use it as an actual VMU, and check out all the games that have VMU features that I never played back in the day. Do you have any recommendations?

I’m curious about whose website this is. Does this person make one-off informational pages? This security.html page has one style, then there’s popular_self_hosting_services.html with a different style, and the homepage with a classic, basic HTML style.

I haven’t read the article yet – I can’t say if it’s good info or bad info. But it’s nice to know something about who’s writing it when it comes to this kind of thing.

I mean, there’s gotta be a few nines in there if you keep going enough decimal places to the right…

A mistake in the article: ghostty is not “nearly two decades” old. It’s like two years old. I think the author saw that the ghostty developer had been on github for that long, and assumed that the ghostty project had been going the whole time.

It’s great to see popular projects moving to alternatives.

It’s amazing how all of my Genesis, Playstation 1, and Dreamcast games still work, as will work as long as I have the game and console and they are in good condition. But that isn’t guaranteed for a game I buy next week.
