Sadly, it’s actually a hidden-object game, not a point-&-click, which would be more along the lines of Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, or Technobabylon. I don’t understand why Amazon doesn’t go for far greater titles closer to these instead…
It seems like every other week a game studio is massively laying off employees; sometimes after years of development. What I’m reading is that it’s a quick way to lower expenses and pad the investors’ pockets, flooding the market with developers and reducing their value, to then hire them back a few months later at lower...
the only viable option, assuming you’re not already independently wealthy, is that you have to work another job to work on the game in the meantime, which means it will take even longer to come out.
This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don’t know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don’t have a recovery CD or anything like that. I’d also need to back up everything first… which would be a pain…

I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from… a spreadsheet…) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I’m not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files’ local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or...
Hazel doesn’t close tabs because it’s ‘like a trip down memory lane.’ Mozilla says it has some profile and tab group features coming later this year that might help her organize those memories.
With Quick Tabs Ported, you don’t need to look for where tabs are; just invoke the extension and type any part of its name to find and jump to it. It’s been life-changing for me, personally (but yeah, I don’t keep anywhere near this number of tabs, still, haha).
What are your weird use cases for a personal drone?
