IT here: you’re right about Outlook being junk, but I disagree with your current year argument. What’s laughable about having your emails synced locally?

And the fact that the status notification now has an area of roughly 4 pixels.

Would an alias solve this?

Do you just go around looking for KDE users to argue with?

Couple I’ve come across recently and haven’t seen here yet:

micro - a nano-style terminal text editor with modern features and plugins.

termscp - a terminal FTP (et al) client heavily inspired by WinSCP.

…So you do go around looking for KDE users to argue with. Sounds like fun.

Simutrans is quite interesting, although it’s probably closer to a Transport Tycoon than a SimCity. Otherwise I tend to go for SimCity 3000.

For general purpose, I’d say 8bitdo Ultimate C.

I am a huge fan of the GameCube pad and would use it for everything if I could.

For 2D games, particularly fighting games, I’m very fond of the Saturn pad.

However, if I had to pick a best controller ever, it’s got to be the SNES pad. No question.

a streaming server

Huh, that’s not a bad idea. Something that, say, Links to another machine running Steam…?

I agree with your statement. However, what I believe the original comment was saying is that if the developers who have lost their jobs were to get together and make a game as they describe, then they would buy it. The malice was directed at Microsoft and so on.

At least, that’s how I read it…

Fuck corporations

is precisely what everyone’s been saying this whole time. Nobody’s blaming the devs. Your rant is misplaced.

It works about as well, which is to say, it doesn’t really work at all

It’s called market research.

Considering you have to play the original to complete DK64, they probably did.

(Not only that but you have to be really good at playing the original. With an N64 pad, too!)

It was the original, but starting from a higher (possibly the highest?) difficulty level and, as you say, with only one life. But yes, it’s not quite the same experience as if you just rocked up to your average cabinet in 1981.

Either way, the two games are so wildly different that I don’t see much value in comparing them directly

C’mon, they weren’t that bad. A bit esoteric at times, sure…

LunarLoony, 11 days ago

Guessing XCOM 2, judging by the font.

Yes, because deer know what roads are

Lampreys. I know they’re probably not sitting under the sand, just waiting for me so they can feast on my feet… but it still gives me pause every time I go to the beach

Hey, it’s a free country

As a sysadmin, that actually sounds pretty useful. If they add a blocklist feature, it might be a good system-wide malware / ad blocking solution.

Could combine it with UK terminology and call it a foot

What about Stevie?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Nicks - one of the world’s most celebrated female singers, famously part of Fleetwood Mac in the 70s. Thought it was a funny pun.

You can use Windows 10 indefinitely without using a key. You’ll lose out on a few settings, mainly to do with personalisation, and you’ll have a watermark on your screen - but if it’s just for one game, then perhaps that’s something you can live with.

…there are also Certain Methods to permanently activate Windows without a key at all if necessary.
