Brotato was the only game I played this week.
Do you play devilution x with trackpad mouse?

I always find the sentiment of “no updates, no downloads” to be not quite right in the context.
The chameleon likely would’ve been more at home with Indie/retro-inspired games. The games that have mastered the concept of ongoing updates without punishing the consumer.
Terraria and Stardew Valley in a state of constant evolution, still getting better 10 years, 15 years after their release.
Dead Cells, Dredge, Vampire Survivors, Binding of Isaac, Grim Dawn, No Man’s Sky, Brotato, any number of other indie games that have lived on for years due either massive or incremental updates.
The solution works for the AAA games problem. “The game should be playable and feature complete at launch”. For these games, the DLC is often just cash grabs, looking for reasons to milk customers. The “gold release” state not being updated later requires the multi billion dollar studios to finish, polish and deliver.
But these are not the kind of games the chameleon would have been able to play, its wheelhouse would have been the indie games that started out as fun games and became something a hundred times more over time.
Yeah. Didn’t expect more to pop up though. Already blocked two yesterday, this is another one.
Either this community is experiencing a bot problem, or a troll problem. That sucks either way.
Every time I hear new music now, I’m just gonna say “sounds like Offspring”
Yeah, it’s a satire site that got big in punk rock circles some years ago making fun of the Punk and Hardcore scene.
I didn’t know it was still going.

I got a humble bundle full of Star Wars books/magazines the other week. I haven’t bought a humble bundle in a few years so I didn’t realise I was actually buying Kobo estore licenses for them.
I’ve now spent a week trying to strip the Adobe drm using calibre, with no luck. I either get an error message from calibre or the output still has drm on it.
That’s getting old school. I had to do the same thing to get Shovel Knight to accept input properly about 10 years ago.
I sent a message to the dev about it, but there wasn’t a Linux port yet so they were stumped. I changed the repeat rate of the key input in kde and there it went like magic.
I’m seeing Tabac come up more and more and I feel like I should try it. I see it comes in a balm.
Only that it’s such a mouse/cursor driven and fast paced game, it can be a bit too fiddly with touchpads. There’s some good custom control schemes people have made to make it comfortable to play but you do really feel the difference from playing on desktop.
I got back into Terraria after a 5 year break, and been playing it anytime my kids are busy with something
You’re just hoping he stumbles across this randomly one day?
I’m not active enough of an internet guy to remember to actually post stuff - so we’re going back 6 months…
I surprised my daughter (and the entire family) on Christmas morning when they found this waiting in the living room. I hadn’t told my partner I’d been working on anything, kept it quiet.
It’s all just pine, dressed all round. Had to go buy a cheap and nasty jigsaw to cut the doors and opening between floors since my coping saw broke whilst trying to work this (handle snapped clean off, thanks Stanley)
The roof- cut at an angle, turned one piece over and glued it. Then stood like a statue holding it for half an hour pressing it against the ground until it dried enough. Couldn’t think of any other way to hold it tight at that angle -_-
The floors and balcony are all slotted into through dados. Cut, chiseled and then cleaned up a bit with trim router. And I hate so much working pine with chisels! (I’ve since got a bigger router bit that would have made this much easier)
Finished with water based Jarrah stain, with water based acrylic paint on the roof and “bathroom”. Some of that finish is really sloppy, I was still out there late on Christmas Eve trying to get the last few coats on.
A leftover sheet of mdf (think about 5mm) just painted and nailed in as the back wall.
There’s a little set of stairs on the ground floor finished with dark carnauba wax. There’s also a little rope ladder going up to the top floor - was from our pet bird who had left us recently.
A whole mish mash of different ideas here, but I just wanted to make something fun and interesting for my daughter.
For what I wanted to do for her first big Christmas (just turned 3), this turned out better than I thought I could do.
Finally completed a bed for my 3 year old daughter. This was my first project in 20 years, so it’s taken me about 9 months of relearning techniques, practicing, finding the right tools, and just finding time really.
Originally was just M&T and half lap joins, but when setting up I decided it was a little too wiggly so I put 38mm and 17mm angle brackets to reinforce it.
Mostly construction lumber from local hardware shop. A few pieces “feature pieces”, Blackbutt and Macrocarpa. Finished with walrus furniture oil. The slats were cut down from someone selling off pieces of their bed on marketplace. (?)

Do you remember the days before proton? Like the time I couldn’t play Terraria for months because they didn’t have anyone in their dev team who could update the Linux version to keep it working. The workaround was to get the windows version working through wine.
Using wine to play windows games is something we have done for years before proton made it easier. It’s a very Linux thing to do. Even some old ports were just using wine wrappers.
