Happy paying customer here, it's great to see the innovations they're making and their interactions with the community.

Just to be explicit, Subnautica: Below Zero is the entry featuring the female protagonist, Robin, not the first game.

Have you played through Myst and Riven? I tried out the classic Myst through GOG, and...I certainly don't have the IQ for it haha

Ace Attorney's OST is such a classic. I've been making my way through the trilogy on PC, and it was crazy how many of those songs I had heard covers of but never realised was from Ace Attorney.

I love the work put into The Witcher 3's OST, especially around some of the old english such as in "Whispers of Oxenfurt". Mikolai Stroinski, Marcin Przybylowicz and others really nail that fantasy vibe.

I love the chiptune aesthetic that Shovel Knight and Undertale really drove forward, they're incredibly catchy!

It's crazy what Andrew Prahlow (Outer Wilds composer) managed to make happen with Outer Wilds with a banjo. I feel the music adds so much to the game, and you can really see his skill in all the different genres of music within the OST, from comfy and familial with Timber Hearth, to the creepier Strange Flames

The FTL composer also composed the Subnautica Below Zero soundtrack. It's a nice mix, almost a combination of FTL sci-fi sounds and the more soothing ambience of the original Subnautica.

It's so brutal and metal, but it fits the game sooooo well!

Another recommendation for Linux Mint here. I've bounced between Manjaro, Ubuntu, Fedora, and I've found Linux Mint to just be fantastic for beginners, in that everything just works, and it does a great job of guiding the user through installation, updating drivers, updating packages (including choosing an appropriate package mirror), and setting up backups.

It's just really nice all around; the only thing I could complain about is lack of touchpad gesture support, but that's probably not an issue for desktop PC usage.

 

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Hollow Knight, Ori and the (Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps), and Kingdom Hearts. Orchestral soundtracks are just something else...

spoilerHaving to precariously traverse those changing tunnels as the sand climbs? It's a tense experience for sure!

 

I love having full control over my music files, but one of the major pain points is moving between applications. Say I start using plex, get real comfy with my playlists, then one day I decide to try out Jellyfin. Sure, I still have all my music on there, but none of my playlists.

Is there some sorta solution I'm not aware of that allows for migration of playlists across platforms / applications?

 

I've been dipping my toes into NextJS, Vercel, PlanetScale, and other serverless / edge providers, and there's so many terms / concepts thrown my way that I feel overwhelmed a lot of the time.

I mean, I'm already a web developer well versed with React, and I love my SPA setup with Vite, so for others outside the web dev space, this must be a nightmare to keep up with.

Was curious to hear your thoughts on the rapidly evolving space of web dev.

 

For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.

 

Personally, I started off with Roblox back in the early 2010s, and taught myself Lua. I really liked those Tycoon games, and wanted to see how they worked.

I eventually found Minecraft (like every kid back in the day did), and learnt Java to make Bukkit server mods.

Around 2016 I thought websites were kinda cool, so I started learning HTML, CSS, and JS, and I've been in the web dev space ever since.

What about the rest of y'all? What's your personal programming path?
