Yeah, somewhat agree.
It's great just to see it exist. And not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, especially when the series hasn't had a game in 15 years.
But by the end of it, I was kinda left wanting some new hook.
Sylux showing up was a cool moment though. I didn't expect them to honor that tease from Prime 3, and I appreciate it.
Ehh, I know it's not the original source, but I saw it there. Then it was either link to that or Twitter.
I hadn't heard the rumor yet, but the timing sure does feel right for one of those!
Metroid is the big question. My guess is that it's a no-show again, but wouldn't mind being wrong.
I've heard Fire Emblem remake rumors, so I'm hoping for that.
Well said. Within the existing framework of copyright law, the emergency open library thing that got them sued seems obviously illegal, despite it being a good thing. What's good and what's legal don't always line up.
The Internet Archive's work is too important. The library portion (that does controlled digital lending of published books) is nice, but I wouldn't be too hurt if it goes down. Regular public libraries can fill a lot of that role. But the archive itself is incredible, and losing that would be a huge shame.
Legally, I don't know that admitting fault and saying sorry does much good, but it certainly isn't surprising that they got into hot water here.
Definitely reminds me of NES Remix too. I really like the the little mini time attack challenges here, so I'll probably check it out eventually.
The small print on the page does clarify for sure that the full NES games aren't included though, which is a huge shame. Would be a really solid package if they were.
I think what you're describing at the end there is basically what Brave (browser) tried to do.
Excellent book. It's very far from hands-on, and doesn't even address UI in particular most of the time. Won't tell you how to lay out anything, but puts you on the right empathetic mindset for design in general.
Based on OP's description, might be just the ticket, but may also be too general for some tastes.
Ebooks have their convenience, and once in a while I'll take a free one if offered, or pick them up cheap in a bundle.
But physical books capture my interest way better. More satisfying to hold and look at. Having a physical object around is a reminder to read. And paper books are better for tuning out distractions. If I try to read ebooks on a phone, tablet, or PC I can easily lose focus (though nice dumb-device readers are surely out there, I don't have one).
And I meant to say, most helpful resource for me was the website rtings. Most review and best of lists I can find by searching are so spammy, it's hard to get any signal. But at least that one let's me filter a table of printers by features. I just don't know how many they're missing.
Had to get a new one recently too. I've had good experiences w/ Brother in the past too, but couldn't find one that quite fit the bill. Needed color and for it to be able to handle cardstock.
Ended up getting an Epson, one that's in the eco tank line. Has been great so far. Works just fine out of the box on Linux (LTS Ubuntu, anyway)
The website https://nobsgames.stavros.io/ helps surface these, and let's you filter out based on different things.
One that I like in particular is Gauguin. It's a Sudoku-like with different math-y rules.
Anuto TD is a tower defense game that is also really good, but not so low stress.
Lichess, if you're into Chess. It's a great, no compromise, high quality app. Stressful if you get too worked up about competitive, but puzzles are at least relaxing.
