Super Mario Odyssey. It’s mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

I love this video. The escalating insanity is wonderful. I once got the Harder Drives music stuck in my head for about 2 days straight.
Is 16GB RAM “plenty?” I’m not so sure. It depends on what kind of development you’re doing, what you’re running locally, etc. My work laptop has 16 gigs hard capped, and I always wish I had more headroom. Obviously, budget matters, so that’s a call for you to make, but 16 gigs is probably the smallest amount to call “enough” these days.
(Of course, it’s also extremely easy to expand if you find you need more, so…)
Can’t speak to overall issues, and haven’t watched it since it originally aired, but there was somewhat infamous friction between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi, to the point where they would not appear in a scene with each other. The scene in the final episode (or near it, I don’t exactly remember) in which they appear together at the bar is assembled from separately shot footage.
I think it mostly suffered from the standard network TV show issue of not having a real plan beyond “as many episodes as possible”.
First two episodes are absolutely superb. Brilliant hook.
I hope you’re not implying that this might have been… intentional?😲
Journey.
Sometimes I well up just thinking about it, let alone listening to it. Wonderful.
Oh, it’s not even not-a-joke in the way I thought. 🤣 Don’t mind me, I’ll just turn and face the wall for a bit…
Edit: OK, that’s a great gif!
I initially thought this was a gag on how people having their photo taken back the had to sit still for a long time…
But no, just jpg…
I love this film, have watched it numerous times.
The song For A Friend by The Communards that plays over the closing credits was written for Mark Ashton (played in the film by Ben Schnetzer), and it’s a sad, poignant and beautiful song.
Lorenna McKennitt set this to music, and it’s really beautiful:
If it’s working correctly, it should be as simple as accessing (internal ip) : (port) at (external ip) : (port).
There are a bunch of things that might be going wrong if it’s not working. Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to help you diagnose the issue!
Happy to help!
Not quite middle class people, but otherwise correct:
In 1900, there were fewer than 3,000 cars on the roads of France. To increase the demand for cars and, accordingly, car tyres, car tyre manufacturers and brothers Édouard and André Michelin published a guide for French motorists, the Michelin Guide.
Glad to hear its not universal.
No experience I’ve had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.
Not saying that for-profit companies don’t have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.
That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It’s not an experience I’d be excited to repeat.
It’s a really fun audiobook, if that’s your thing!
The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It’s a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.
Another detective game from 2022 I loved that’s similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening…
Both under 8 hours to complete.
