I got back into it about a month ago, picking up from where I left off in 2019. I’m playing the stories and maps in chronological order, and because there’s loads of incentives to go do stuff or collect things in older maps, there’s been people around the entire time. People have been super-duper helpful to me anytime I mention that I’m a returning player. Lovely game, lovely community.

I love photos like this. Looks cozy!

Did you install powertop recently? I had issues with Bluetooth with it.

I introduced a friend to Earthbound and we played it together on the SNES app. It was nice because I could watch them play and point my cursor to things, and even take the controls from time to time. It’s not a bad way to play games but I have better options for playing retro alone.

Oh no. Suika made my top 3

I remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don’t “clean” it regularly, like on Windows.

Very surprising to see Castlevania Legends there. Konami usually likes to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Team Fortress 2

I’m too young and missed out on its release, but I’ve played some P99 and man EverQuest must have been an absolutely magical experience in 1999.

Your comment got me curious so I had a look.

From their FAQ:

Will Magic Earth be Open Source?

No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.
