advantages of owning a mail server:

• create alias gogspam@domain
• add game to account under gogspam@domain
• immediately delete the alias

Capitalism thwarted

vscode is bloated, switch to emacs

emacs is bloated, switch to vim

vim is bloated, switch to vi

vi is bloated, switch to ed

ed is bloated, switch to cat

because a system I worked on was just a bunch of Perl scripts in a trench coat pretending to be a program.

Hmm… OpenBSD ports system and package manager?

and similars

mg (minimal emacs clone, lighter than nvi) and ed user here, minimal editors integrate well into unix environments. I view IDEs as providing what is missing for people who haven’t learned their OS tooling (or their tooling sucks/doesn’t exist). I have no need for a heavier editor because I can already do everything I need to and more with shell suspension & job control, find, and regular expression tools (grep, sed, awk, ed), and building similar capabilities into a huge IDE prevents me from having common tooling when working within other parts of my system, and uses up my limited muscle-memory for learning tools that are largely inferior and poorly documented compared to the standardized portable tooling that works almost everywhere.

Noita is great and extremely unique, but I dislike that once you find a few orbs of true knowledge your runs always start with getting those first. I’m usually too lazy to get the one at

before ending mines, unless I can get a good teleport spell.

If a 2D tarkov-esque extraction shooter roguelite sounds interesting, check out Zero Sievert. I recommend playing on Hunter difficulty (lose all carried equipment & loot on death) for the real extraction shooter experience.

Other Note: You’re not going to like 5BC in Dead Cells because the game mechanic it introduces (Malaise) requires you to play fast or the game gets way harder.

EVE Online AKA Spreadsheets Online, back when I played it in 2009. No idea if it’s the same now. Almost entirely player driven economy and factions (outside of hi-sec).

Elite Dangerous, sort of. No other Space Sim is on its scale (I wouldn’t really call something like Space Engine a space sim). Unique, but mixed recommendations because it’s a very shallow game in a lot of ways, but it’s got a cool vibe. Speaking of which…

Space Engine. Not really a game, so much as a universe-simulator. It is unknown to this day how a mortal could create something of this grandeur. Maybe the source code will be released eventually.

Someone else already mentioned Noita :(

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is the most realistic game ever made. No other game had made me ask “what would I do in real life?” before. Of course, this dies out the more you learn the meta, but your first dozen or so runs are special.

Minecraft is hardly unique now, but when it came out it was one-of-a-kind.

Very well, we will give proper education outside of the schools.

Nah I ain’t about that rust life

cgi on the other hand… 😍😍😍

Baldur’s Gate 3. Currently 20% off on steam, but I want to wait for at least 50% or something, especially for a $60 game.

based, please leak the source code so I can illegally build fromsoftware games on openbsd

pledge() and unveil() were already compiled into the chat client

very cool and based; I take it you’re a chroot fan?

Awfully positive comment section here for a rancid shitty megacorp known for rancid shitty subscription services now trying to predate on gamers.

I suggest that the tech bros should be the first to inject llms into their brain stems, if it can be located.

The longer Bethesda doesn’t touch Fallout the better, as I see it.
