I played for a month or so when it first came out. I got the game for free, as I had pre-ordered it several years prior when it was first announced. It was originally going to be a monthly subscription, so they had the game listed for no cost for pre-orders for the initial week or so, then they decided to switch to a paid copy of the game and no monthly cost. Those who added it to their account during the initial announcement at $0 got to keep it.

I even got to play the beta a little before the official launch, and I could have played the alpha before that if I had remembered the game existed.

It is a beautifully rendered game, but the storyline felt lacking. Also, I've never really played an mmo before this one for any substantial length of time, so it might just not be my style of game. But I didn't find it very engaging, aside from the visuals and the soundtrack which were both great.

I've started to use Playnite. It's nice to have a complete catelog of all my games. Most of my real games (ie ignoring random freebies) are on steam, but I've collected a bunch elsewhere like gog, epic, humble bundle, and others. You can give it credentials and set up nearly all the major catelogs so that it can generate a listing of all games you own.

I use it to mark when I completed a game, but I've only had it for a couple years, so I generally go by memory or by steam statistics of hours played.

Downside is that it's Windows only. It's open source and free, and I still have a windows machine for most of my gpu games, but I mainly game on my steam deck or my Linux laptop these days, so I need to find another option or see if Playnite is wine/Proton compatible.

Not a breakdown of the whole intro exactly, but this breaks down the melody musically and makes some comments about how it relates symbolically.

No, that's not correct. If you create a new file as root, it will own that file. But editing an existing file doesn't change the owner or group of that file.

Do you just mean whistling while breathing in and also while breathing out? I can do that, but there's a short break in the whistle when I switch the airflow direction.

Ie I can whistle a long song without pause, but I can't whistle a single sustained note without a short but noticeable break in the sustain when I switch from breathing out to breathing in and vice versa.

I've only personally used the tizen app a couple times, but my relatives have used it a bunch with no reported issues. I have not had to update it yet, but it's only been a few months. Definitely not frequent updates. My jellyfin server has had one update since then, but even the server updates aren't coming in on a weekly basis, so I don't expect their client will break anytime soon.

It's not super easy, but you can install it on tizen tvs by enabling developer mode. I was able to follow this walk-through to get it on a new TV for my relatives.

Since their TV was newer, I had to do extra steps to create a custom certificate.

The whole process took a while, but it's doable.

That's exactly what the Second Factor PIN is. You have to use both a fingerprint plus a pin to unlock the phone. That feature only recently came out, in the past month or two.

Grapheneos is a rom that only officially supports pixel devices.

Endless Sky is an amazing one. I've put tons of hours into it. It's a top down 2d space trading/fighting game, very similar to Escape Velocity if you've ever played that game.

KeePass with inputstick. It's a device that plugs into a USB A port, and your phone talks to it via Bluetooth. It emulates a keyboard (and mouse if you want), and there's a KeePass plugin for KeePass2Android.

You open one of your password entries, click the username, and it types the username on your computer via inputstick. Ditto for passwords and totp or other fields.

You can also use inputstick to just remotely control your computer, albeit locally only and without a monitor connection. I've used it to control my raspberry pi or android TV, aside from password entry.

With this, you can have your password database be completely offline and your computer have no lasting knowledge of your passwords. Of course, a keylogger would still get the passwords that are "typed".

I've had one of these $40 devices for a few years. I don't use it too often, as I tend to synchronize my KeePass database on all of them, but it does come in handy. I wish the developer of the hardware made a usb-c one, but it works with usb-c to usb-a dongles.
