I adored the first one. Exciting!

Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.

Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.

“A Clockwork Orange”, famously, was set in a post-Cold War setting where the West and Russia had grown close, and the who,s thing was written in a dialect that was part English and part Russian. But I agree with the other poster that in general it’s too much work.

I use an app called “Recipe Keeper”. Once the recipe page with all of the garbage has loaded, I hit the “share to Recipe Keeper” button, and it strips out all of the garbage and just shows the recipe.

This is probably not a terribly helpful answer, but on the iOS side, there is Apple Arcade, which is a huge library of “free” (aka included with the subscription) games that don’t have any ads or microtransactions. If there’s an Android equivalent, just give her that as her app store. You’d spend a set amount per month and keep her away from the predatory business models.

I loved the book “Halloween Party” but this sounds like it changed a LOT. Anyone out there who has read the book is it any good as an adaptation or am I just going to be annoyed the whole time?

Huh, and this weekend I saw “Talk To Me”, which didn’t even make the list. Good movie, though.

It stands for “Really Simple Syndication”, but you don’t need to know or care about that part.

The part that matters is that you get news from places you trust without the algorithm BS. RSS lets you subscribe to any website you want, and you see all of their new posts, in reverse chronological order, no algorithm. You can (if you have a good reader) filter out subjects you’re not interested in, and just see the stuff you care about.

I recommend trying out Feedly (feedly.com) with a few sites you already follow, and going from there.

How could you do a Red Dead Redemption 3, though? Like, this article is all just “technically, it would be possible and could look nice”, but how could it work from a story point of view? The only thing I could think would be to go even farther back in time, because John Marston’s story is completely done, and we’ve seen as much of Arthur’s story as we need to.

 

The fun of Lemmy’s “all” is that you see posts from all around the world. Today my feed is suddenly full of memes in German about an old white guy with an eyepatch. Who is he, and why is he suddenly a meme?

“Pirate dice”, aka liar’s dice. I love bluffing games and it goes quick.

Quiddler. The rules are very simple to learn (it’s rummy meets Scrabble), and you can set a # of cards to go to as a way of defining the length. But even going to 10 (the official end) doesn’t take too long.

This looks like a great movie. FOR ME TO POOP ON!

Sorry, there aren’t many opportunities as good as this one to bust out Triumph the Insult Comic Dog jokes these days. Anyway, I’ve seen the trailer far too many times in front of other movies, and it looks a bit crap. I’m willing to be persuaded otherwise but that is what I’m assuming.
