If the Internet has taught me anything, they’re 42 and 69.

So it is indeed greener where you water. Try the body thing next and let us know.

You got a lot of great recommendations already, but I want to add one more indie game: Lost Words Beyond the Page. Gameplay is simple and it’s not very long, but the writing is excellent.

Violations of privacy. Microsoft has that too though, so unless Google has wallpapers they need to step up their game.

As a late Gen X, I was completely lost. So, I guess it’s official: I don’t get your generation.

Ah thank you. I was unaware of the matrix protocol.

I’m obviously out of the loop, because I don’t know. Can someone explain?

That’s another benefit: no more meetings.

I’ve been a proponent of this for ages. It makes no sense to cross some imaginary line and suddenly time shifts. Time should change constantly as you move east or west, up or down. Everyone has their own personal time, which is constantly updated.

Bonus: no more daylight savings switch.

Exactly! Even the indicator light of my speakers bothers me during long nightly sessions. I want to see the screen, nothing else.

You mean the thing that Opera had in the 90s, and Vivaldi since inception?

It was the style at the time.

It’s a reference to The Simpsons.

That’s a misconception. Farmers lobbied heavily against DST. Their work does not abide by the clock; they milk when cows need milking, and they harvest when there’s enough light, no matter what some clock says.

In Europe, DST as we know it now was first introduced by Germany during WW1 to preserve coal, then abandoned after the war, and widely adopted again in the 70s. In the US it was established federally in the 60s.

This is all glossing over a lot of regional differences and older history. But yeah, US farmers were very much against the idea.

The man knows. The man knows everything about you. They’re always watching.

Arch? You’re way too nica. A bare Debian netinstall and a link to linuxfromscratch. They have wget, so they can get started.

A couple of years ago I started playing through the AC games in order. Like you, I had picked several up for free (starting with Unity when the Notre Dame burned), and completed the collection (except the most recent ones) with nice discounts.

I liked Syndicate a lot, especially after Unity which I really disliked. The not-quite-steampunk setting appealed to me, and compared to Unity it controlled much better. I absolutely hated the PC controls in Unity.

I also liked Evie, but honestly could’ve done without Jacob. The sibling idea sounds good on paper, but I don’t think it works. And Jacob is just the less interesting one. I also feel some of the twists in their relationship came out of nowhere.

Gameplay wise the rope launcher was fun. I disliked how often you’d get into a fight just for walking down a street, and using the rope was a good way to escape or avoid that.

Looking back at it, I think this is my second favourite AC. The story is much less compelling than several others, but the setting and characters make up for it.

“Slave” works too.

C++ would be called C for short.

I thought this might be an interesting read until I saw the blurb with 4 hashtags and 4 emoticons in just 4 sentences.

“This button turns on the light in the hallway. Sometimes it brings the whole house down on you, but we haven’t found a way to reliably reproduce this. If that happens just crawl from under the rubble, rebuild the house, and try again. This time the light should turn on.“

“Oh, and send us the log messages.”
