  • Day of the Tentacle (1993). Admittedly, it was the remastered version from 2016 which has more modern controls, but the game is exactly the same as the old one.

    It was fascinating to look at it again with more mature eyes: besides the fact that it feels a bit dated as a whole, it was funny to me to notice how much humanity loves time travel stories.

    It’s not that this game is doing anything different in that regard, it’s just that I thought about how much media exists on the subject (and has been very successful).

    Anyhow, although dated, the game is brilliant and wholesome and made me wonder which are the best (and recent) graphic adventure games










  • I know it’s a meme, but I can’t resist saying that if you check his website out, you’ll see he has all of his books and drafts available entirely for free and he also says he’s agreed with the publisher to cap the book’s price to something reasonable (which used to be true, I haven’t checked now).

    He’s also nice in person, if you talk to him!

    It’s too bad that the meme is right and his legacy will be not having given solution to any problem 😁

    Edit: fixed grammar






  • I stopped using Windows in 2008 (juggling between a mixture of Linux and Mac OS). One of the reasons, is that at that time I thought Windows was legitimately a mess.

    Over time, I thought it got a bit better when seeing it on friends’s computers.

    Due to laziness, Windows 11 got installed on my office computer (which I use 1% of my time) and I thought it was honestly pretty good (as in, I never thought about switching back, but it was fine to use it when necessary).

    Now that they plug in ads, I’ll certainly want to switch back /s


  • Very recently I started noticing that if you search anything on YouTube you don’t find what you need at all unless you add many keywords and even then, the site only gives you one coherent answer and tons of garbage you don’t need.

    Mostly because, instead of giving you videos on the full set of keywords you use, it gives the first video which is based on all of them, and all subsequent videos based on just a single of such keywords, so mainly you get a lot of crap from influencers or such.

    Has anyone else experienced this and knows if there is a way around it?
