Happy New Year to you as well! And yes definitely should. Though I'm definitely more on discord now than elsewhere.

Happy New Year to you as well!

Such a unique thing that was both fun and frustrating to try and pull apart trying to pull on just one more thread, one more hint, one more room.

My game of the year #BluePrince . I will freely admit that I did not discover every secret that Mount Holly has to offer, but genuinely one of the most special puzzle games I've ever played.

Mechwarrior 5 Clans is such a game I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did given how down I was on Mercenaries. The move to a linear campaign and changes to the Mechlab because you have omnimechs really do a ton to fix so much of what brought that previous game down for me.

They were a bit off with timing this time around so it was a little after, but the expedition they do with every patch always fast tracks you to the new stuff. So patch time is always a good time to just go in and see the new thing.

I think for jams where I'm always going to make a web build I'll be working in GDScript until they figure out the C# side of things. But my preference by far would be to just be C# all the time. I think if you come from Python you'd probably think differently, but that's not me.

Oh no! I almost did that too, but had the distinct feeling I should jump back down.

Thanks! Just played yours and I was like how many levels did you make?! Really neat, even if some of those levels are very mean.

I did! lim-ak.itch.io/gmtk2025

I've been failing to complete jams for a variety of reasons so it felt good to have something I'm happy with despite all the unfinished edges.

Looks cool I'll give it a go when I'm less sleepy.

I was definitely rushing today to get mine done. Good theme this year, definitely had fun concepting.

Startpage remains AI free as far as I can tell. Some of the firefox forks like Waterfox and Librewolf also have no AI but kind of my nature every firefox fork is a very small team of contributors compared to something like Vivaldi.

I did the switch on my secondary PC earlier this year and bar a one or two issues at the start I'm mostly pretty happy with it. Mint is the distro I ended up settling on after trying out a handful.

I just looked this up. They just released an 8th edition in April this year.

Zen is my secondary right now, but that's because you can do fun stuff with split views and compact modes to just have some floating webpage with no other UI. Firefox is my main, but I've been looking at waterfox and librewolf.

Did you try digiKam for your purposes? I'm in darktable land so I'm going to keep my mouth shut on if that project has UX issues.

I've been using Mint on my secondary PC for a while now and it's mostly been fine. But I still haven't found a good replacement for MusicBee, everything I've tried sucks in some way or other and I have half a mind to download some source code and start fucking around.
