Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).
I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don’t load!) If this patch can work around those issues that’d be great.
Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!
Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to.
Edit: no that’s just NOLF revival. I suppose I shouldn’t change it now, and thanks for posting ☺️
No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.
They’re both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we’re golden!
Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one’s possible to buy on Gog and Steam…)
Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I’d prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I’d still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!
[Finished with the edits now!]
Allow me—blissfully unaffiliated with all the parties involved in my post—highjack this irredeemable piece of spam with an actual “blackjack game” worth playing:
Dungeon Degenerate: Gamblers is Balatro but blackjack and just as wild a ride!
Doesn’t have an entry for monads 🙃
One hand, the game changed surprisingly little over the years in early access. On the other, it remains incredibly fun since day one in early access 😊
As an EXR elitist I deeply resent Google’s blatant sabotage of JXL.
(And also laugh at the PNG elitists, as is custom.)
Yeah, as pinned tabbed. Very much so. I actually like them specifically because I can forget about them. I use them like someone would use a napkin in that classic Hollywood trope sense! Just to work something out and then forgetting about it, except, if needed, I can open up the tab again and copy over stuff to my actual notes later!
I use it almost daily when in bed and thinking of some project or the other—I like to think in text—but don’t want to bring up my notetaker and getting even more distracted.
And I often get friends and family open one up while troubleshooting their problems. What else would I use, Notepad?
Ultimately, why not? Why do people make little standalone tools like this? For fun, probably. Or because they can. As a learning exercise? And when it has no cost to the developer to maintain, or the user to use. Why would I even try to second-guess their motivation?
I don’t believe for a second he could name more than five.
If capitalism insists on those higher up getting exorbitantly more money than those doing the work, then we have to hold them to the other thing they claim they believe in: that those higher up also deserve all the blame.
It’s a novel concept, I know. Leave the Nobels by the doormat, please.
The city (and district) I live in still has its name spelled incredibly wrong, and has had so for the past decade.
You cannot select a municipality name. They’re not buildings or roads marked by mere mortals. And what you can’t select you can’t correct. It is just believed that they are always correct. Immaculate. Immutable.
Every attempt to fix it has failed, from contacting support (as a “premium Google One customer”) or looking for senior Google Maps contributors (all of whom lost all their contacts with “higher up” Googlers when the old map transitioned into new, or just vanished once the forums closed).
In a country where last mile location is often ambiguous, that Google manages to fail at it on a scale large enough to be visible from space says volumes about how worthless their services are.
P.S: Yes, of course it’s correctly marked on OSM. And a lot more.
I can only assume someone made them an offer they could refuse
That’s such a good photo. And by good I mean Trump-tier
That’s what the new RPS reporting looks like eh?
A match made in hell
I didn’t expect Rentals to be as infuriating as they are. But I’d take them over an even smaller hand any day…
I use Penpot for every personal project that I can. The new(ish) grid layout is just beautiful. Figma can’t do that, can it!
Unfortunately, there’s a lot more Penpot can’t do that Figma can. And for any reasonable complex project, or commercial ones, I have to go back to it.
Hopefully Penpot catches up soon! My biggest showstopper right now is variable fonts. If it was possible to manually set CSS somehow, maybe that would help bridge the gap a lot!
