As for a Christmas game memory this is a bit niche and I don't actually have concrete memories of it because it was probably about 20ish years ago. I would be really interested to learn if others remember this and could say what this is. I remember it was a browser based flash game that I want to say was made by Nintendo (I could be misremembering just because it sounds so odd for Nintendo with no Nintendo characters). It was wintery and Christmas themed and I remember it being sort of like an advent calendar with a new level becoming available each day in December. I remember it being a 2D platformer with a penguin character you play as.
I bring it up as a fun Christmas memory because I remember excitedly playing it every day in December leading up to Christmas and loving the music to get me in the Christmas mood!

AutomaticButt Link ParentThis is really cool, I love the mystery and surprise of it. I am interested in 3, 8 and 14. I'm not sure what any of them are but I'm excited to see what these could be referring to!This is really cool, I love the mystery and surprise of it. I am interested in 3, 8 and 14.

I think this is a huge piece that circulates on Facebook or whatever and is a subliminal, if not more surface level for some, thought process so that people are placing blame on the lowest workers on the totem pole at the store, or restaurant, etc..

Comment on Great audiobooks that come to mind because the narrator is amazing and NOT Ray Porter? in ~books
AutomaticButt LinkMy favorite is Roy Dotrice narrating the A song of ice and fire books. He would consistently surprise me with a range of voices in a book with so many characters to keep track of. Not only that,...My favorite is Roy Dotrice narrating the A song of ice and fire books. He would consistently surprise me with a range of voices in a book with so many characters to keep track of. Not only that, but how recognizable all of the characters became by his portrayal of them, knowing who was talking with little context. I can still hear his interpretation of multiple characters in my heads years after I last heard them.

[I really like the art style and theme of Black Book. I've played a few turn based tactic card games and get really into them! I especially like the dark atmosphere and creepy mythical beasts.]
Hype Game: [Hypnospace Outlaw] from
4. [Bright][If you've heard of this game before, you've probably heard the hype about it and it deserves it. This game has memorable visuals and music that I still listen to consistently. This game gave me a wave of nostalgia for what the internet used to be. If that isn't enough to convince you, this game has so much lore for story lovers, unique and different "puzzles" than other games and will evoke conspiracies and mysteries if you're thirsting for that too!]

Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 release is pushed earlier to August 3rd (for PC) in ~games

It already runs just as well as on PC. At least as of the last time I played on the deck, I did change a few controls for QOL shortcuts and I would find I'm missing a command (although not a "necessary" command, like overhead gameplay for example) outside of the default assigned for keyboard and mouse games. It was very easy to do though and saved my control scheme once I got it right! I can only imagine it will be easier come release with community controls and potentially official controls to really tighten it up.
