Doesn't have to be literally "last week", but what's a recent personal change for you? Why? Was it a conscious decision, a slow realization, a response to something, etc.? Tell us all about it.
I’ve got this site bookmarked for wireless Kobo transfers. I haven’t used it though, so no guarantees. Also this is more of a one-off tool than full wireless sync.
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t vibecoded, because I’ve had it in my bookmarks for quite a while.
I personally use BookFusion for my whole library which gives me cross-device syncing (it’s not self-hostable though). They don’t have KOReader support yet, so you wouldn’t be able to use it on your Kobo currently, but it’s in the works. Nevermind, it’s live. I’ll try this out once I get home from my trip.
Mooneva is a private period tracker built from the ground up for offline-first, no-account menstrual health tracking. Every month, millions of women share intimate health data with apps that upload it to corporate servers — where it can be sold, breached, or subpoenaed. Mooneva works differently: all data stays on your device, always.
Mooneva is 100% free, offline, and open-source. We do not sell your cycle history, we do not have servers, and we cannot read your encrypted backups. To keep this standard alive, we rely entirely on the community we protect.

The current run (happening now) is so cool: a sightreading co-op kaizo Super Mario World race.
I’ve seen plenty of kaizo runs which are always impressive, but this is the first time I’ve seen a co-op one. The fact that they have to figure things out on the fly together is wild.
EDIT: It’s now over. It was SO good! Brilliant level design and brilliant gameplay. I’ll link the VOD once it’s up. Definitely a must watch IMO.
Pretty much any time I see a Gold instead of a Platinum on Protondb now, it's because all the reports are old. From this bundle, Police Simulator's last report was 10 months ago. Sledders was 7 months ago. Dicefolk was 2 years(!) ago.
As someone who used to obsessively put in reports a long time ago, I pretty much stopped because, like you identified, nearly everything Just Works™ now. It's to the point where, if I see a lack of Protondb reports, then I assume the game works. I figure if it didn't, people would log it, but if it does, most people don't bother (they're too busy playing!).
It would be nice if Steam had a first-party system beyond the Deck Verified/Playable icons. They know what OSes are being used and when Proton is running a game, so there's probably a way to automatically flag games as "likely works on Linux" or something based on aggregate player data.
This was perfect! I wishlisted a few games, as well as identified a few that I already own (because of course). Thanks fefellama!
One more for the hype train: Neon White is a banger.
The story and characters weren't really my cup of tea, but the gameplay and soundtrack were excellent. It's the kind of game where the better you get at it, the more fun it is. Fluidly pulling off an amazing run through a level is immensely satisfying.
Game deals always demand a sacrifice -- clearly it was your purchase that let the game appear in this Choice! Thank you for your service. 🫡

Does anyone have experience with any of the games and, if so, would you recommend them? Is there anything in here that you're particularly excited to play?
In unfortunately similar news:
For anyone (like me) who was wondering where Mr. Game and Shout was at this GDQ event, it turns out he was fired for harassment:
MrGameAndShout has lost his job and can no longer volunteer at GDQ.
"Effectively immediately, Shout is no longer GDQ staff and is permanently banned from volunteering at GDQ, due to violating GDQ's harassment policy," reads a message posted last month in the GDQ staff Discord by GDQ director of technology Jason “Wyrm” Deng, which Aftermath has viewed. "I'm sure many of you have questions. What we are able to share is that this report was filed directly with management, and management made the decision that the incident violated the harassment policy. I apologize for how this decision may affect staff and the community. However I need to emphasize we won't be commenting and that there should not be a thread to speculate/comment on this decision beyond what I've shared here."
The Don't Stop, Girlypop! run (YouTube link) was an amazing fever dream. Makes me wish I were any good at movement shooters.
Yeah, it's quite enraging/disappointing.
I believe (but can't find confirmation) that they ended up making some positive changes after everything blew up (they paused their regular events for a bit when all of the info came out). Unfortunately, a lot of great people were pushed out or stepped away in response, and it showed in their most recent event. It didn't really have any of the unique feel/flavor which is what I loved about ESA.

I picked up the Pocket Taco, and, despite hating the name, I quite like the controller. I've been using it with Manic EMU (which I prefer over Delta) on my iPhone, and it's nice.
The shoulder buttons are a bit awkward to use, so I've been playing stuff that doesn't need them. Also, there might be the slightest bit of input lag because it uses Bluetooth, but I also might be making that up. It hasn't been enough to really bother me (if it exists at all).
