One thing I haven't seen mentioned: its heavy!I use it sometime to tenderize chicken breast before a deep fry.

But it's also one of the few VR game that made me seasick despite me having good VR legs (there's this ninja game where you do slides and somersault ; no problem for me). It's probably the uncontrolled relative movement of the big celestial bodies that triggers it. I remember being equally in awe and being sick being on the hourglass twin and see the sun moving.

One thing that neat with Isaac (and definitely help with my playtime stats) is that it's a good game to play along some podcast or YouTube video.
The item description mod or similar (does platinum god still exists?) is (was?) a must have though.

Comment on Your URL bar can be a CLI for searching websites in ~tech

On a more practical sense I like the suggestion on the location bar to be only history while the one in the seach bar to be autocomplete.Yes, but I didn't said it made sense for other people !

UI-wise I lament that everything is shoved into a unique bar. I stubbornly refuse to fuse them because in my mind location bar == past and present (where I am, where I was) while search bar is where I want to go.
Two eternities ago there was quite some activity around the idea of CLI-ing the Web browser. Anyone remember Firefox Ubiquity? It was kind of Quicksilver (the OSX launcher) but for the Web. Maybe with the current AI frenzy the idea of having small tools that you can call will come back.

PetitPrince LinkThe scope seems enormous (even bigger than Yakuza 5), I wonder how the usual RGG modus operandi (reuse assets as much as possible) will turn out at the end.The scope seems enormous (even bigger than Yakuza 5), I wonder how the usual RGG modus operandi (reuse assets as much as possible) will turn out at the end.

Separate joycon is still one of the most comfortable controller setup I know (I have small hands). Hard to slump like Koizumi with a regular gamepad. I'd very like to test the Steam Frame controllers. Maybe it'll end up being super comfortable ?

Comment on Anyone else a bit unnerved by the number of visible satellites? in ~space

Yup, but sometimes you get the angle juuuust right with their body and/or solar panels to reflect the sun.
If you find a star that doesn't blink, isn't colored (like a plane) and that's visible more than 1 sec (like a shooting star), then it's a satellite.

There's less hand movement going back and forth from pointing to typing. And thus an external trackpoint feels a bit meh to me. It's probably better to have another pointing device (trackball?).

It's basically a C-shaped thingy, so nothing interesting to look at.
Most useful but we don't need it anymore : ergonomic bag holder that we used for trash bag (those strings kinda hurts when the bag is heavy).
Useful and glad we have it: a box that holds the insert for our kitchen mandoline
Most designed : For a larp, I've modded an ikea candle lantern so that it include an programmable RGB ring led (so whatever object is in place of the candle have a magical glow on it). As such I've designed foot extension for the lantern that house the rest of the electronics (an esp32 and a 3x AA holder) with a magnetic door. In action it looks like this

Little post to express my admiration on the spritework. It's gorgeous! I think that for a time the GBA (and later on the DS) was the last bastion of quality sprite, until indie game made pixel art cool again.
