This hasn’t been true for years, see the relevent Arch wiki page for example.

Finally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.

I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won’t have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.

I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn’t end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.

To be fair I wouldn’t want a Firefox monoculture either. I would like more usable open source browser engines not fewer. The problem with Chrome/Chromium is not that it exists but the way it is tangled up with monopolistic interests. Healthy competition and more user choice please.

Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It’s not really my jam but it’s the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.

The Internet was already a teenager by then. It hooked up with Hypertext and the result was this brat called WWW.

My first WWW experience was trying Mosaic on a computer without an Internet connection. I knew what the Internet was, we had access through an X.25 PAD (kind of like a dial-up shell session, no direct TCP/IP) so I’d already used IRC, Usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher etc. I also knew what hypertext was from various local help and document browser programs. So I figured out that Mosaic can display HTML documents but of course without Internet connectivity just showing some local demo pages didn’t seem all that special. But I figured it out later on…

A nice aspect of survivor games on the deck is that you can play them single handed (for the most part). I like to clone the left stick onto the right one so I can play with either hand.

Brotato is my current pick for this.

I haven’t played the game yet but I am very curious what about it might have this effect. Is it story related or some gameplay element?

I don’t mind spoilers but maybe mark it up as such if needed in case others do.

One reason I like RSS is that it’s so easy to fold it into my email workflow using rss2email or similar tools. It continues to work as it did when I set it up 2013, it only changes when I change it.

That’s EXWM which has been around for a while, I’ve been using it since 2016.

I like my 8bitdo controller but I have an older model so can’t speak for the more recent ones.

On PC and Steamdeck Binding of Isaac and Brotato mostly, my most played comfort games. Looking to get started with Lonestar soon.

On mobile I got back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I’ve been paying classic roguelikes for a very long time. Never gotten very good at them but I still enjoy every run and inevitable death.

Mesa 25.0.0 Release Notes / 2025-02-19

[ 5067.696] (II) Applying OutputClass “AMDgpu” to /dev/dri/card1

Make sure that you actually have permission to that /dev/dri/card1 device. This may be arranged by udev or “video” group membership.

Regarding AMD vs Nvidia, unless you need CUDA you probably made the right choice. This sounds like a config issue and you’d probably be dealing with the same thing with Nvidia too.

I don’t know about most beautiful but Dale of Merchants and Ascension have some of my favorite card art. I also like Mottainai for it’s aesthetic simplicity.

Hm, yeah I can’t think of any from the top of my head. I guess the site’s format works best for euros and the audience seems to be geared towards that too.

Make sure to check out Yucata.de too. They have about 200 games with some overlaps with BGA. The site UI takes some getting used to and matchmaking is not as well featured as BGA’s but the in-game UI is actually very nice once you grok it and it has an excellent undo/replay/log system.

Some of my Yucata favorites:

• Bonfire
• Carpe Diem
• Cartographers (also on BGA)
• Fields of Arle
• Grand Austria Hotel
• Lorenzo Il Magnifico
• Mottainai
• Mountain Goats (also on BGA)
• Mystic Vale
• Newton
• Rajas of the Ganges
• Rajas Dice
• Red Cathedral
• Renature
• Taverns of Tiefenthal

And I am currently practicing Skymines.

In general, no the site is not open source. There are however some games whose implementation is public under various licenses. A few examples:
