That medal comes from a dishonored company, so it wouldn't count
My last play of it was a few years ago. The post felt just like the game, poetically empty, which fits well the idea of insignificance in an universe scale.
Imagine when you don't even live in a country that has any conventions
Looks like a good option, gonna give it a try
New tariffs USA arriving against those countries in 3, 2, 1...
Either that or several military threats.
The one I remember best is how I found out how to cheese Final Fantasy Tactics' battles for lots of xp. Not really "breaking enemy AI", but mechanic abuse, as the speed buildup meant the last enemy (which I would intentionally leave alive for as long as I needed) would only get its turn after each of my own dudes had like 3+
In many real time games, the easiest way is to abuse enemy pathfinding. My most recent case is with Palworld: most enemies just try to make a straight line towards you, build anything and they often won't be able to properly hit you. A lot of pal skills ignore ground and cover, tho, so there's that. This works better with human enemies.
A similar case of pathfinding abuse I often did was when I played Sea of Thieves. Get skellies to follow me, get back to my ship, blast them with a cannonball or snipe them. Easy. Too bad I always sucked at properly aiming and hitting other ships
Already got a bunch I bought mainly for playing on PC and Switch, a "G6 Wireless Controller" which, despite being cheap, works great.
I do have a wireless keyboard with a builtin trackpad, but what I want is to be able to just turn the little board on, connect the controller and get going
Bazzite is only for x86_64, orange pi has an ARM processor, RK3588S
It looks really nice, gonna give that one a try. Do you know how much RAM it takes while running?
I guess it depends on game. For steam, I understand that devs can use them to properly assess how many players actually get to play and where they give up on the game. Some games do get me to achievement hunt, but others I don't bother. Anything that involves multiplayer I ignore entirely. It's kinda funny that I only feel like I care about the achivs when I see my progress in the game - while playing, I'll hardly care.
As for retroachievements, I don't bother with them. I prefer playing those old games the same ways they were played back then, without hoping to get a badge that you did some specific thing.
Don't forget how we've been partying by getting absolutely smashed with a large variety of poisons for fucking millennia. We make alcohol out of plants, honey and even milk.

That sounds a bit too optmistic

What happens when I have a stupid idea, a mouse and MS Paint
(programming.dev)
As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".
In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy

TIL Dark Castle (1987) was one of the first computer games to use a WASD movement scheme
(programming.dev)
It's a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling "action" game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.

Ah, 1980s Brazil

Prophetic visions from Ultima VII
(programming.dev)
Elements of Ultima VII were inspired by game developer Origin Systems' conflicts with competitor (and later owner) Electronic Arts. Origin Systems' corporate slogan was "We Create Worlds", while the main antagonist of the story – the Guardian – is presented as a "Destroyer of Worlds". The three evil "Generators" created by the Guardian in the game take the physical shapes of the contemporary Electronic Arts logo: a cube, a sphere, and a tetrahedron. Elizabeth and Abraham, two apparently benevolent characters who later turn out to be murderers, have the initials "E" and "A".[10] Electronic Arts would acquire Origin later that same year, on September 25, 1992.
EA, destroyer of worlds since 1992

I've met my current girlfriend via bumble, back in early 2023. As a man, I was extremely annoyed at how many women would match with me and never send a message, felt like a full 2/3. Seems like half of them skipped the "you, woman, are supposed to start the conversation", never understanding why none of the men ever sent a hi
