Inzoi turned out to be boring as sin so I’m pretty hopeful for this one.

I heard of this game a few years ago but it’s really cool, feels like one of those early gaming experiments that no major company will ever try today.

Yup! You can switch the throwing arm in BTD6 to curve it the opposite way.

Alright here’s what you’re gonna do. You’ll take that tack shooter and put it in the top right corner, and instead replace it with a boomerang monkey and switch its throwing arm. Set its target to the farthest bloon. It’ll keep shooting in the top right corner and take out the whole curve. You’ll want to upgrade it to ricochet in the future.

I played this game too much. Help.

• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

• Mother 3 (English patch)

• Chrono Trigger

• Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga

• Colin Mcrae Rally 2

• Final Fantasy VI (or Final Fantasy III in the US)

• Apotris (this one is a Tetris homebrew that looks and runs great)

These all feel very modern for their time, and don’t come with the hassle of being overly vague or forcing you to grind.

An iPad Air costs the same but comes with a much better M4 processor.

Sure, but a tablet isn’t a laptop.

Honestly I’m expecting this to take up most of the mid-range laptop market. 8gb RAM and only 256GB storage is lame, but the rest of it probably makes it really good value (especially with components getting more expensive recently).

Unless you’re buying used or refurbished, most laptops I found at ~$600 or less kinda suck. Either it has terrible specs, or uses cheap plastic, or has a terrible screen, etc.

I don’t like Apple, but hopefully this is a wake-up call for other vendors. Lower end laptops should stop being cheap garbage.

Matrix is lacking all sorts of features and proper UX. I used it through multiple front-ends and every time it’s just not good enough yet.

A nothingburger apology that follows the same patterns every company does

1. Introduce outrageous thing

2. Apologize

3. delay outrageous thing by a few months and hope people forgot about it, then do it again

Teamspeak requires you to pay for a license to host a community of greater than 32 people though. I have much more faith in Fluxer, which just came out recently and has its servers getting hammered right now. It will have true self-hosting and federation. Also it looks exactly like Discord which probably makes moving to it easier.

I hate to break it to you but… It’s been over 20 years. It’s more retro now than the SNES was when the 360 came out.
