Spelunky, for co-op. I definitely prefer the first game for solo but it only has local co-op. Spelunky 2 has both local and network play but the difference between having a single camera follow the one flag carrier and everybody having their own screens is like playing a different game. Single screen is total mayhem.

Interestingly they seem to have migrated the old votes to this. First I thought the writer had sneakily linked to the Dreamlist so that everybody would automatically vote for NOLF.

Yours is the correct interpretation.

Judging by Shorts, somebody’s been posting them for a long time. Such inanity.

The Secret of Evermore hack enabling a second player to control the dog is quite formidable, if a tad glitchy at times. It elevates a somewhat forgettable single player jRPG to a fun co-op pastime.

It’s a nice, cheap, easy and legal way of obtaining the ROMs to play on flash carts, emulators and FPGA systems.

Well this is a unique take. But don’t worry, there’s a Firefox for you, too. Try the ESR, or Extended Support Release, it

receives major updates on average every 52 weeks with minor updates such as crash fixes, security fixes and policy updates as needed, but at least every four weeks.

From personal experience, 11 can’t do vertical taskbars and the hack that restores 10’s taskbar isn’t entirely bug-free and can be shut down on a whim by MS with an update removing the functionality.

From what I’ve read, 11 is a privacy nightmare with Recall and the ever-worsening insistence on having a fucking MS account to log in to your PC locally. Sorry I meant your self-serve surveilance and ad-targeting appliance.

Having to fight the anti-features and dumbing down of a piece of hardware you supposedly own to keep it usable and useful to you, not the mothership, with hacks of varying reliability… What part of that sounds like something you would want to spend any of your money or time on?

My first contribution to a complex system was fixing a comment calling an email BCC field CC.

The hopelessness.

I thought it wouldn’t work and kept the old mouse on standby on my desk for gaming but after a little while it was left gathering dust. It works surprisingly well and finally trained me to use the thumb buttons as the MX Vertical lacks a rocking wheel for back/forward.

Ahhhh
