  • What I like about it is that I don’t need to delve into second hand shopping to get some old classic games.

    I’ve always wanted to get into getting retro games, and I would get different consoles, but as a matter of money and space I’ve found it difficult unless I get into only one system, and I find the evercade as a compromise for getting a variety of collections from different systems.

    Of course, emulating ROMs would give almost the same experience, but the physical releases with their little manual got me.






  • Curiosity. It began while trying to play around with programming, and finding a lot of talk and resources about Linux, and then trying it. 3 broken Debian installations just for messing around, then Ubuntu as a more permanent install, all of this alongside Windows.

    Then I began using less and less Windows until I just deleted the Windows partition because I needed more space.


  • The behaviour you mention is from npm install, which will put the same exact version from the package-lock.json, if present. If not it will act as an npm update.

    npm update will always update, and rewrite the package-lock.json file with the latest version available that complies with the restrictions defined on the package.json.

    I may be wrong but, I think the difference may be that python only has the behaviour that package-lock.json offer, but not the package.json, which allows the developer to put constraints on which is the max/min version allowed to install.


  • Dead Cells is a game I always have installed just to pick it up in bursts of 30 minutes or an hour.

    It’s a roguelike, it’s challenging and it’s easy to pick up any time.

    Even though it has levels, the intended way to play it is in runs. You start the game, start a new run, and try to go as far as you can, you die and repeat.

    Multiple paths to choose, so it never becomes boring, and the levels are generated, so you can’t memorize everything.

    Mascarade, a board game. It’s a game of hidden indentities, where everyone can lie to try to get all the money and win the game. I’ve had A LOT of fun playing with as much as 10 people. The game can be played between 2 and 13 players, but less than 4 I think it’s not that worth.




  • The controls has been modernized, it feels like a game that launched this year, but everything else is completely faithful to the original. I’ve only tried the original briefly, but I’ve red from people who played both that you could basically follow a guide from 1994 and still be able to get through the remake.

    Aside from that, they added a scrap system which you can collect junk, destroy it, and recycle it for coins which can be spent on weapon upgrades. I think that’s the only major addition in the gameplay itself, and it’s something that was already in a similar way for System Shock 2 with the nanites.
