I’m a fan of card games like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, and Monster Train run on practically anything. There’s hundreds of hours of fun in there if you’re into these games.

Brent’s desk is actually the microservice holding everything together. Don’t shake the cables when you sit down or you’ll risk crashing the whole website.
This is the stuff that makes me really excited for AI. Sure, having a personal assistant is nice. Generating images and music is also very cool. Optimizing software and hardware though, this is where things get amazing.
Modern software is pretty abysmal when you think about it. In the last 20 years we’ve focused more on making things faster rather than making more optimized things. We ended up with ultra bloated operating systems, regularly 100mb+ apps, RAM sucking programs like web browsers and background apps that make even 8 gigabytes of RAM not enough, and so on.
I’m waiting for a point where AI can start optimizing legacy code and say “Wait, this is really dumb and wastes so much energy”. Imagine Windows running on only 100mb of ram. Imagine apps and websites being 10x more efficient than they are now. It’s not that crazy of a concept, only a matter of time.
The original Doom for sure. I don’t know if they count as mods since they’re technically running on a modified version of the engine, but there is still a massive community making maps, mods, and even new game modes for it. Most recently the “MyHouse.wad” map for it has exploded in popularity. I’ve had so much fun over the years with doom mods, it’s a treasure trove that most people have no idea exists.
There’s even entire new games built on Doom. Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (stupid name, I know) is a fantastic free open source karting game with a decent community, and it’s technically just a doom mod.
If anyone here is going to play a single doom mod to see what’s up, I recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered. It’s good fun.
I haven’t played Deep Sky Derelicts but One Step From Eden is a good time. It’s much more of an action game than a card game though, and very fast paced.
