I haven’t played many SNES games, but the ones I have have been pretty good. Fairly sure there’s quite a bit of stinkers in there too.
The worst kind of an Internet-herpaderp. Internet-urpo pahimmasta päästä.

while all of those qualities are great, they alone don’t make game great.
Dunno if it is good or bad, but Warframe has this loading screen where you see players’ ships and you can steer them a bit. No real point to it, but at least it’s something to do when waiting for someone to load in.
Got to play it with someone for a bit, they seemed to know where all the neat things were (iirc, the murals, scarf lengthening thingies, etc). But due to the inability to communicate more than just “dings” I couldn’t convey that I needed a quick toilet break. They were gone after I came back, which was a bit sad but I probably wouldn’t have stayed waiting either, tbh.
It was quite okay, I recall playing it through twice, but the second round didn’t really offer much in terms of “value” over the first. Cool visuals and concept, though.
Other somewhat similar vibing games which I somewhat relate to Journey:
good to hear. But, either way all my current stuff is on offline and none of my friends have the game, so moot point.
Last Epoch
playing offline because that’s where all my stuff is as last I checked the online was a disaster. Other than that, it’s pretty cool ARPG. Though I have some thoughts about some “gearcheck” -type bosses. After ~180h (since beta) or whatever, I’m still thinking it’s a solid 7/10. Fairly enjoyable, but not greatest of all time by any stretch.
Content Warning
It’s completely stupid and I love it. Essentially wannabe-“spööktubers” take a camera and few flashlights into dark, abandoned industrial complex to film something spooky, just to gain views on “Spööktube”. Views gain you money, money buys you gear.
The dives to the industrial complex are very short too, as you can only film so much (90s max, it seems), and the monsters are hella deadly. Either the camera gets filled or everyone is dead in minutes.
The footage can be saved as .webm -videos to desktop, which is GREAT
Under a steel sky
Is there a third game in the series I’m not aware of or did you mean Beneath a steel sky?
Ah, man of culture.
Omf2097 was the dopest thing ever to grace my 486 back in the day.
Battlegrounds later on tho… Yikes.
worked fine on my android phone, using Connect.
worked fine on firefox & linux, the file shows as .webp to me.
Decided to investigate this a bit: when opened to new window, the image url has ?format=webp
query argument, if I change that to ?format=jxl
then it breaks as the server actually provides a .jxl file. At least I had to TRY to break it :P

Its pretty close, but ideally I’d want to have it fit fin/swe layout without using modifiers to type ö and ä, and have them more or less where they’d be on normie layout. (I can live without å, so that already gives 1 key more leeway).
So far pretty much no ortho split allows this, I think. Unless I move enter key to the thumb keys or so. But then again that might be the default for eego/split keebs anyway, I dunno.
Going to have to read up on these a bit more.
oh wow. I have preonic, but I’ve more or less given up on learning to type with it. It’s way too narrow. I like the concept but a split ortho would be better, as I wouldn’t have to “hunch down” on it so much.
Fairly common to use en/us-layouts with highend mechanical keybards, as parts for those are more readily available.
But outside of the mech keebs or other niches, yea, people use the regional keyboard variants. Because it’s just easier if you can see the weirdo ümlâuts/etc regional characters on the keycaps when you’re not a touch typist. Over here (finland) it’s actually pretty hard to even get ansi/us layout keyboard unless you really go about your way and seek one out, basically all keyboards in stores are fin/swe iso layout. I’d assume the same is true to most euro countries.
probably true for ansi/english keyboards
for all/most (?) euro/iso keyboards altgr+4 for $. Shift+4 for ¤
but what about programmers with problems hearing? An alternative of webcam video with sign language, pantomime and subtitles is needed!
edit: OOH! Use AI to generate the sign language videos. Could be wild, considering how good AI is at drawing hands.
