Recommend me your favorite linear games!
  • Arcadium 1 is about as linear as it gets. Its kind of like that game Aero Fighter from the 90s, mixed with Space Invaders. Just shoot the aliens and dodge their shots. On the way, there are gems and power ups that can make your future forays more rewarding.

    This is a mobile game -- it's available on iOS and Android.

    What can I do with my super old laptop?
  • It could be a music server with mpd -- then you could configure it to stream over http to other devices. Or you could configure it as a client for a music server you keep somewhere else.

    Muslims Were Reliably Democratic Voters. With US Gaza Policy, That’s Changed.
  • Yes, anyone who disagrees with you politically must be a Russian troll. I can't imagine why genocide would push someone do do something as extreme as vote green.

    Nearly 3 in 5 incorrectly believe US is in economic recession
  • Everyone feels like the economy sucks. But stock buybacks and ai have been great for the 1% who have the means to manipulate the stock market. Everyone else should just buy less avocado toast or something, I guess.

    U.S. Democracy Hangs on Two Men’s Egos
  • Biden's horrible handling of the genocide will be his undoing. If I had to bet, I'd bet on Trump, because this country is too god damned brainwashed to vote, as I will, for De La Cruz.

    how's your week going, Beehaw
  • My back pain is returning. It woke me up at 5am, so I'm having an early day today. On the plus side, that meant a nice sunrise breakfast with the wifey. Overall I feel like I have a lot to be thankful for, but the state of the world and especially the thought of election day 2024 makes me feel uneasy. I try not to think about it.
