I can’t read this but what a great album.

I struggled with this. All I wanted was an eight inch tablet with a stylus. I eventually settled on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5, which I managed to source from my cell carrier. It’s rugged, meaning it’s approaching 9 inches with the thick bezel. Not one of my desired features, but I have small children so this is still a plus. All the pictures on the Samsung website are dudes wearing hard hats and reflective vests, and you can buy a rack for charging five of them at once, that’s how aimed at construction workers it is. Also it has a push-to-talk key which I’ve bound to turning pages instead. Anyway, it fits in my (admittedly very large) pocket and I use it everyday. Oh, and you can easily replace the battery (if you don’t live in Canada) but battery life isn’t great. Performance is great though.

I just stopped using Connect to Windows to test out Sefirah. I haven’t used it enough to form an opinion on it, but it’s open source.

I don’t recall trying to turn anything into an argument. I just wanted to know why Steam. Don’t get me wrong, Steam is good but I don’t have any particular allegiance to it. I agree that it’s frustrating that Catherine Full Body is console locked but Catherine isn’t.

I don’t currently need any games ported to Steam. Why do you? What’s so special about Steam? Or is this just shorthand (longhand) for “on PC”?

Can confirm it was a bit rough scrolling this in Boost, but interesting nonetheless. I feel like I remember Croc, but not very well.

A fascinating read. It inspired me to look further into the StarCraft voice integration. Other games have tried it, using voice commands to direct computer companions as an additional layer of realism. But I’m not aware of any game that’s done it well. Might be nice for applications like picking from a long list, sometimes “build unit X” is way faster than paging through buttons, but again we have keyboard shortcuts for that. Keyboard shortcuts wouldn’t work for dynamic menus though, and voice commands do.

Sorry for the stream of consciousness.

Good enough for me. I’ve installed it to my phone and I’ll probably never play it or think about it again, but there’s a chance I’ll give it a try someday!
