Playing with GNU Guile, working my way through SICP. It's like learning how to program after years of doing everything completely wrong.

No time to play games, I've been busy backing up my music from Google Play Music, which is being phased out by September.
I have caught a bit of a fright now, so I'm seriously wondering if there's a good way to back up my Steam library.

All I want from a keyboard is 1: Dvorak layout, and 2: the ability to hit Ctrl+Y with one hand sans use of my thumb.

Quoting: LinasTo be honest, it has always escaped me how games in e.g. Russia cost like 10% of what we pay in the EU. I mean, I do get that purchasing power and salaries are very different, but we are talking about digital goods. It takes whatever amount of money it takes to make a game, in whatever country is was made. It's not like the prices in Russia are lower because it is somehow cheaper to distribute them in Russia. Somehow feels arbitrary and fake in the global economy.

Well, you sell people things at the price at which they'll buy it, not at the price that's fair.

that's not much when split between a few developers

90,000 Euros is not much when split between a few devs? You could hire 30 devs off that. Maybe 20 after taxes, but still.

Owner of a pair of Tuxedo machines, I have to say they really deliver quality stuff. With exception for the CMOS battery going the laptop I bought with them has had no issues the past 6 years.

Hang on, why do you have the URL for the game on Steam included but not for Itch? Itch is a much better store as it allows you to tip the developer.

Quoting: tmtvlChrono Trigger on the SNES. Still one of the best, if not simply THE best jRPG around. I like the PSX version as well with the Toyama cutscenes, but unfortunately it's not quite as nicely optimized.

You're so right ! It's one of my favourite, close second to Xenogears, you should give it a try you hadn't already.

Yeah, Xenogears is great. It kind of reminds me of Legend of Legaia, but with better (as in, sprites rather than PSX 3D models) graphics and even moodier storytelling.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI feel like they are a little disconnected from the market, from what I've seen the market wants a strong AMD gpu laptop device.

Not with the FLOSS drivers it doesn't. I've got an AMD laptop and without binary blobs it freezes at the TTY. With binary blobs it runs fine, but that ain't Purism's doghouse.
