Ultimate Chicken Horse has quickly become the goto-local-multiplayer in my group.

The game design is so devilishly elegant: you co-create 2D jump&run levels. Together you want to make them so easy that at least one player can finish the level (and get points), but also hard enough that not all of the group get through (no one gets points).

It’s great. Will most likely be on sale. Don’t sleep on it!

Ich mochte „Let’s burn that bridge when we get there“. Funktioniert auch nur auf Englisch meiner Meinung nach, wegen der Redensartvermuddelung.

To get you started on your self-curated list of feeds, you could have a look at https://ooh.directory/

I think it’s neat to not only have the big and obvious sites in your feedreader that push dozens of items per day, but also some assorted small and cozy blogs that tickle your interests.

May I throw „Cassette Beasts“ in the mix? Is it premium as in the seventh installment of a series that lost its soul with the second release? As in costs 60+€ and is a collectathon with no heart? No. Not premium.

But it has

  • tons of replayability. Gotta catch them all.
  • an intriguing story that is surprisingly mature for a pokeyman game
  • fan-tas-tic soundtrack

Also lots of stuff to find and discover. Also also does not break the bank. Also also also does not eat the SteamDecks battery for lunch, because it’s only 2D. And finally, for us old people, the combat is turn based. You will not fail because of lacking reflexes.

Hm. Installing a separate OS is not exactly painless, is it? I mean, I did the same, but just because you could use a pogo stick to get from a to b doesn’t make it a proper form of transportation.

And the whole Apple silicone story makes this point moot anyway. I am very happy that the toolkit exists. Hopefully we see a healthy and easier to use open source tool chain soon (think Lutris like tools) and more native ports down the line.

I 100% agree with every point you made. And no, I do not want that, at all.

I still think it will play out like this though. Just because the network effect, speed of iNnoVaTIve feature development and marketing combined will favor Meta - a combination of "Why can't mlem app do X?", "All your friends are here" and banner ads on Insta. The "OG Fediverse" will still exist, maybe even grow - but federation as a new architecture for all Social Media will be off the table.
