I’m not defending Nintendo, game pricing or whatever, but “begs the question why they’ll remain higher”? Really?

You can’t think of any reason why a physical product that has to be manufactured, shipped, unpacked, stocked, and sold by people would cost more than a download?

Game pricing has become obscene and there is no way on God’s great earth I’m dropping $80 on any game, but I think a $10 lower price point makes some sense. I’d love it to be more.

But I mean aren’t our favorite games naturally the ones that have most influenced us and our views on gaming?

I miss it so much. Last time I tried to fire it up again, it just wouldn’t even run under Windows. And I just haven’t ever found something that hits the same.

Ha. Heard. I mostly don’t want to carry another device when I travel for work, so will use my phone to read.

My Younger days:

• Legend of the Red Dragon
• Police Quest 1
• Anarchy Online
• Bard’s Tale (OG)
• Shadowgate
• Metroid
• Forgotten Worlds
• Super Mario World
• Paper Mario TTYD
• Guitar Hero
• Tony Hawk’s Underground
• Star Wars: KOTOR

More recently:

• Cave Noire
• AC: Odyssey
• Fallout 4
• Cloverpit
• Offline Games (Android)

Mostly tried to stick to a single release per platform for the earlier games. I’m sure I’ve missed some.

Newer games…I know the AC and Fallout titles aren’t most people’s favorites, but I love those worlds. Games are all about comfort for me.

I moved all my books out of Amazon last year and host them for my family with Calibre Web. Jailbroke my Kindle and use KOreader exclusively, so I use Sync so that if I need to read while I’m out, I can just pick up on my phone.

What’s the flow there? Receive link, copy, open MeTube, paste, download watch?

Tiktok and Instagram links are so frustrating when friends send them.

KOreader Sync if you use KOreader. Easily pick up where you leave off on other devices!

I also run Wiki.js to (inconsistently) document what I’m doing with my apps and server.
