😄 The phone call was just to get some simple bonus tips, nothing really necessary.
What killed me was, to swap items, you hold Select and use the arrow keys. It’s soooo unintuitive!

Today I learned! :)
I honestly don’t really use it, but I am excited about it in the future. :)
I installed it because of OSNews, my favorite tech news website. But the Gemini page seems to be down?

Yes! I use the Buran app (open source on Android) to browse it. :)
Ohhhhh I thought you meant the phrase was “growing up r*****”. Took me five minutes to figure out what you meant. It’s just the one word, not the whole phrase. 😆
For anyone else confused like me, it’s the pejorative word for a person with a mental disability.
Doom, or, gzdoom! You can use it to play the original Doom 1 and 2 games with modern mouse and keyboard controls on HD displays. And there’s an endless number of fan made level packs to try.
As for open source AND free / open resources, there’s Freedoom 1 and 2. I occasionally play them, they’re fun, but a little lacking in stage design.
YESSS.
Favorite character is Midna from Twilight Princess. Her design is just so weird but it works. She antagonistic towards the player but I can’t help but love her. Your friendship grows throughout the game until that one incredible shot together. And the surprise ending is both fun and tragic.
EDIT: this shot.

Favorite relationship is Marin from Link’s Awakening. She’s wonderful on her own, but then she shares so much about her life on the island and her dreams and grows even deeper as a character. I feel a stronger bond between her and Link than any incarnation of Zelda.
Thanks for following up! 🙂
That’s so cool! Kinda like when proud Americans sing Born in the USA not realizing the actual meaning.
Yes! I’ve played through all of the DLC many times. Here’s some details:
There’s “only” six new stages… but these stages are MASSIVE. It did not feel short to me.
When it was first released, the difficulty was insane. But the developers realized this and shortly released a patch to remove or tone down many of the ridiculous parts. For reference, I don’t consider myself a particularly good player (for example, I can’t do the quick swap move between two weapons) but I can beat the DLC on the hardest difficulty, Nightmare Mode.
The arenas / fights are the reason I play Doom Eternal, and the DLC gave me exactly what I wanted, more fights! Some of the fights feel like “throw more enemies at the player”, which is what I wanted. Some of the fights feel veeeery gimmicky, but even those grew on me. For example, a room where like 20 Pinky Demons spawn in. It’s surprisingly fun, challenging, and a nice change of pace.
There’s two new boss fights. The first one is VERY HARD, but I enjoy the concept. It’s very video gamey, and provides some clever new challenges. The second, final boss fight… I was dreading it on Nightmare, but not only was it not too challenging for me, I actually kind of enjoyed it! Many people whine about the final boss fight. To me, it seems obvious the developers were going for a “Super Marauder” type of fight. Like, the regular Marauder battles but MORE. I thought it was clever!
There’s new suit upgrades. I don’t really use them, but they’re fun to collect.
The one new weapon, the Hammer, is SO MUCH FUN.
The new enemies… I love to hate them. Once again, they’re pretty gimmicky, but I enjoy the new challenge. My biggest complaint is any enemies that make you wait to attack them. Like, I’ve got these amazing weapons but the game won’t let me use them on this enemy. 😒😒😒
I love the new music! I love the music in the main game too, but I find myself humming the music from the DLC more.
THE ENVIRONMENTS. So, I got the DLC on sale for $10 each, and I was worried about wasting my money. UNTIL I STARTED STAGE ONE, took one look (I hadn’t even moved yet) and immediately thought, this was worth it. Love the new stage themes / environments.
…I think that’s everything. Let me know if you have any more questions! Yes, the DLC was well worth it to me, and I still enjoy replaying it.
😄 Seriously, the difficulty settings in Doom Eternal are a masterclass example of how to do it right. And you can pause the game at any time and lower / raise it as needed, and it applies instantly!
Doom Eternal
I played on easy mode, over the course of months slogged my way through over half the game getting wrecked and HATING it. And then one day…
Everything clicked. I got into the Fun Zone or Flow State or whatever it’s called. And I have been obsessed ever since. I play at least a few minutes almost every night for years now. I can now comfortably beat it in the hardest difficulty, including the DLC. And it never stops being so much fun and satisfying!
Arthur Christmas (no, not THAT Arthur)
It’s a computer animated film from Aardman Animations, the studio that makes Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, etc. I watch it at least once a year, and every time I do I laugh hysterically, I cry, and I get wrapped up in the action. And, the story has four main characters with four really good arcs.
Holy cow you put a TON of effort into this! I actually JUST finished playing through DKC3 for the first time. It’s amazing how many non-fun stages there are right at the end.
The stage that I have the least fond memories of was climbing up a cliff side waterfall by jumping on top of floating barrels? Ugh, it took me FOREVER. XD
Does RSC have end to end encryption? Is it on by default?
I understand your point XD but want to emphasize, software is NOT like tangible items, and any analogy to them will fall flat.
Giving out the source code to an abandoned application does not mean the original owner doesn’t still have their copy.
By just dumping the code online, the software has the potential to be worked on by other people. This can benefit everyone, including the original developer.
Even so, there’s plenty of valid reasons to not do it. Licensing issues (did anyone else work on any part of the project using a different license?), pride (no longer being the “owner”), getting it online (choosing a license, getting it online, it all takes at least some time and effort), or just plain “I don’t want to” are all valid reasons.
I just did an Internet search. Today I learned. Still not sure I wish I did. 😶
Nokia N900, 2023 edition. 🥲
What a great article!!
So, I’m a huge Game Boy fan. I’d heard about how good Puyo Puyo is, so I got a Japanese copy of Puyo Puyo Tsu. From what I can tell it’s a great port. But I struggled so much getting into it! And then I read your comment…
…and I feel justified. 😅 What do you recommend is a good way for a new player to get into the game? Something to read, a video, or something else?
