Discarding translation, mirroring and inversion, there are only 900 4x4 fill patterns. #pico8

No Man's Sky UI
I really like how crafting in No Man's Sky happens by clicking on an empty slot. No extra screen or dedicated button, just click where you want the item you intend to craft!
REALLY wish that was also the case with recharging, repairs and the processor. With those, clicking on an empty slot lets you choose an item BUT you still gotta drag the item to the slot. Kind of a pain when you're playing with a trackball mouse.

I'm debating playing no man's sky on survival mode instead of normal

Any meaningful UX testing in 2023 needs to account for ad blockers and password managers.
If your site or app doesn’t work with popular ad blockers, or it refuses to allow logins pasted in from password managers, it’s broken.
Yes, some executive type will want to argue about this because they think ad blocking will go away or they misunderstood some now outdated infosec guidance. They’re wrong. Users use ad blockers and password managers and if your stuff doesn’t work with them, it’s broken.

Please, science writers, don't name your axis "cum hazard". Spell it out in full.
Hi sorry for the radio silence I've been immersed in No Man's Sky lol

Poll: Are you a macOS, MS-Windows or Linux or *BSD user? Please boost for reach. TIA.
So No Man's Sky is very much my jam
But I need better hardware to enjoy a better experience

"The hot news that nobody sane has been waiting for"--the Windows XP activation algorithm has been solved, meaning anyone can generate an authentic XP activation code. (I find it's a wonderful "sweet spot" resource for VMs, old enough to run most '90s apps and new enough for the GPU support to do it well.) https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/26/windows_xp_activation_cracked/

Finally finished the art for the next solitaire in my collection; it's themed around alchemy, and contains 10 suits with 26 cards each for a total of 260 cards (although 6 of those won't appear in the solitaire for reasons)

In case you still thought Jack was going to somehow be better than Musk:
I like how you can see parts of the map by interacting with the terminals at the start of each level, though I would've liked to be able to see the waypoints in my own map!
Also, I couldn't find a pause key in this game. The Esc key makes you quit to the main menu, instead (but it thankfully asks for confirmation if you haven't saved recently)
Marathon has this thing where you're meant to save human staff from alien invaders, but their AI makes them wander carelessly, so they end up walking in between you and the aliens during a shootout, or even walking towards the aliens (who then proceed to kill them).
