The Light Keeps Us Safe, initial impressions 

Things that feel Early-access-y:

It has dialogue, but it doesn't have subtitles.

The main menu and loading screens have text at the bottom of the screen telling you what version number it is.

There's a mechanic for scanning your environment for reasources. Pressing the key doesn't do anything that visually looks like a scan - floating icons that represent where resources are just appear.

The health and food bar look like placeholders.

The Light Keeps Us Safe, initial impressions 

• The game has an amazing atmosphere
• It's very tense (it's so tense I had to stop playing after only 20 minutes or so, but that's probably exasperated by my current sitch)
• It's very pretty
• Despite coming out of early access.... it feels like it's still an early access game - the last few touches that are needed just aren't there. (cont)

This is Fork Mask.

He wears a big fork as a mask, his head is a pincushion packed with forks, and he carries a large combat fork as a staff that can fire fork missiles.

@DialMforMara I've been playing through it again on my phone, and... I don't think it's worth it.

fun with linux 

Amazing.

I have the Zoom client installed on my computer (the only things I use it for don't need encryption). And every time I leave the computer for any length of time, when I come back, the Zoom client has started on its own.

It's not a specific interval. It's not a specific time. It just seems to be any time I'm away from the computer for more than 15 minutes; when I wake the computer back up, Zoom's sitting there, waiting.

I check running daemons, I poke at background tasks - nothing.
Finally, it occurs to me: "when I wake the computer up". So on a hunch, I check xscreensaver - which has an oooold screensaver called "zoom". I don't have that screensaver installed, but it's listed in the possible screensavers, so xscreensaver checks for it - and it doesn't just check the screensavers directory, it checks $PATH too.

I remove the "zoom" line from ~/.xscreensaver - and the problem goes away.

I found this pun I made a while ago again. 

The quest for the holy grail? Oh, you mean the travelling grailsman problem.

Epic Games Store and money 

@DaisyHead they don't have a cart system, which is inherently frustrating, but I don't think that affects me if I'm just making one purchase.

I hadn't heard about the security problems though, thanks for letting me know
