Stéphane Picq's soundtrack for "Lost Eden" is freaking awesome.

TIL that in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, as you level up the Skeleton Waiter soul, it throws out a progressively more sumptuous curry feast. Interestingly, the first level curry is clearly a Japanese style curry with a couple pixels of bright red pickled veg on the side, the second is a bit ambiguous, and the third is a south Indian style platter of different curries, chutneys, and some sort of bread (poori or naan, perhaps).
Sorry if reading this made you hungry!

So, I don't use this place as much as I probably should, my attention is split, but let me just give a mention to the game Chained Echoes, it's quickly become one of the best RPGs I've played lately, it's awesome.
But, the moment I knew this game was gonna be special? The song for the turtle race minigame.
@lowqualityfacts No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

Good morning, folks. Have a sysadmin tip:
When you ssh to a remote system, make it a habit to run either `screen` or `tmux` first. Always. Even for just a quick little command.
That way, when your crap ISP monopoly drops your connection for no reason whatsoever, your remote command won't be SIGHUP'd, & you can resume with `screen -r` or `tmux attach` when they decide your connection can be restored.

This is, hands down, one of the worst ways to run Photoshop: in a Mac emulator on an old Sun machine.

Went to a radar museum today and frankly, more systems should have dedicated buttons called "pigeons"

You can now download 6000+ Lego instruction manuals from the Internet Archive, from the old sets you remember as a kid to the newer massive Star Wars models and sets for adults. https://kottke.org/23/07/instruction-manuals-for-6000-lego-sets-courtesy-of-the-internet-archive
@GFD holy geez, i can imagine how a power-user would get a lot out of that but it looks like you're strapping a stealth bomber to your hand 😨

"Very broadly speaking, the video game industry has supported the idea of game preservation. But when it comes to copyright reform, consistently we’ve received pushback from the video game industry and its lobbying groups for even modest changes to copyright law to make it easier for libraries to do their jobs."

@GFD I wonder how many of those people play first-person shooters.
Y'know. There's a big, loud audience for people who customize keyboards. Tons of different switch types, hundreds of keycap color schemes and key profile shapes.
Why doesn't such a big, loud audience exist for mice? I'm so damn sick of buying a mouse every 2 years and having the buttons quit working or not feel right or whatever. Where are all the people who geek out about what kind of clicky switches they have and how their mouse wheel is an optical spinner from a Major Havoc arcade machine?

@glassbottommeg And at the game's climax you enlist the help of a wayward cougar to get a vintage 120mm gun working. The Meowitzer. 😸
@dec_hl This is really cool! I'd have to figure out how to set up a packet driver within Win98SE though, since I've been using a PCMCIA wireless card to connect to the internet, and it doesn't have DOS drivers. 😓
