Whew! I think I dodged the bullet. Upgraded today and it boots just fine. Running HAOS in a vm, so that might be the reason…

They are all really charming games. If you’re into cute things and some excellent humor, definitely play all of them. The first one is pretty grim actually and you need to move fast to finish the game without dying. The second one has some really tough caves, the third is just cute and has these great side missions that are worth the time. What I’ve been reading about the fourth episode it looks like it’s going to be the best of the bunch. They’ve been making the games better iteratively, and the idea is quite novel it’s worth to play them all if you like one of them.

I wish Miyamoto gets his success finally with the fourth episode, they are so adorable.

No, they don’t score. I just like their content in general, usually the first site I go for reviews.

I felt drawn to collect all the treasure in Pikmin 4 not just because I wanted to fill out one of my many checklists, but because I wanted to see the game’s reinterpretations of human objects, a catalog full of jokes but also deep appreciation. And in this way, Pikmin 4 accomplishes maybe the best thing a piece of media can do — it makes the real world seem more wondrous than it did before.

I’ve been using Plex and Plexamp for ages. I have about two terabytes of flacs in my NAS, and Plexamp seamlessly encodes it to 128 kbps Opus when listening on a mobile network, or streams the flac as-is if on Wi-Fi. It has a good recommendation engine and a very nice UI. Worth the money, if you ask me.

If you have the talent to run a server somewhere, do it for your friends and get people to the Lemmy ecosystem.
