Thx! I'll try a couple :) Note that a few you recommended are already in the list or in other sub-lists, you might have missed them if you only reviewed the "for non-gamers" sub-list that I linked to. For the full smorgasbord

Thx :) . I found out about Slipways via Jonathan Blow (maker of The Witness), who was obsessed about it for a while and played it a lot on stream. I like that kind of smaller games you can summarize with "<genre>, distilled&quot

Outer Wilds DLC is also amazing yeah :)))) . They managed to keep surprising the player with hidden-in-plain-sight stuff. Also, the soundtrack is a-ma-zing, https://andrewprahlow.bandcamp.com/album/outer-wilds-echoes-..

Hola! I thought that Baba is Lovely at first, but then come the later levels and alas, Baba is Too Much. (With the usual qualifier: for me ! I don't doubt many puzzle freaks absolutely loved it and 100%ed it, but for me it was too mu

Thanks! Sennaar didn't gel with me, because language-based deduction imply an "arbitrariness" ("wobbliness"?) and mis-interpretations. To me, this felt frustrating compared to the sharpness of an Obra Dinn deduction

Hey didn't realize I was answering to a contributor! So, I started creating an issue in the repo, and as I was creating a side-by-side-by-side comparison of A=orig, B=guetzli, C=jpegli ... I realize that wait-a-minute, Jpegli is actual

That's my experience, yes. Just tested it on a 750kB 1080p image with detailed areas and areas with gradients. Highly unscientific, N=1 results: - Guetzli at q=84 (the minimum allowed by Guetzli) takes 47s and produces a 403kB image. -

In Arch it's packaged in libjxl as /usr/bin/{c,d}jpegli . See https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libjxl/ , section "Package Contents" at the bottom.

There's a talk that I enjoy a lot about this "multiple places for settings" problem. About how lots of software end up resembling 1. The maker's org chart (Conway's law) ... 2. ... multiplied by time Casey Muratori

Indeed, 100%. I learned to never do such things, and would rather not have a rule than have a brittle one. This explains that my experience differs from OP's.

by ronjouch 3y ago
Sure. I prefer to minimize depending on more extensions (for futureproof-ness, performance, security). These days, { uBlock Origin, Vimium } is all I need :)

Not OP, but here's a screenshot illustrating what I personally typically do on sites I use a lot: hide things, make things low opacity until hovered, add a dark mode if missing. https://imgur.com/a/tCFkVzK EDIT

by ronjouch 3y ago
Thanks! I do this all the time too :) . Makes for a more pleasant / less cluttered experience on sites I use a lot. I'll add that another thing that is pretty easy to do is to add a Dark Mode to websites that don't have one.
