Ok but elite:dangerous on VR with a HOTAS is pretty cool. As is the sculpting software that's out there.

Agreed. I have more hours in DCSS than any other game.
I don't think it's totally fair to call it ugly either. It's a masterpiece of efficiency. The ASCII looks messy to some people, but after a while you just see right through it; purple Y = catlobe gtfo etc. Plus the upside is that it's extremely clear at a glance what is going on because you don't have complicated sprites everywhere. And the handmade vaults that get rolled into the procgen are often really nice looking and give the world a lot of character.
Totally get it. My SD card got corrupted in a power outage almost a year ago and I never got around to reflashing it. To many other irons in the fire.
I must say, it was an impressively reliable setup, uptime was effectively limited by power outages. Their image is basically Raspbian which is basically debian, but I was still impressed that the service was so stable.
The only problem there is that the count also determines how federal money is distributed. Undocumented/illegal immigrants still use interstates and water mains and disaster money and national parks and federal buildings. Unless we want funding cut, we still have to count them.
*Edit: I'm embarrassed that I got all that written before 3/5 hit me. "The only problem" 😬
Oh shit, I never even thought about that. It's another level of insidious. 1. Be republican 2. Get a huge prison in your district "for the jobs", 3. Get more positions guaranteed to be republican, since the voters in your district still are. Would work for a democrat too, they don't care about criminal justice reform either :(
Might work slightly better for republicans because they can work the identity politics angle more easily.
If you have a little technical skill, you can set up your own raspberry pi ads-b receiver really easily. Just need the raspi, and SDR dongle, and an antenna. Floghtaware provides a flash image for the OS. If you feed them data, you get a free premium subscription. I used to use it to get alerts when the state patrol speed trap aircraft were taking off so I knew not to speed on a long interstate commute.
Yeeah. Not a kids movie at all. I watched it in college not knowing what I was getting into. Yeesh.
Do you know of anything like this for the switch? I'm a late comer to handhelds since I developed some shoulder problems and can't really PC game anymore.
I used to love a game called transcendence back when it was a free alpha. Top down, open world, semi-roguelike, big focus on combat with satisfying 2d physics and lots of ship customization. Less focus on trading and world interaction stuff.
I've looked at a couple you guys mentioned, but I'm really trying to find something that'll scratch that 2d space combat itch on a handheld.
Agree. Twist lock always feels easy to do and secure.
