I've been playing Resonant (not on the Deck) and I have to say I prefer Control. Resonant isn't bad, the mechanics are fun but it's not a great sequel to Control. It just doesn't have the same feel Control does.

    Mid '90s, was doing something on the company's NT 4.0 PDC. The thing about NT 4.0, when the screen locked it would show the "Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to log in" screen, but if you hit a key or moved the mouse quick enough it wouldn't actually lock and wake up again. So, as I'm sitting there waiting for the server to do something the login screen shows up. I'm in the zone, so I lightning quick give it the three-finger salute, type in the password (usa1, security wasn't super-high) and hit enter. Another thing about NT 4.0, if you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del when the machine was not locked you'd get a box similar to XP's, with options to lock the computer, log off, shut down, etc. Now, you'll notice one of the options, shut down, starts with the letter "S". And the key to press to select that option is also "S". And you'll further notice that the password I typed in also has an "S". But all is good, it asks you to confirm before it actually shuts down, right? Except the shortcut to accept that option is Enter, which I hit after entering the password. So yeah, I shut down the company's PDC. Fortunately it was late in the day and most people had already left so the impact was minor. But I was doing some pants crapping for about five minutes while the machine came back up.
