The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It's a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.

Another detective game from 2022 I loved that's similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening...

Both under 8 hours to complete.

He's already said he's retiring about three times. Then finds something he likes the look of and he's back. I mean, if he says it after every film, he might eventually be right!

Is 16GB RAM "plenty?" I'm not so sure. It depends on what kind of development you're doing, what you're running locally, etc. My work laptop has 16 gigs hard capped, and I always wish I had more headroom. Obviously, budget matters, so that's a call for you to make, but 16 gigs is probably the smallest amount to call "enough" these days.

(Of course, it's also extremely easy to expand if you find you need more, so...)

I had no idea about that at all - very clever!

The way you've shared a link to the settings is really cool - how did you do that? Manually create the links? Or something simpler?

Oh, it's not even not-a-joke in the way I thought. 🤣 Don't mind me, I'll just turn and face the wall for a bit...

Edit: OK, that's a great gif!

I initially thought this was a gag on how people having their photo taken back the had to sit still for a long time...

But no, just jpg...

I love this film, have watched it numerous times.

The song For A Friend by The Communards that plays over the closing credits was written for Mark Ashton (played in the film by Ben Schnetzer), and it's a sad, poignant and beautiful song.

The Curse of the Golden Idol is a detective-puzzle game that is easily played one handed, is cheap, and is great.

Invisible Inc is like a stealthy XCOM (which I see on your profile), and again, easily played one handed.

Only Americans ever think these are the right tool for the job. If you guys want to keep your trucks that kill people at an incredibly outsized rate, fire away. But they are a plague that most Europeans rightly want to keep out.

It's a really fun audiobook, if that's your thing!

I started the Irish flag that ended up running to intersect the Enterprise. I would never have had it erase the 1701, and tried to move the flag up!

Still, I did learn about this place on the back of it.... Happy to be aboard!
