Fantastic. Glad you’ve got it all sorted :)

I bet you’ve just got HDMI-CEC turned off in the Fire TV’s settings or something (i.e. you probably don’t even need an app).

What make and model TV do you have?

I turn the brightness on my phone as low as it goes, turn on night shift to get rid of blues, and read (white text on black background / dark mode).

Don’t read in continuous scroll; find a way to turn the page with minimum animation.

Read something you don’t find so compelling as to keep turning pages but enough that you’re happy to read.

I find history books most successful at the moment since there is often no desire by the author to build tension, suspense, etc that keeps you alert.

My guess it’s to test out what they’re building for TESVI by getting a smaller studio to test it out in something they’ve already got design docs and scripts for.

I’m sure Fallout London feel the same way too!

I completely agree with you! But I am worried they’ll get overshadowed by Bethesda/Microsoft’s marketing budget…

They’ve gotta push hard because the official Oblivion remake in Unreal is supposedly due out sometime in 2025.

Pallet Town

Patents published in 2022 showed Valve are definitely working on an untethered VR headset, new VR controllers, and a Steam Controller 2. Rumours are they went into mass production in Nov 2024 so we could be near an announcement in the next few months. Typical Valve style, however, is to announce it out of the blue.

But given the success of the Steam Deck, and the money they’ve funnelled into Arch Linux support for ARM processors, I’m pretty confident these aren’t just rumours.

Don’t worry, Valve will be blowing up shit next year.

What made it so special and unique? I missed out on it back in the day and it feels a little late to try and solo it (if that’s even possible).

Defederated

That blew my mind at the time. I replay it every few years and it still brings so much joy. If only they still made games like that!

Jak and Daxter was incredible. Still holds up to today, too.

You can also use something like MagicaVoxel to make blocky 3D models which people can learn to use a heck of a lot faster than Blender etc, especially if they have played Minecraft before.

Gerbilling / Gerbilled

Ah fuck, our server is getting Gerbilled by Lemmywinks.

I’ve literally tied myself over with several series of Sanderson’s while waiting for the final book in the Kingkiller Chronicle series.

I guess there’s always the reassurance that Sanderson will probably pick up any major series that needs finishing haha.

The stress of success, many eyes watching, and not publishing is less crushing than publishing a shit ending that ruins the trilogy and wipes out all interest in the first two books.
