I was going to recommend ISDN as well. Also Orblivion by The Orb. Both are desert island albums for me.

Win+V is one of the most powerful functionalities in any operating system IMHO. I use it every day.

In an upcoming Windows build the printscreen key will also invoke the screenshot tool by default, though you can revert it back to the old function if you prefer. Handy!

Absolute legend. She deserved full credit from the very start.

I was an original backer and I’ve dabbled on occasion but I’m waiting for more of a tutorial and better technical stability.

Diablo 3 is always online and lets you pause in all single player modes. Always online isn’t the issue - the issue is games that are multiplayer only, like Diablo 4.

Typing JOSHUA in Terminate, the dialup BBS terminal client, to unlock the war dialer. It let you sequentially dial every phone number in a range and would record each one that answered with a modem handshake.

Shotcut is quite powerful, fully featured, and absolutely free.

Microsoft’s new ClipChamp is more user friendly and the most basic version is free, with some limitations.

Hello! I’m a hobbyist/streaming DJ. I play many ravey genres including techno, house, breakbeats, oldskool rave, hardcore, hard trance, and more. I try to stream at least once per week. Nice to meet you! What do you play?

Star Control 2. 4 musicians contributed without collaborating directly, resulting in many creative alien races having unique and memorable theme music.

The haunted jazz aesthetic of the soundtrack is so enjoyable!

The Walking Dead series by Telltale Games ticks a lot of these boxes. You travel, fight, solve puzzles, manage relationships, and make meaningful choices. It’s got a lot in common with FTL even though it’s a completely different genre.

I used to make free open source music with MOD trackers. I’ve tried to figure out DAWs but find them confusing. I made a few songs with Bosca Ceoil which was a lot of fun.

Nowadays I put my creative energy into DJing. I’d love to produce again but honestly I’m just too tired.

These are really cool! Reminds me of circuit bending video art projects.

I tried playing NES ROMs on my old Nintendo DSi XL but the emulator runs the games a little too fast. SNES roms run okay but the aspect ratio isn’t quite right.

Surprisingly, my favourite emulator on this system is SCUMMVM. It’s so much fun playing old point and click adventure games with the stylus.

I enjoyed Tacoma very much. Fullbright always has such great writing, characters, and settings.

I loved this game! The humour was my favourite part - very dry and very British. A fun shooter with a lot of variety. Amazing soundtrack by Jeremy Soule. I found the game very difficult, though - I doubt I ever got close to finishing it. How about you?
