Mario Kart was by far the best. The ability to play coop with only one of you having the game is something all game companies should do.

I believe that the languages and packages used by kids in school do a lot of the heavy lifting for them. Whereas the Basic or old C that you'd use for the ZX Spectrum would be very bare bones with you having to do a lot of work for yourself. Plus, I imagine that as code development has moved on a lot since then that a lot of the features you'd expect to have available as a modern developer would be missing. I can't imagine that it'd be too easy to develop a game for.
That sounds awesome. I'll definitely add it to my, far too long, reading list.
Great book. I do love the world he creates, it still holds up even now. His other books are just as good. I wish there were more cyberpunk books, I do love that genre.
Witcher 3 is, for me, the best single player game I've every played. Though Ocarina of Time comes a close second - and I never even played it on release only years later when I bought an N64 at uni.
For multiplayer, however, you can't beat Halo with a load of mates round and a crate of beer.
I just finished Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It's an autobiographical piece from the Author of Little Prince about his days flying between the wars.

I'm just about to move onto Femina by Janina Remirez. Which is a history of the world told through the eyes of the deliberately women left out of it. I'm looking forward to it, it sounds excellent. Filling a much needed gap in the popular understanding of women's role in history.
I always used to use Hangouts as my default chat app for friends. We had a big DnD group chat on it. But we migrated to WhatsApp when Google said they were going to kill hangouts and never looked back.
Why would I trust Google with my chats when they constantly abandon/kill off their best tools. We've now moved to Signal and I'm expecting to stay there for a long time.
It seems to be working now.
When I search for @lemmy.link in magazines they all appear now, whereas before they didn't.
I'm on kbin.social and it doesn't seem to working here even with the @.
Maybe lemmy.link hasn't been federated with kbin yet? Not sure exactly how it all works as I'm still pretty new.
I quite liked the rest of the Furies series. Didn't you enjoy them?
