Dear Red Hat: Are you dumb? | Jeff Geerling
  • My immediate response to seeing the announcement was to contact all the IT at where I work and start pushing hard to move from RHEL and RHEL-alikes to Debian where we can and they agreed, so...

  • What are your favourite classic game soundtracks?
  • I'm fond of the soundtrack of (Jim Power in Mutant Planet for Amiga)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiUaz0ZLbgY] by Chris Huelsbeck. It's not even a game I've ever played or particularly feel the urge to, it's just a really good synth rock soundtrack. Also going to bring up the (PC Engine CD version's arrangement)[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U55EvWFkHKs] of the same music which is also good.

  • Does anyone remember the Neo-Geo?
  • Haven't played it really until recently, but got into the Metal Slug games in emulation and had a wonderful time. Great series of shoot-em-ups with fun visual designs and a looser feel than the Contra games that makes them feel less intimidating (even if I still have to continue a lot.) 3 especially is fantastic.

    From there tried out Neo Turf Masters as the other game by Nazca and it clicked in a way golf games haven't for me in the past and played it for hours on end. Extremely intuitive, pick up and play, and actually good at communicating which clubs to use for what in a way I haven't seen before.

  • Penny's Big Breakaway - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch
  • Was not expecting a 3D platformer when I heard it was from them but that's got me really curious. Will have to check it out.

  • WarioWare: Move It! - Nintendo Direct 6.21.2023
  • Gonna admit, given how much Nintendo hasn't really taken advantage of all the moment functions of the joycons in the weird ways they did with earlier systems and the traditional input only previous WarioWare game, this genuinely catches me off guard (in a good way.)
