Have used it for a while, it’s great. I don’t want sync between machines, so I just use it as a better local history. It works well, and switching scopes of history so easily is terrific. I do wish the querying / fuzzy matching was a little smarter, but I’ve not seen anything better.

I barely played the AC games as they came out, but recently decided to give Unity a try. It’s a really stunning presentation much of the time, but I find myself setting the game aside quite regularly as the quests / missions can be rather dull. I should perhaps try to do better at picking what to do in the game, as the immersion can be compelling.

I’ve had the typical disasters with partition tables and boot loader mixups, but the one I keep coming back to is updating my Nvidia drivers too eagerly. Whether something gets messed up with an external monitor, or the laptop starts resisting switching away from the integrated GPU, or an electron app I use regularly that makes heavy use of 3D acceleration breaks, or I just need to bump the driver version in a reproducible system state record… it’s just bad news.

My son and I are like 95% done the end-game content in the Super Mario RPG remake, only Culex 3D remains! It’s been a total blast. My biggest struggle is finding more games like this.

We’ve loved all the Paper Mario games we’ve been able to play (original, Super, TYD, and Origami King…. unless I’m forgetting one), but trying out miscellaneous JRPGs hasn’t had any success with him yet. He’s too young for a lot of games, but seeing things from that pre-tween point of view I also feel like we all could do with more games that aren’t fueled by adolescent angst or grim brooding. Bright, fun adventure on a foundation of silliness paired with great music is such a good recipe.
