I have little sympathy for people like the author who knowing all this continue to give content to that site. And I don’t care about their excuses.
If you don’t like that the new owner has turned your favorite pub into a nazi bar then maybe you should stop spending your money there.
I’ve been using NetGuard for many years to block net access for apps that shouldn’t need it. I haven’t noticed any impact on battery life and haven’t run into issues other than what one might expect (for example when it turns out that the blocked app refuses to run without network access)
Didn’t know about RethinkDNS, looks neat, will give it a try sometime.
For what its worth hardened wouldn’t have saved you from the recent openssh RCE. It may or may not save you from the next one.
Staying on top of GLSAs and making sure that you don’t misconfigure your system is probably more important.
newpipe can play offline files I’m pretty sure
Don’t think that this is true (unless we are talking about a fork that I am not familiar with). The FAQ has an entry on this and mentions that you need to use an external player. I use mpv and VLC.
Not a huge fan of inserts and I end up tossing them more often than not but the basic Res Aracana insert is one that I find exemplary. It doesn’t make the box larger than it needs to be, it has room for both expansions and most importantly it serves as an ergonomic storage tray during the game.
I’ve seen third party inserts that looked tempting but they were too expensive and organized things differently from the way I liked. In particular I like to bag together everything that a given player color needs for their setup, that way I can just hand everybody their own bag for their personal setup.
My favorite accessories are a couple of very cheap sectioned trays that I use as component trays for almost every game and some simple card holders for games that need it.
I picked this up about 2 months ago. Took me about 100 hours before I could put it down.
Backpack Battles. It’s an inventory management based auto-battler. Chill game and I like spatial puzzle a lot.
The game uses the Godot engine and it runs great on the deck. The UI is very smooth and thoughtfully designed.
A neat thing about the battle system is that it’s fully asynchronous. No matchmaking delay and it even works offline. I believe it works by preloading a number of opponent-builds at the beginning of the run.
Nice, now just another year to go while they fix it to run well on the Steamdeck.
Just don’t end up as the this guy

We’ve been playing Carnegie a bunch. The game works great at all player counts but I really like it at 2-players. It’s highly interactive so it’s easier to keep a close eye on a single opponent and the neutral discs you add at lower player counts help guide early game strategic decisions. Very cool action selection and I really like the worker “lifecycle” and the route building too. Great BGA implementation.
I will try to live by these rules IRL too.
Too much if I am honest about it. Currently obsessed with DRG: Survivor and I’ve put in an embarrassing number of hours in the last couple weeks.
It depends. If there is any money on the line or don’t want to burn bridges then I’d do the smart thing, whatever that is. Otherwise I’d just skip it.
I skipped a few months because of travels but jumping back in now! First game was on Chen. I was worried that I’d have a rough start but muscle memory returned in no time. We lost to slow rotations and lane pressure but had some good plays.
I just checked the Quick Start rules in the rulebook, looks great! Really glad that they have included that. Reminds me of the similar rules in Baseball Highlights 2045 or Space Base and I always play with those.
Thanks for the excellent review!
Do you think that the early encounters will feel samey in repeated replays? StS is a “slow” deckbuilder in the sense that you don’t acquire new cards every round but only after encounters so you go through your starting deck a few times before you really start seeing new cards. This is fine in digital StS since it plays so fast but I wonder how early game feels on the table. How many rounds do early encounters typically take?
Picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a few days ago and I’m now 20 hours in, really enjoying it. It’s a very thematic translation of the original DRG into a survivor game. The terrain and mining are a great addition to the survivor formula, it’s not only for resource collection but it also gives a new twist to the positioning puzzle. The game seems very well suited for more content so I hope that it will keep coming.
Trump and his handlers just before the debate:
Handler: Mr President… (he insists on being called that by his people) - before you go out there I want you to promise again that you won’t bring up the thing about people eating cats and dogs…
Trump: yeah, fine
Handler: Remember how we talked about this? And how you promised that you won’t bring it up no matter what happens?
Trump: Yeah, fine, whatever.
