The Curse of the Golden Idol was released in 2022, but could probably run on my microwave. It's a brilliant little detective game inspired by The Return of the Obra Dinn. Highly recommended.

Another detective game from 2022 I loved that's similarly untaxing on hardware was Strange Horticulture. You run a horticulture shop in a Victorian-y fantasy land where strange things are happening...

Both under 8 hours to complete.

Super Mario Odyssey. It's mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.

He's already said he's retiring about three times. Then finds something he likes the look of and he's back. I mean, if he says it after every film, he might eventually be right!

I love this video. The escalating insanity is wonderful. I once got the Harder Drives music stuck in my head for about 2 days straight.

Is 16GB RAM "plenty?" I'm not so sure. It depends on what kind of development you're doing, what you're running locally, etc. My work laptop has 16 gigs hard capped, and I always wish I had more headroom. Obviously, budget matters, so that's a call for you to make, but 16 gigs is probably the smallest amount to call "enough" these days.

(Of course, it's also extremely easy to expand if you find you need more, so...)

Q is going to go public with it any day now, just you wait.

Can't speak to overall issues, and haven't watched it since it originally aired, but there was somewhat infamous friction between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi, to the point where they would not appear in a scene with each other. The scene in the final episode (or near it, I don't exactly remember) in which they appear together at the bar is assembled from separately shot footage.

I think it mostly suffered from the standard network TV show issue of not having a real plan beyond "as many episodes as possible".

First two episodes are absolutely superb. Brilliant hook.

They don't mean a human lifetime, more like a honey bee.

That's like getting kicked out of the KKK for being too racist.
