I have had this happen. Mostly with weird, old, or cheap (or some combination thereof) hardware. Like sometimes the connection will hitch for a moment then three or four letters will come out backwards. Couldn't say for sure what the cause is but I suspect either the controller in the board itself is jank, or there's some kind of protocol / buffer mismatch. I have no solution, but it's not just you.

I switched to Kvaesitso from Nova. It takes a lot of getting used to because it does most stuff differently, but I'm finding it light, efficient and functional.
Timing and length of ads won't be consistent between users so this approach doesn't work.
Using a different client won't help if the ads are injected directly into the video stream.
Not sure it strictly counts as Grand Strategy as it's more of a sandbox, but X4 might be up your alley on the sci-fi front. Build a galaxy spanning empire from a single ship; complete missions, mine, trade, explore. You -can- fly the ships, but you don't have to. You can just sit in a station issuing orders.
I'm pretty sure I tried the desktop app method at some point. Didn't work at all for me but I can't recall why.
Huh. That actually sounds familiar now that you write it out in full. I guess we're both right.
Oh it's an absolute slog for sure. And I can't even guarantee it still works. I wouldn't have even tried if I didn't happen to chance upon a suitable device. Definitely wouldn't recommend paying eBay prices for one just to do this.
Maybe that's the policy at some stores, but according to the ACCC, it has to be sold at the cheaper price, or not sold at all.
I've done this successfully, but you need to jump thru quite a few hoops. These instructions are for Kindle only. I think dedrm can cope with Nook encryption but I don't know how to do it. It was a while ago now, but to the best of my recollection:
- Get yourself an older model Kindle. I used a Kindle 3 that I found at Goodwill for $20. You may have to rejig your home WiFi if your model doesn't support the right version of WPA.
- Register it to your Amazon account somehow. IIRC, you have to try and fail to do it from the device, then Amazon will email you instructions.
- Install Calibre and setup the dedrm plugin. It's pretty well documented.
- Download what you want onto the Kindle. Pretty sure you have to use the Amazon website for this because of SSL issues on the older models.
- Setup your Kindle with Calibre. This is also pretty easy and and well documented.
- Grab the DRMed books off the Kindle into Calibre.
- Run the conversion process in Calibre to remove DRM and convert to (for example) epub.
- Optional: Jailbreak your Kindle and install KOReader to get a bit more value out of the obsolete brick you had to purchase to do this. This is a whole other set of hoops.
I'm not totally sure all this still works. You're honestly probably better off getting a Boox device and downloading stuff from Anna's Archive or similar.
Pretty diverse in terms of gameplay, it's easier to list what I avoid; RTS, MOBAs / hero shooters and survival crafting. Genre / theme wise I don't really enjoy medieval style fantasy games. I'm open to at least trying anything else. Not that I have strong "x type of game is bad" type opinions (except predatory mtx games) it's just not my jam.
Where did you get this? If the signature and date is correct, this is stunning. Doing this kind of thing in '89 required some serious commitment. Still does, but modern pixel art tools are a ton easier.
