Weaveworld was huge when it came out. Great and Secret Show is good too.

For a quality horror experience, read the short story Dread, from The Books of Blood II collection.

No spoilers, read it cold.

you can put down buildings while on pause.

Now this! is a pro-tip. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this moment about the Q&A.

The lack of self-awareness about how ghoulish, and close to grave robbing these ‘reanimations’ are is concerning. Glad to hear that museum professionals are not entertaining it for a moment.

Zing! Love it. <3

Highlander :P

Dragster shone in '83 as an example of gameplay-over-graphics. Just outstanding.

I don’t have a 2600 today, but I do have a solitary cart of Dragster. Be ready.

We invited another friends’ family over to sit at a table in our driveway. Had dinner, chatted, handed out lollies to about 40 kids, gave them compliments on their costumes. The 10 who were without costume got the same lollies and “Happy Halloween”. I remember what it is to be a kid.

The parents chaperoning kids around are usually not in costume.

As for our decorations and costumes, we had fake spider and snake out, I dressed up family members in a sugar-skull shirt, and I wore a NIN Ghosts shirt.

Before heading out front, my dad-joke got a groan, when I said, “I am dressed as ghosts!”

Fully free distro list

If you know how to source hardware that uses fully-free drivers, they are worth a look.

Guix and Parabola also look interesting.

You probably didn’t even know it’s pronounced Jimp too!!

Holding down on the map --> pressing ‘Actions’ --> then ‘Download map’ works very well offline, thank you!

I did not know about the offline satellite download within OSMand, TIL.

What is the most open and still usable satellite tileset? Is it MS Hybrid?

That works for online usage, thanks.

Does not seem to cache the satellite tiles for usage offline.

Note: I had to enable ‘Online sources’ to make the underlay option show up.

Thanks for checking.

Thanks for this.

Do you know what happened to RMaps?

The previous page for it on fdroid 404s.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, I added some extra info.

Do you know if there is a solution where you can pre-load satellite imagery tiles, for use when away from coverage areas?

GMaps WV will show ‘No internet - Retry’ if you are out of coverage areas, and is unusable offline.
