That post made me think: What are the "best" mobile games of the last few years? Ideally short (or short sessions) and not dexterity-based.

The only thing I ever want to do after clicking a Dropbox link (to a folder I have access to) is to view the file locally, in Finder. Is there really no way to do that? Is that part of the “business” upgrade they keep bugging me about?

If you enjoyed Untitled Goose Game, get ready to embody a fly who’s curious, hungry for life, perhaps a little… horny? and rather unlucky.

Does anybody know what it is exactly? It's written "Märli-Fee" (fairy tale fairy) on it. Just some proprietary audio tape device for fairytales?

Still the same game as originally created for the "5-Button Experimental Gameplay Contest" in 2012 — but with a few convenience features like rebindable controls.

Oh my god, Copilot is allowed to create and fix issues on Microsoft github repos and it goes exactly as you'd have imagined. Try going into any of these PRs commits to see poor Microsoft engineers try to coerce Copilot into doing literally anything right.

Had to use Illustrator for some design work (for reasons...): It's incredibly broken. But maybe I'm just using uncommon features like opening and exporting files or using sRGB colors. Is that already a result of AI-first/vibe coding, or was it already so bad before?

It's "I should really polish En-Garde" time of year again. En-Garde is a chalk-scrawling duel played on sidewalks and car parks. It was initially designed during a
@mariov.ch
workshop in 2012. The next day the road in front of AMAZE JHB was covered in old duels. I still carry chalk in my car.
