I really enjoy this, but it would be great if it defaulted to the daily puzzle.

And I could swear there was a share button, where did it go?..

Depends on what your threshold for "popular" is.

Other games that come to mind: Golden Idol series, Buckshot Roulette, Dome Keeper, Arctic Eggs, Cruelty Squad. Sonic Colors, kind of.

Someone already linked RedLib below, I'm just gonna add that you can add "safe" before "reddit.com" (i.e. safereddit.com/r/whatever) and it's going to redirect you to a redlib instance.

Looks cool. You might wanna invest in having a proper tutorial that would play the actual cards onto the field and show them interacting. The wall of text with the rules is hard to parse, to be honest

I grew tired of posting the same thing every time the extension support in Orion comes up, so thank you for doing it for me

Fluffychat works reasonably well on mobile for me. On desktop I use Fractal but it still misses some fairly major features like spaces and threads.

AMDs are much better supported. There is life with NVIDIA GPUs too, I am on 4070Ti currently doing fine, but for new builds AMD is clearly a better choice with better drivers

In the scenario where you take care of it yourself the rogue plugin would not be an issue either.

I have no idea how to do that in Windows though.

it is different on Windows, yeah. it presents itself as several keyboards and mice and does not work as a gamepad.

on Linux I think there's a kernel level driver, but I'm not sure

While I find the issue at hand extremely annoying and in poor taste (and this is not news - this was known in advance) - the same applies to the blog. This annoying clickbaity SEO slop of a blog seems to exist only to advertise their consultation services.

Sure it does, just say you "established org-wide coding standards and drove adoption of automated linting tooling, reducing review friction and enforcing style consistency at scale" in your assessment.

Why do you need AI agents for this?

You either catch and enforce it with a linter (e.g. https://golangci-lint.run/docs/linters/configuration/#revive) (in which case you don't need AI to tell you the current state, you just add the same config to all projects) or you don't enforce it (because everyone will forget unless it's automated)

GOG/Humble Store/Itch is for you then.

With the added downside of less choice and/or delayed releases

> tens of games

I have 500+ games on GOG and 1000+ in Steam. I still do regular backups of GOG installers to a local hard drive with lgogdownloader, but at any given point in time I am likely to have somewhere around 30 games installed (some of which I play maybe once a month, some are just sitting there so that I don't forget to get around to them). A lot of those games have been released fairly recently and are still getting patches, and I want to have those patches, because it's fairly normal for games to release in a broken state. Given all that, having launchers is kind of a necessity (and playtime, achievements, cloud saves, wine prefix management and social features are a nice bonus to all that).

I like seeing my achievements and playtime (but also it's more of a nice to have)

That's also one thing Galaxy gets right. You can turn off auto-updates and that won't stop you from playing the game (unlike with Steam, which will just replace your "play" button with "update"). They also support rolling back updates, but I never tried that and I'm not entirely sure if this works for every game, or if this is something a game developer has to actively support.
