To be fair, your username kind of suggests you want to look inside everything anyway

Command and Conquer: Orange Scourge

My favourite role of his (outside of Trek) is as the Elvis-loving dad in The Commitments.

That's more optimistic than I am about it. My first thought was that they will just abandon the ports and contribute nothing to the ecological disaster of the left over oil and petrochemicals polluting the seas.

Totally valid, I love Apple trackpads, makes PC laptop trackpads pale in comparison

Having used Apple computers since the Apple II+, I think I'm allowed to say that the vast majority of Apple's mouse designs have been utter trash. The one that I might give a pass to is the ADB Mouse 2. I'm not expecting Apple to change the habit of a lifetime by designing a comfortable mouse.

Hail to the King, baby!

Obligatory shout-out for any Bullfrog games of that era, especially Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2. Lionhead's Black & White is 1 year out of your window, but such a good game.

Also:
Syndicate Wars
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Grim Fandango
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Descent
Grand Theft Auto

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes ranks number one for me; the original story with updated control scheme and graphics is awesome. Then it's a toss up between 2 and V. 2 is a solid game in the same mould as the first, but V allows me to Fulton extract unsuspecting enemies which is a genius mechanic that allows me an immense range of fuckery.

Against all odds, the two are determined to save their town... that is if the studio doesn't can the movie as an insurance write-off.

I'd forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation

 

I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?

 

I've had my deck for 2 years now and it's been my main gaming device since the day I got it. I take it on trips and use my 3rd party dock and controller to hook it up to whichever TV is at my location.

My only regret is that this way I'm limited to controller-only games, and I really want to play some of the keyboard + mouse games in my library.

Whichever kb + mouse I buy needs to be as portable and lightweight as possible, but still functional with near full-size keycaps (chiclet keys are ok).

I have a folding Bluetooth keyboard, but the build quality is absolute trash.

Any recommendations will be gratefully added to my research list!
