I really enjoyed the game, but… I did lose despite having fully solved the case and got a confession. Maida told me it was okay to do, but it wasn’t?

thanks for making and sharing this! :) I’m playing now

edit:

i saw a funky thing in one of my chats:

but that’s it so far!

I now refuse to go back! It took time but now I openly express pain using qwerty on a touchscreen :) Probably the first thing I’d install on my phone (after f-droid to find it naturally) :)

I don’t think I make it through a day without a quote from this being uttered! :)

I’m with you 100% :) I have a record collection too, but heck if I’d want only records! There’s a use case for each, even if mine’s oddly specific.

I feel Steve Albini’s take on CDs hit it correctly, it was basically to the effect of “welcome to the rich man’s eight track tape, the music industry’s newest way to make you re-buy your music and spend more money”.

I will say he couldn’t have forseen CDs lasting like they have and being the last big physical format, but I think it’s very true. You’re right that physical formats don’t negate the greed/capitalism, and there’s a compulsive desire from companies to control how you enjoy the media you paid for and “own”.

In short, I completely agree with you and the media industries are really restrictive/anti-art, but love CDs as a format. :)

I love CDs.

I love that they play in my car, don’t take up a tonne of space, have liner notes, and occupy physical space. I stick them on in the house as much as my LPs, and like picking out what to play.

I’m okay with being in the minority, but the sentimental value of where I was when I picked an album, where I’ve listened to it, and who I was with means a great deal to me. :) I download too, but usually things just sit on my drive and don’t get listened to.

You present a good point about licences, but I’ve not ever experienced this, and my main concern with licencing is things vanishing from my library - it bothers me when an album vanishes from spotify, and that never happens with physical media (same is true of downloaded music to be fair). It’s not that I’m blindly loyal to Phillips or whatever, just that I like this format for my specific use case.

CDs are great though :( I love that I can rip them and back them up, play them wherever I go, no licences or streaming. :)

Oooh yeeeah! I dig it!

Thank you for this! I’m a Unity developer by trade but RPG maker always looked neat :)

That’s exactly it! I always say it as “I’m going to play in Unity/Godot”, I’m really happy it’s not just me! :)

Does making game code count? I like making game things and binning them before they resemble something playable! :)

Besides that… I mostly… no that’s it, I rarely play things, unless that time every 6 months that I get really into a top-down RPG. For a weekend, my main use is exploring a colorado wasteland or a small town, but it’s followed by me starting to make a game aaaand giving up again… but it’s fun! :)

I really should make music, I sometimes feel the spark went and it’s sad. :(

Thank you! I had a look, as I thought they were discontinued in the UK, and it looks like I can get one sim-only from a few places. :) Awesome, that’ll do nicely when the time comes, thank you again!

I will be sad when my S10 dies, purely for finding a headphone jack. It might sound dumb, but I only see drawbacks to bluetooth audio, as it’s not solving any problem I had to begin with. :)

I am helping by installing Linux Mint, I’m sure this is what they wanted! :) I like it much more than 10 :)

Ooh another opportunity to yell from the rooftops how great “Nobody Loves You More” by Kim Deal is! :) Honestly a fully fantastic album that I love. :)

“Romance” by Fontaines DC was another brilliant one!

ooh and the new Cure album!

Nice! I think I’ll be downloading this! Thank you! :) I was looking at long-term big goals, but building up a habit each day is how things get started!

Thanks again!

You’re absolutely right, and it crossed my mind - I was mostly looking to a dedicated app to encourage me to open it, but I could just pin the spreadsheet :) That might be what I end up doing, thank you!

Currently I’m just using the notes app in my phone :) that might be all I am needing in fairness! :)
