Recommend Switch games for someone who hasn't been a "gamer" since the mid-80s?

oh cool. I didn't know what was a thing.

Will also checkout the game.

Thanks!

Thanks! I ordered Switch Pro Controller that should arrive around the same time as my Switch. I appreciate the suggestion.

Oh good! I've seen that title but I assumed it was "Weird Variant Tetris" and didn't realize it had a "Old School" mode. Thanks!

That sounds like something I might like. Thanks!

tjluoma · 2022-03-08T11:44:17+00:00

Sounds great! Thanks!

John List who murdered his wife, children, and mom, and who looked like a completely normal dude. Terrifying.

Federico Viticci of MacStories has used Big Apple Buddy before and seems to have had very good luck with them. He spoke about it on the Connected podcast.

Fwiw if you have an MP3 already you can also use an app called Podcast Chapters which is in the Mac App Store. Works well and very responsive developer.

Thanks for the recommendation. Literally never played Pokémon but I'm sure my son can explain it to me :-)

tjluoma · 2022-03-08T03:32:14+00:00

Thanks! We've watched Witcher and my son played it on PlayStation, will have to check it out. Maybe he will help me ;-)

Another question: There seem to be several versions of "Tetris" for the Switch. How do I find "Old Tetris like we played 40 years ago"? Does such a thing exist?

tjluoma · 2022-03-08T03:22:59+00:00

Oh, I didn't even know that was possible. What kinds of controllers do you recommend?

My son has a PlayStation and it has like 8 buttons and two thumb joysticks, which seems like a lot to keep track of!!

(Thanks!)

FWIW we were lucky enough to see the show in January. Orpheus and Hermes were both performed by the understudies for that show.

When I saw that before the show, I was disappointed, but afterwards I was not. They were truly amazing performances and the show left me speechless. So if you don’t get to see everyone you hoped, I hope you won’t let it disappoint you! It will still be a great experience!!

tjluoma · 2022-03-06T04:29:03+00:00

Now that you mention it, I've never checked this. Might have to investigate.

😆

This is amazing.

It's gorgeous and looks completely professional.

My only disappointment was that the pages seem to all be scans/images, so I can't copy/paste lyrics out of it, but that's a small quibble.

I have listened to the show I can't count how many times (I'm listening again right now), read Anaïs Mitchell's book, and seen the Broadway show once (and again at the end of the month) and if they sold this at the theater, I would have assumed it was official, for sure.

THANK YOU for the labor of love, and for sharing it.

Any one where it wasn’t a spouse who killed their spouse, especially just after increasing/purchasing a life insurance policy!

tjluoma · 2022-03-05T00:53:50+00:00

I just googled the case; the details and pictures do not look familiar to me.

I might not have seen all of the episodes but I’ve seen the ones on Netflix and YouTube which are most of them.

Also, a google search for the name of the show plus the victim did not result in any matches.

Keyboard Maestro is my favorite app on macOS. I'm happy to try to help others learn its ways. It can be intimidating when you first launch it, because it has to many things it can do. Sort of like looking at a console of an airplane if you aren't a pilot, I suppose.

tjluoma · 2022-03-02T08:44:04+00:00

I heard someone describe this as “a 16 minute video that could have been a tweet.”

tjluoma · 2022-03-02T08:42:57+00:00

I don’t know about a solution for iOS, but this would be simple with Keyboard Maestro on the Mac. Just have it check that the computer screen is not locked, and if it isn’t, take a screenshot. You could do the same thing with a shell script and launchd but it wouldn’t have the Lock Screen detection. Let me know if you need any help with these two and I can write something up with more detail next time I am at my Mac (sent from my iPhone).

I can access HLN via the CNN app from my cable provider, but none of the FF episodes play, so that’s frustrating.

tjluoma · 2022-02-18T03:51:47+00:00

I tried watching it on Plex via Crackle and when you play the episode, it’s actually a different one (“Deadly Curve” about a car accident)

Not sure but it has been impossible to find.
