  • Mostly, it’s the must-have Indie darlings, with a sprinkling of AAA fodder.

    I’ve loved:

    • Rimworld
    • Yakuza 0
    • Slay The Spire
    • Dave the Diver
    • Dredge

    I’ve found that I enjoy playing offbeat adventure games on the deck more than I did sat at a PC. Detention, Norco, Loretta, To The Moon, that sort of thing is perfect for playing in bed, propped against the pillows.

    I’m personally a huge fan of project zomboid, though I had to tweak the controls a little to make it work well.

    I’m sure Stardew Valley is a perfect match for the deck, but I’ve played it too much already.



  • It’s really not. It’s just getting started. The worst predictions, of 4-6 degrees of warming, are more or less off the table. Current trajectory is ~3 degrees of warming which… is civilisationally devastating admittedly, but we have pathways to reduce that. Even the 1.5c target isn’t over yet.

    There is a broad range of potential future climates, and this generation decides which one we end up with. It’s not over by a long shot.


  • If you’re a programmer rather than a professional typist, you probably can use it at work. It took a couple of weeks for me to adjust, a couple of months to be fluent, but it would have been longer if I didn’t use it all day every day.

    The biggest hurdles for me personally were

    1. I didn’t touch type properly before. I was a fast typist, but my hands roamed freely over the board. I realised that the finger I used to press a key depended on the word where it was used, and that took ages to re-learn.
    2. I bound enter and space to mode shift holds for symbols etc. It works great, but it does mean I sometimes hit enter and send half a slack message instead of typing punctuation.
