  • I can’t directly answer the question, as I don’t use one. But I would like to mention that I put on a pair of joystick caps which are frankly pretty thin layers of silicon all things considered, and now the Deck won’t fit inside the case unless I firmly hold it closed and then pull the zipper.

    The case is designed to fit it very snugly, it would seem! But third-party cases usually have more give inside for covers and joystick caps etc.





  • No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.

    They’re both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we’re golden!

    Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one’s possible to buy on Gog and Steam…)

    Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I’d prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I’d still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!

  • I use it almost daily when in bed and thinking of some project or the other—I like to think in text—but don’t want to bring up my notetaker and getting even more distracted.

    And I often get friends and family open one up while troubleshooting their problems. What else would I use, Notepad?

    Ultimately, why not? Why do people make little standalone tools like this? For fun, probably. Or because they can. As a learning exercise? And when it has no cost to the developer to maintain, or the user to use. Why would I even try to second-guess their motivation?
