I love the idea.
I hope you’ll reconsider the domain name, though. Dashes make them harder to type, harder to remember (was there a dash? an underscore? nothing?), harder to read aloud to someone else, and (in some user interfaces) impossible to select with a double click. A domain name containing a dash isn’t unusable, of course, but is a perpetual source of friction and mild annoyance that could have been avoided.

Almost certainly to protect invasive anti-cheat code that they expect your computer to run with system-level privileges.

Not CLI. Terminal interface. (Sort of. It’s dependent on sixel graphics support.)

It’s refreshing to see Expedition 33 winning a category it deserves, and only that category.

you had no objectives.
So you could just stay on your ship forever.
Are you sure you haven’t inverted the cause/effect relationship here? ;)

There’s a lot more here than what the headline captures, about Flock, their lies, and how their systems’ widespread use affects communities. It’s worth a watch.

- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 1 month ago:
Sad to see that so many FANTASTIC games ended up with nil, because E33 stole the show so hard, but it’s tough to argue that they didn’t deserve each one.
I’ll argue it.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a beautiful game. The music is amazing, the scenery is lovely, and the English voice acting surprisingly good.
But its gameplay is bog standard JRPG battles with a basic parry mechanic. Nothing original or otherwise interesting there.
I feel it deserved every award it received for being a work of art, but Game of the Year? No.
- Comment on Any games I missed in the last 21 months? 1 month ago:
Hi-Fi Rush was released shortly before that time, but it was Denuvo-encumbered until about a week ago.
- Comment on Hytale can now be pre-ordered 1 month ago:
Pre-ordering games encourages publishers to release buggy, unoptimized, incomplete, garbage.
And, since there’s no scarcity, the assurance you might get from pre-ordering physical goods doesn’t exist here.
Please don’t do it.

Thrower is a viable build in this game, and there is a source of rats in Act 2. :)

- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 1 month ago:
“Calls to scrap” the disclosures make it sound like a societal movement, when in fact it’s just two people with obvious bias: Tim Sweeney and some guy who promotes Tim Sweeney’s products on youtube.
I hope this doesn’t seem overly rude, but I don’t give a flying frog what they think. When I allow someone to sell me something, I like to know what’s in it.

- Comment on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues 2 months ago:
Not only because it’s a single point of failure, but also because it’s a single point of surveillance.
Cloudflare can read even modify the communications everyone has with sites behind its HTTPS service. And it can monitor people’s browsing through its DNS-over-HTTP service. And it can fingerprint people’s browsers through any of its services that use JavaScript, such as its CAPTCHA-like thing.
- Comment on A massive Cloudflare outage brought down X, ChatGPT, and even Downdetector 2 months ago:
Cloudflare has become a privacy problem approaching that of Google. I would be happy to see the web collectively abandon its services, in favour of many smaller providers.

You’re not alone. The visuals are nice, the voice acting is good, and the music is gorgeous, but the gameplay is very repetitive JRPG combat with a minor twist.
As art, I could see it winning awards. As a game, I think others are more deserving.

Even if you could expand the RAM and storage,
You can.
everything else is just sitting there waiting to be obsolete in a couple years.
That’s what some people said about the Steam Deck. More than a couple of years later, it is still popular; clearly not obsolete.
I just don’t get who they’re trying to make this for. You can easily build a PC with a reasonable budget that could easily tackle things this cube probably couldn’t.
I think you’re overlooking the fact that most gamers have different skills and priorities than yours. Not everyone would find it easy to build a computer at all, let alone build a quiet and compact one with well-matched components, a tuned and convenient OS, and good support.
This device is probably not a good fit for you. It probably is a good fit for many people outside of gaming PC enthusiast circles. Especially now that Valve has established its hardware as a well-defined platform for game developers to support.

A lot of the time it fizzles out or doesn’t stand up to any kind of real scrutiny.
Which times, specifically?
- Comment on [Gamer's Nexus was] Contacted by the US Secret Service | The AI Surveillance Center Dystopia 2 months ago:
More importantly, it looks like Gamers Nexus (no apostrophe) is crowdfunding the deeper investigation that they want to do.
I’m inclined to think contributing to this journalism would be worthwhile.
