Yes. Here’s an example file so you can see there’s not much in there for each entry.
- Comment on RSS and OPML 5 days ago:
As n OPML file just contains the definition of which feeds you want to follow, not the actual RSS data. They’re handy when you want to switch from one RSS reader to another. You can usually export the settings from your old service and import them into the new.
Check with your RSS service but importing an OPML file should always add new services to the list, not overwrite.
I don’t think an OPML file tracks what you’ve read or not but I could be wrong about that.

Yah, I have somebody’s 2048 game in my terminal here and play that when I need to stop thinking thoughts for a second.
OK, but pretend for a second that some of us are mere mortals. Is there a TUI game dev engine (?) we could learn to dev in fairly quickly? One that protects us from the pitfalls of the C language?
Asking for myself…
- Comment on Beginner gamedev projects? 1 week ago:
I taught myself some 2D game design and coding with Phaser. My idea was to recreate 80s arcade games like frogger and asteroids. It’s great for that and my games run in the browser, pure Javascript.
Just remember that making a game includes making artwork and sound and intro screens and more. It’s a lot of work.

Oh, thanks much. I didn’t realize there’s another “support” community here. We should consider this closed and I will just monitor the other communities for a fix. Cheers,

- Comment on What is your favourite game console? 2 weeks ago:
I think because it was so different from what came right before it: Gamecube, PS3, Xbox.
Waving that Wiimote around was a blast for everyone, gamers and non-gamers alike. Tons of hours of play in this Sports Resort, for instance.

I get what @berttheduck said about long games / serious gamers but can you imagine your grandma trying to play most Switch or PS5 or other new console games now?
- Comment on What is your favourite game console? 2 weeks ago:
The challenge with this question is that not everyone has played in every console, so like, for me, I can only comment on the Atari 2600, the Wii and the XBOX 360.
From that small sample, the wii wins hands down. I loved the motion controllers a lot.

Remake by Connie Willis
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remake_(novel)
Remake is a 1995 science fiction novel by Connie Willis. It was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1996. The book displays a dystopic near future, when computer animation and sampling have reduced the movie industry to software manipulation.
Great book, well worth reading still.
