tealdeer takes up 3.7MB on my system. It's a rust implementation of tldr - simplified man pages with practical examples. If I want to do some common thing with a program I don't use very often, chances are I can type (e.g.) tldr kill and it'll tell me what I need to know.

I've only played the most recent one but had a lot of fun with it. Plan on playing the originals sometime. Did you play the El Paso, Elsewhere demo? It's an occult homage to Max Payne.

Super excited about this as the game runs like shit on my laptop and there's a long running issue of fortresses becoming unplayable at high populations. Anyone tried it out?

I used to lurk /r/printsf and /r/weirdlit, and note down anything that sounded interesting. I also sometimes look at award winners + nominations. I guess I'll have to make more of an effort now.

Nearly done with Book of the Short Sun! Just started the last book in it. I really like the two-timeline structure of it, though I may be one of the minority who prefers Long Sun. It's more...idk, cosy. I like the religious themes.

I want to mention something else but not sure how to do spoilers here

Man I'm sad we don't have an /r/roguelikes here. Discussion of the genre has been clobbered by the much more popular roguelites and it was nice to have a forum focused on traditional roguelikes. There's a discord but it's not the same.

Some lesser known ones that I think are quite cool:

Shadow of the Wyrm, open world fantasy with a nice vibe.

Dawn of the Mexica, quite brutal lethal combat with an uncommon setting.

Forays into Norrendrin, traditional dungeon crawler setting with distilled gameplay systems. Brogue-adjacent.

The Ground Gives Way, also a traditional dungeon crawler but with a really interesting fatigue-based equipment system and non lethal combat options. Cool item effects and stuff.

Lost Flame, if dark souls was a roguelike. Quite involved combat where attacks are telegraphed and you can dodge them, use abilities for movement etc. Great atmosphere.

From what I understand, iPhones will downclock themselves when the battery degrades to make a charge last longer and prevent crashes. So your slow phones might have been fixable with a new battery.
