Mid-80s, these were the only sour treats available.

Salty dried Chinese plum

Same, a Vic20 straight to IBM XT. Gutted.

At least a friend had one for 3-player IK tournaments, and North and South battles.

Seeing and playing this in '91, yeah, it was futurism up close.

1999, at the first Homelands festival in Winchester, SE of London.

She was Scottish and was there with a girlfriend. We were 4 guys from a different country, out for the night from our share-house.

We talked and I was nervous about how graceful, intelligent and demure I found her. Hung out and talked, went home our separate ways.

The next day I was at the Papillon bar-cafe with a friend and she came up out of the blue. She was distributing flyers for a gig, and placing some at the cafe. We talked and I was stunned and not confident again. Looking back, there was something there between us, but I did not initiate anything. We said goodbye with no numbers exchanged.

Out of all of London, we bumped into eachother and I didn't read the destiny flags that were hanging around us.

I am happy now in life, but I will never forget her, how she captured my interest and made me feel that weekend. I have no idea where she is now. I hope happy and fulfilled with whichever direction life has taken her over the past 25 years.

Luanti (aka Minetest) was constructed with a Lua API that makes the core-engine easily extensible, so that today hundreds of mods and gametypes have been added by a vibrant volunteer community.

These mods have become more easily accessible with a new in-game frontend-GUI mod selector and downloader, added in the last year.

I'm currently playing through the Glitch game-mod by Wuzzy.

Indeed.

Took me a while to consider if this was an art piece. They were functional and used by many people, IIRC.

wears off

I think it is in the duration of hours, rather than minutes before wearing off.

So yes, a team in rotation is required for CPR, or one triathalon participant.

Ayyy, love Brad Sucks! Listened to this tune 50 or 100 times. :D

Up there with other nice CC artists like Grace Valhalla, or Professor Kliq.

I have heard from someone else that it can become an addictive sleep primer.

The other tip I forgot, is that they need to be full of food. If they are very tired/irritable and not going down, offer their 3 favourite foods + some milk. After eating their fill, this should trigger a whole bunch of sleepiness.

6 bonus days of being with mum, is what I'm going with.

If they are obviously tired, but fighting to stay awake, a short trip in the car usually works in 5-10 minutes. I had a rough bitumen road route all mapped out until it was resurfaced.

I've heard the washer on spin cycle can work, but that is probably for younger ages who can't climb out of a bassinet.

The push to stay awake usually comes from having other people over or some high interest event happening. I black out as many windows as possible and turn off all lights. You can try the same music, prior to bedtime, as a sleep-cue, like a Riff-Raff etc. Try playing a technical monotone podcast or DIY-vid audio, might work.

Sleeping with mum or dad's worn shirts can help, providing a comforting scent etc.

When lying down in the same room, playing a game of "I'm going to get to sleep first" can often start things off on the road to sleepytown.

Good luck zzzz (c:

Firefly

The Expanse

28 Days (zombo series of movies)

Spiral (French police series)

Chefs (French restaurant series)

Kvaesitso has an excellent, intuitive layout.

Can anyone confirm they have it running on GrapheneOS?

Build it in a fire-brick tunnel enclosure, with slow release CO2 , or IR light attractant.

Numpty Physics (solve puzzles by drawing lines, physics Sim)

Powder Toy (falling sand game)

Box Stacker (add Tetris pieces to solve physics puzzles)

And I've been getting into the Glitch mini-game in luanti(minetest)

Welcome to Hell

Yes, it is worth getting into video games. Mental quickness, friends, and less Alzheimers are some benefits.

People in this post are making excellent recommendations for quality commercial games.

I can recommend starting out in videogames, by getting into Free Software (Libre) games.

Libre Games cost nothing, have no spyware, and usually have positive, helpful, DIY focused communities.

Here is a post I made that lists a few of my favourite free games on desktop and mobile.

If any on this list are too difficult or hard to set up, just skip.

Historical note

The Fool's Errand game, from 1987, sold very well with women gamers. Over 50% IIRC.

It is a tricky puzzle game with Tarot Card theming and an excellent sense of humour.

Fool's Errand is not Free Software though, and way out of print. It could probably be emulated on a device that you have, PC or phone.
