MF8 sounds familiar, but I might have had some other puzzles of that brand.

What brand of gigaminx did you have?

I can't recall. It's been well over ten years. I think I solved it two or three times. It was just tedious. Whatever cheap brand they had on dealextreme at the time.

Thanks, but it's no longer an issue. I had a work-issued Mac, but now I'm all Linux.

Just Worms that got all the ports.

I haven't tried the 2007 version that you speak of, but it might be good. I've played a couple of rounds of WMD on my switch, and as I recall the gameplay was similar.

Of course, you need one or three friends in your couch to pass the controller around to to get the full experience.

Even-dimensioned cubes (4x4x4, 6x6x6, ...) are harder because they introduce some parity errors. Odd-dimensioned keep their fever center piece in the right spot.

Otherwise the size just makes it more tedious. I keep up with a 4x4x4. I had a gigaminx dodecahedron that I solved a few times, but it just made my hands tired from the weight and kept popping out pieces because of their tinyness.

Even without the privacy concerns, I think it removes the sovereignty of your own computer.

I decide what code I run on my computer.

A few years ago I had some peripheral that started ~~iTunes~~ Music.app every time I plugged it in. (Bluetooth headphones, I think). As I don't use it, and there was no way to disable it I figured i could just delete it.

Nope! Music.app is a system application on a read-only partition shadowed on your root filesystem. Apparently it is possible by booting with the partition in read-write developer mode, but you'll get to do it all over again with every update.

That's a misleading title. I thought this was a response from Thor.

Instead I got a video of Louis Rossman :'(

Back when we met she looked me up on Facebook, where I had listed my faith. She thought it would be a deal-breaker for a minute or two until she read up on pastafarianism.

She has come to accept my faith and has even read the good book cover to cover.

So they finally made a sequel?

I'm thinking about the 1989 version. There's many ports, but DOS/Amiga/Macintosh are all good. Even the C64 port is great.

I must admit I've never seen or played these. They might be a bit too new for me. I listened to an interview with the game designer on the retro hour a while back. It sounded intriguing.

Would you care to give an elevator pitch on why these are must-play?
