Is there any other browser that does a right-side vertical tab bar with compact tabs?

There's an extension for Firefox to do it, but it's a bit clunkier than Vivaldi's - definitely something I'd only switch to if I really had to... but every other browser I've seen only offers left-side vertical tabs at best, which is terrible if you want 3 monitors in a left-to-right layout with your browser on the left.

Wasn't the entire point of not using "Windows 9" branding and instead going straight to "Windows 10" from 8 that they didn't want the last version of Windows to be 9, that they preferred a nice round number.

I'm not a DRG superfan and didn't expect to enjoy this, but the progression feels very solid and it's a lot of fun. Surprisingly addictive.

While it's not DRG, it feels extremely faithful to the original game and doesn't have that "too-vampire-survivorsish" feel that some of these games suffer from.

I can't really pin down what makes it so playable - my best guess is the pacing of the upgrades and the mix of the 4 classes feels like it's just right. Tunnelling through walls (and the mining speed upgrades) is also a particularly interesting mechanic.

What's an example of an upgrade in another similar game that enables a "weird" build?

They created the "inbox" button on the desktop client because when you're in a ton of servers, finding where the notification was a big pain point. The notifications tab covers the same thing for the app, and it's very readily accessible now. I think before the update it still took about 3 taps to get to the "Inbox", and only then if you knew where it was hiding.

I just signed up and tried to figure out how to join any remotely interesting community. There were none.

There were a bunch of public communities - not many - and I think the most interesting ones in the public room list were either Element Android, Telegram, and Rust. And Rust is one of my most hated games that I wish I'd refunded.

Why doesn't Matrix just call "spaces" servers? By calling them spaces, they have created a learning curve for no reason.

Even just saying you have to download a client called Element to access Matrix is not intuitive. To access Discord, you download a client called Discord.

Kukoro: stream chat games - hidden gem (lemm.ee)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/twitch

Kukoro is a bunch of minigames that viewers can play with the streamer, or if the streamer prefers, the streamer can leave in "afk mode" where viewers can vote for a best choice against a countdown timer. Any viewer can play, but viewers that buy the game get a few advantages. It's a cheap and very fun game that many players do end up buying.

Dungeon Raid - Participating viewers are assigned two random abilities against a specific type of monster. Monsters come out one at a time and the streamer picks their best choice to go against each monster in 1v1 duels. Players can !jump to tell the streamer they want to fight or !hide if they don't (the streamer can override any decision, sometimes with hilarious results). Winners can go up in level, eventually unlocking classes.

Colours - 5 rounds where a single colour is shown and players need to walk over to one column of a "board" showing potential matching colours. A laser swipes left to right and anyone who is wrong is eliminated. As a caveat, all players can potentially be wrong, but whoever is lasered first is eliminated, so whoever is to the right-most side will win.

**Garden **- The viewers are the garden and try to box in the streamer. While viewers "walk" using !w !a !s !d they are vulnerable, but when they stop moving, they are safe. The streamer has to kill all the viewers until they run out of lives.

Quarantine - There are 12 rooms that can carry 3-4 viewers each. Anyone caught outside when the round ends will almost certainly become infected. Anyone who bunks with an infected viewer will likely become infected, but healthy viewers that bunk with infected viewers may become cured. Play continues until round 15, until everyone is cured, or until everyone is dead.

And there's a bunch more minigames that I can't go into here (a total of 18 minigames). There are skins to unlock and many are adorable and well-crafted by HeyNau, the developer.

There is a relatively quiet unofficial discord server here: https://discord.gg/tZJjwFjPHq
