I don't know about most beautiful but Dale of Merchants and Ascension have some of my favorite card art. I also like Mottainai for it's aesthetic simplicity.

Hm, yeah I can't think of any from the top of my head. I guess the site's format works best for euros and the audience seems to be geared towards that too.

Make sure to check out Yucata.de too. They have about 200 games with some overlaps with BGA. The site UI takes some getting used to and matchmaking is not as well featured as BGA's but the in-game UI is actually very nice once you grok it and it has an excellent undo/replay/log system.

Some of my Yucata favorites:

  • Bonfire
  • Carpe Diem
  • Cartographers (also on BGA)
  • Fields of Arle
  • Grand Austria Hotel
  • Lorenzo Il Magnifico
  • Mottainai
  • Mountain Goats (also on BGA)
  • Mystic Vale
  • Newton
  • Rajas of the Ganges
  • Rajas Dice
  • Red Cathedral
  • Renature
  • Taverns of Tiefenthal

And I am currently practicing Skymines.

  • Termux (or equivalent) has always been the primary mobile phone use case for me. Access to my main computing platforms from my pocket.
  • Antennapod
  • Fedilab (Mastodon)
  • Fennec - Can't deal with the web without uBo and other extensions.

So, this is a more involved approach and it's not a Firefox add-on but I thought I'd mention it:

https://fnordig.de/til/Machine-Translation/bergamot-subtitles.html

You'd play the YT videos outside the browser using mpv in combination with yt-dlp and an mpv lua script would do the translation locally using the Bergamot engine (which happens to be Mozilla's translation engine). Could be adapted to use other engines too.

Thanks, I see that sdl2-compat-2.30.51-1 has landed in Arch since.

I am pretty that's the minibuffer-prompt face. But that's on the "already tried" list so not sure why that didn't work.

(custom-set-faces '(minibuffer-prompt ((t (:foreground "yellow" :weight bold))))) does the job for me.

Edit: oh yeah, as others have already mentioned it might also come from default. Other faces inherit from default so for example with the settings above you'd still inherit :background from default since we are not overriding it.

 

When the newly released sdl3 is installed it offers to replace sdl2 with sdl2-compat which is a compatibility wrapper around sdl3. Any experience with this wrapper? Are you a happy user? Have you run into any breakage?

To be fair the "no USB support" window was quite short. USB started becoming available to consumers around 1998-1999 and there was some level of USB support in the Linux kernel within a few months. I remember using an early USB stack written by someone else that Linus didn't like so he rewrote it from scratch. Even the new Linus stack was in place by 1999. We got USB-2 and 3 support pretty quickly too.

I'd start by comparing the following in the working vs non-working cases:

  1. Is there a corresponding /dev/input/js* device?
  2. If it's there in both cases, any difference in permissions? Check both regular Unix perms using ls -l or stat and ACLs using getfacl

Watergate is 50 years ago but the game of the same name is a fun one and captures the theme nicely.

As I am watching this video about the use of the Clojure programming language in TV sports production I was surprised to see a bunch of Heroes screens popping up starting at around 3:15. Apparently the initial use case for the tool was Dorm in 2016 (I think, based on the project starting date mentioned and the screenshots). The tool was used for the drafting screens (this was before tournament drafting was added in-game). It was then developed further and used in all kinds esports and TV sports events.

evfwd is a new tool for forwarding evdev input events from one Linux host to another, typically through an ssh connection.

The reason I am posting this here is that my initial motivation for creating the tool was gaming related: I wanted to be able to use my laptop's keyboard and gamepad on my Steam Deck.

The tool works by serializing /dev/input/... events on one hosts and then injecting them via /dev/uinput on another. You have to arrange the pipe between the two ends, typically using ssh:

evfwd /dev/input/somedevice | ssh somehost evfwd -s

See the readme for more details.

Sell me on Lorcana (self.lorcana)

I am familiar with TCG basics, dabbled in Magic, played many boardgames. I am curious about Lorcana but so far all I know about it is that it's a Disney themed TCG.

What makes the game intriguing to you? What are some unique aspects of it? Anything you don't like about it? How much do I have to be into the theme to enjoy it? How much would I have to spend to enjoy the game 2p with my partner?

 

According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.
