KDE Plasma is the way to go if you're too used to the Windows desktop. Plasma 6 is out, and from what I ses it's more like Windows 11, though Plasma is so configurable you could definitely mimic Windows 10.

Kubuntu still uses Plasma 5, which was pretty much exactly like using Windows 10 when I used it, though more configurable and smoother to use. If you want stability and compatibility in your machine, with a DE that has all its issues ironed out, Kubuntu is a good choice.

Oh man, Obra Dinn for sure. Nothing quite replicates that moment when all the pieces start to fit together. The game took me about 6 hours, I believe. Four hours were spent furiously trying to solve the puzzles, but the last two hours were a wonderful cascade of clues falling into place until I had a complete record of the ship's crew and passengers. Masterpiece.

Fallout: New Vegas. I still find new stuff in it to this day, don't get me wrong. But to be able to get lost in the Mojave with no idea of the stakes at play all over again would be an absolute delight.

For music, Facelift by Alice in Chains is one of the most underrated albums of all time. If I could go back to popping that CD in the stereo, not knowing what I'm in for and realizing that I'm listening to an Appetite for Destruction-level album. I wore that original CD out. :)

Maybe they can partner with Epson or Brother, they're pretty good at keeping their printers from printing

Finally, I know what the phone call does! Maybe I've been too hard on Roger Rabbit NES....

By the time I got around to playing it, the number was deprecated and I definitely wasn't figuring out how to actually beat it! I guess I just assumed it gated me from the end, when it was probably some other esoteric thing.

The name and the intro really put in the work to get you excited for some high-octane action.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit on NES. Ghostbusters was more disappointing, but I've at least kinda figured out how to play it over my lifetime. WFRR I'm clueless on. I think it's some kind of point and click, but I'm not really sure. There's a part where you have to call a real life telephone number to progress.

Pretty accurate depictions of what it feels like to play these games.

The opponent never moves.

It was either Super Mario Bros. on NES or Excitebike. Unfortunately followed shortly thereafter by Ghostbusters and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Mind you, the NES was a good bit before my time, and I was playing a hand-me-down. I count myself lucky to have had the same experience many kids in the 80s had on Christmas Day when the NES hit North America. Even with all the gizmos now, the NES and N64 really capture me in a way that I'm not sure they would had I grown up with a PS2 like everyone else.

Getting tired of these live action remakes.... Good to see Rich Evans share the limelight with some lesser known names though!

Holy shit - I had heard about this, but those eyes are FIERCE. He looks great though, if only there weren't anyone rallying against biological men wearing makeup.
