Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain. Quite a learning curve, but I loved the different ways you can win (conquest, trade, black ops) and how much you could customize your ships or pick unique races with tolerances for different planets.

Game strategy advice for a 30+ year old game? I love this so much, you guys are awesome.
omg YES. Nothing I have found since then has quite scratched the same itch of flying around with a friend on some random dude’s server. So much fun!
It is fairly short, but at $25USD, it was priced reasonably enough that I didn’t feel cheated. And frankly, I don’t have time for very long games, I really can only manage short games, so it works out well for me.
Little Kitty Big City, which is some great, silly fun.
Honestly, this is good advice. It’s much better to keep personal computer activity on a personal device, whether that’s on a ThinkPad or anything else.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Puppy Linux, I had a laptop hard drive fail on me when I was in school and I couldn’t afford a new one. I made it through the last semester booting Puppy Linux from a USB drive. It was no-frills, but it worked.
My life is a little better knowing this fact. 😄

Easier said than done sometimes. That’s the advantage of Ubuntu, Mint, etc. — they minimize the number of weird quirks you run into.
Good article, and I agree that watching a friend or family member discover a great game is really pleasing.
Agree with this, a headphone jack is occasionally very useful, especially when traveling. I had a Google Pixel without a headphone jack and I was surprised how much I missed it, I got an adapter just to restore that functionality.
Seconding AntennaPod, it’s been my daily driver for years. Open source, good community, continual improvements.
I’ll have to give that one a try!
