played "year walk" via the simogo legacy collection. really enjoyed the general vibe but found some of the necessary inputs somewhat obtuse on a controller. not helped by guides not making sense because a bunch of content was changed or cut from earlier versions it seems

clearing out a bunch of old computers and hard drives at the moment; what does it mean if you plug in an external hard drive and it doesn't show up? not just doesn't mount, but doesn't show up in /dev

youtube is absolutely lousy with "<work of fiction> explained" videos that literally just read you a plot summary and don't offer any analysis or interpretation. who is this content for
