A top-down action fighting semi-roleplaying game.

I played quite a bit of it until early 2015. Spiral Knights is an exceptional game, but unfortunately as of the last time I played it, it lacks balance and so it lacks variety.

This is an exception to Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.

A virtual desktop program.

Absolutely mandatory.

I used this on Windows XP and Windows 8.1. Windows 10 has reasonable virtual desktop functionality built-in. See using Windows 10 virtual desktops.

A guy goes mad and has visions, except they’re real people.

Decent, with occasional awesomeness between cringeworthy moments of “let’s see if we can put this shit in a show”. Oh, and it’s no wonder, it’s from “The Wachowskis”. I’m just going to let this die.

was angstrom-distribution.org

Ångström was started by a small group of people who worked on the OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus and OpenSimpad projects to unify their effort to make a stable and user-friendly distribution for embedded devices like handhelds, set top boxes and network-attached storage devices and more.

Properly titled Ångström
It’s the default Linux distribution for the Pandora.
It has/had support for the Zaurus SL-C1000, but I haven’t tested it there.
Yocto Project-approved.

A 2.5D hack-and-slash combat-roleplaying game.

I played a bit of this a while back, maybe early/mid-2015. I liked it, but I moved on to other things.

TODO – add my notes, and scripts

Git >

Provides a reasonable environment for working with Git while trapped on Windows. A console window with Bash, various everyday linux console applications, and git.

I loved it, and used it regularly for sane scripting when trapped on Windows, via bash, as well as for git itself.

I replaced it with Cygwin/Babun.
