A simple volume icon for your taskbar's tray.
Works great, no dependencies for me, and does more than what I want.
I got this working, because fbpanel's volume plugin decided to not show up again.

A bog-standard 4X space game, but with a tiny font.
Overwhelming, and with an annoying interface.

So cute! Whenever I play a game with a little fox type thing, I will always think of Okami - (2006 game).
I ended up getting stuck at the winter/summer level, trying to go east with the spirit. I guess I'm the first person to ever play this, ever.

An oldschool music player.
Has potential, but is missing critical features and its development appears to have ceased. Only good for playing ASMA (Atar) .mus, .str, and .wds files.

Chocolatey: Ghostscript

A suite of software for dealing with PDFs.
It's a requirement for other software, and I only care about actually using it for repairing PDFs.

Survivors of an alien attack crash next to a prison and learn that the alien came with them.
This was my first movie with a shaved-headed woman. I guess I was all "oh no she di'int, now wesa gettin serioooos".
In my mind, the franchise was significantly weakened by this movie. It just didn't "feel right". Perhaps the previous two were so good that they became too tough to follow, but after yet another re-watch this movie really just doesn't seem all that good.

Waking from long hibernation, a woman claims to be the survivor of an alien attack from a planetoid which has since become a terraforming colony.
A direct descendent of Alien - (1979 movie), this movie not only builds on but improves on the movie, turning this into a blockbuster franchise.

A crew of civilians investigates a distress beacon, but it turn out to be a warning that they were too late to heed.
Alien is another "first to get there" movie which has set the bar for its sub-genre.
It has a dirty old-but-futuristic look to it that really stretches its technological and budgetary limitations. As it turns out, this has given the movie incredible longevity. For a movie as old as this, it easily stands the test of time.
