Ten Thousand Lifetimes with Roguelikes

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 19:46:24

Ten Thousand Lifetimes with Roguelikes Angband When I was a kid, a few factors combined to give me what I suspect will be a lifelong neurosis about video games: my basic respect for my parents’ authority and opinions, my mother’s extreme disdain (it seemed to me, at least, at the time) for any and all electronic gaming, and my borderline obsession with same. My brother and I weren’t allowed a game system until, after much parental deliberation, I gather, we received a Super Nintendo for the Chr

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-10-18 16:38:56

It’s turning out to be a huge year for CarPlay, surprising many of us after years of middling updates. Among the host of new CarPlay features coming in iOS 26, there’s a key fix for what’s long been the most annoying Messages issue for me: the lack of tapbacks support.

Venezuela’s president thinks American spies can’t hack Huawei phones

During a press conference on Monday, Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, showed off a Huawei smartphone that China’s President Xi Jinping gifted him, calling it “the best phone in the world,” and making a bold claim. “The Americans can’t hack it, neither their spy planes, nor their satellites,” Maduro said.

Though she came from a scholarly and successful family (her father was a bishop), Peck’s chequered ed
