"textContent": "I am currently working on my review for _Resident Evil_ , but I need to take some pictures and finish it up a little more! So far I tend to separate everything into the basics, art, gameplay, story, music and stuff; but I ended up turning this post into more of a retrospective about survival horror as a whole and bringing up the Romero movies and talking about the FMVs and other things and, basically it’s a work in progress and the kind of thing I could make into a video essay if I put more effort into it, so it’s not ready.\n\nFor now, this is a quick post about **what interested me today!** I have been thinking about renaming this not-very-official—since it doesn’t even have a tag yet—series, to include what’s actually in it—similar to how my weeknotes are not just titled “Weeknotes”, more like Andreas’ Linkdumps, I guess this is the same thing.\n\n## Some blogs I added to my RSS feed\n\n * I have followed and enjoyed Brandon’s Journal for a while, but during a short hiatus where he took it down, I ended up removing it from my FreshRSS feed. I realized when he returned months ago, but I forgot to add him back, that mistake has been corrected. Here’s a short post to get a taste for his writing!\n\n * Chris Smith’s website was not on my radar at all, but I often like to check who links back to me and noticed that he mentioned me on his monthly meanderings, where he appreciated the way I link back to posts I reply to, etc. In any case, I really liked the design and the fact he has a section for all his board games.\n\n * Last but not least! marmar22 was a fun find. I can’t recall where I found their site, I believe I was just looking for some ereader blogposts somewhere because I stumbled upon this review of some no brand ereader. The posts about organising photos felt kind of familiar as well.\n\n\n\n\nSo yeah! I won’t say I’ll read everything but it’s always fun to have more variety. As I write this there are 6689 unread articles on my FreshRSS instance…\n\n## A dumb web fediverse client\n\nThere are a lot of clients for the fediverse, from apps to terminals to web clients. Personally I mostly stick to the default web interface and to Tusky on my phone.\n\nBut Adele recently created a minimal web client that doesn’t rely on javascript and can run on ancient browsers and devices! She wrote a blogpost announcing it.\n\n## Into The Aether’s latest bonus episode!\n\nI you like the **Persona** games, you may be up to listening to a 5+ hours long deep dive into Personal 4 Golden, treat yourself and get into my favorite podcast of all time!\n\nPersonally, I’m skipping it until I play that series, more than happy to listen to their weekly episode, the latest of which also talks about the rumours around a remake of _The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time_ for the Nintendo Switch 2. This may make me buy that console at last, no doubt.\n\n## Linux user groups and updating my XTEINK X4\n\nI noticed that Crosspoint, the firmware I use on my XTEINK X4 recently had an update to 1.2 which introduced a couple features like a built-in EPUB optimizer, a way to turn text in current page to a QR code, and other goodies.\n\nLast time I mentioned how I had to use my dad’s laptop to flash the firmware due to missing permissions. This time I took the time to figure things out and realized that I simply had to add my user to the `uucp` linux group. After restarting my user session things went smoothly from there! A shame I need to use Chromium to run the web installer though.\n\n## Another TTRPG bundle…\n\nThere’s a Pathfinder Humble Bundle going on right now and my TTRPG friends are making me consider it yet again. I haven’t even had a second session of _Land of Eem_ yet, but things happen.\n\nIn any case, this bit is just to let you know, and tempt you to get it as well.\n\nReply to this post via email | Reply on Fediverse",
