I always had a soft spot for DreamWeb.

I used to play this a lot. It had peculiar but fun physics and the vehicles all handled very differently from each other, all in all a really cool arcade racing game.
But what about prions?
To anyone interested the picture is of le sapeur from Congo. Look it up, these guys are awesome.
I am probably the only person on the planet who never had an issue with either W10 or W11 and their installation. The only Windows that truly sucked in my life were W95, WME and 8. I occasionally dual boot OpenSUSE with xfce for some dev stuff, but Windows has always been my daily driver and I'm so used to it I have bloody tears in my eyes when I look at your KDEs and Gnomes, which are in my opinion absolutely horrible environments. These days I more often than not use WSL2 from under Windows even, might as well just use Linux cli tools if their GUI stuff sucks so bad.
I hate this stereotype. Psychopaths are often socially well adapted.
Good stuff! Love the webdesign on this one.
Not as cute as cats, nuff said.
These kind of bastards is what gives us fellow ebike enjoyers a bad rep. Now I'm not saying "we aren't all like that", however, isn't it the whole point? Like I mean there are enough of these menaces to warrant some sort of prohibition. But then isn't it also a kind of diversion from the main topic of corrupt city planning and availability of proper bike lanes? I mean sure go ahead and blame it on the end user, not the provider.

That's a perfect present, how thoughtful of your wife. Love the colour too, I'd probably get the same.
I feel like early Legend Entertainment games are a perfect gateway to interactive fiction since they do have some graphics and interface while still being primarily text-driven. My personal favourite is Frederik Pohl's Gateway series (books are amazing too), but you could check out Spellcasting 101 and Eric the Unready which are available on GOG.
And if we're talking classics I'd recommend Babel for starters, it uses very modern game design without softlocks and unfair fail states, almost entirely narrative driven with simple and satisfying puzzles sprinkled in.
Otherwise I'm a huge fan of anything by Andrew Plotkin.
Not a huge fan of Zork, it's so rough to play these days without a guide. Maybe other Infocom games should be played first, like Planetfall, it's relatively not so player hostile.
