Yesterday I played two rounds of Noita. The first round was going very well, I got some good spells, a good amount of money and I made it to the second Holy Mountain with quite a lot of life left. At the second Holy Mountain I picked up a perk that gave me four spidery legs that allowed me to climb and stick to walls and ceilings, which was pretty useful.
At least, it seemed useful until I realized I had lost the ability to fly. Not being used to having my mobility restricted like that I died pretty quickly after into the third area.
In the second round I decided to just go deep as fast as possible. I got the telekinesis perk, which is awesome as flying debris does a ton of damage to enemies, one-shotting basically all of them. At least, if you hit them and they don't destroy the projectile while you're holding it. Except the one that was seemingly immune to kinetic damage and ended up killing me because I had no good wands to fall back on.
Today I told my kid she was allowed a bit more screen time if she played something educational. She decided to play Treasure MathStorm!, a game from my childhood that I had shown to her. She had played it in a browser emulator before but when she started it up all her progress was lost (even though I had tested it before to make sure it could save).
So I decided to get a local copy and get the Dutch version while I was at it. I thought it would just be a matter of getting a copy and running it in Dosbox, as that was what the website emulator did, but it turned out that the Dutch version was only ever released for Windows. Cue me spending several hours getting Windows 3.1 installed in Dosbox (with a switch to Dosbox Staging as apparently the regular Dosbox is obsolete), installing drivers, getting the game installed and then making a custom shortcut that loads directly into the game.
But it works! Now to get some more DOS and old Windows games to show my kid what I had to work with when I was her age.
