@Cheeseness I do find it pretty funny now that I know the term, but I wish the game made sure that I know it first ;)

@Cheeseness And sure, there's a lot of other jokes I didn't get in those games because of lack of cultural frame of reference, but I think this was the only one that made me lose so much time :D

@Cheeseness Weird and unexpected is perfectly fine and actually the reason I love MI so much, but this one was more like "that must be some kind of a joke and I'm missing it".

And no, I'm not really talking about specific tropes. It's more like "ah, so that's how he hid the map!" vs. "uhm, ok, apparently that pump is monkey-operated for some reason???"

@Cheeseness Also, the telescope puzzle kinda makes sense. Sure, it's adventure game logic, but putting a telescope into a designated place so its light beam uncovers a secret is a thing that you could imagine happening in a detective novel. Since I wasn't aware of the term "monkey wrench", the animation that happened after I finally looked the solution up made no sense to me - I didn't know what was going on, how did I end up there and what role the monkey had in it at all :D

@Cheeseness I don't recall being stuck for a long time not having a slightest clue of what am I supposed to do in relation to telescope puzzle. Could be related to the fact that I likely had the telescope in my inventory when I encountered this puzzle, but I didn't have Jojo (nor even realized that I could pick him up in the first place) when I stumbled upon that pump.

@elias Mobian isn't behind. You can grab betas from Debian's experimental there.

@Cheeseness @lritter I guess it's the differrence between an aha moment ("aaah, that makes sense, clever! should have thought about it earlier!") and a confusion moment ("why the hell did it work? how were I supposed to figure it out on my own?")

@Cheeseness No and no. I don't remember whether I looked the solution up or found it by clicking stuff randomly, but all I had in my mind afterwards was "WTF" and "how the hell was I supposed to solve that?" :D

You can also see the latter thing on a video:

phoc 0.21.0~beta1 is now out, improving several aspects of touch gestures in phosh and making scale-to-fit settings apply immediately at runtime. Grab it from https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/releases/v0.21.0_beta1 #gnomeonmobile #librem5 #phosh #gnome #mobile #gnu #linux

@trregeagle @kyle @purism This one is Baseus Mate GN16A. There's also DIGITUS DA-70882, which is the same thing with different branding.

@trregeagle @kyle @purism Actually, assuming that there's a table edge right behind the monitor on the video, you could in fact set the cables up in a way that would effectively hide them, since that dock has power input and HDMI connectors at its back, and the rest could be connected via Bluetooth :D

@trregeagle @kyle @purism I have basically the same setup as on that video - the only difference being that the cables are actually there ;)

Dyzio may let you try it out, but judging from the look on his face you'll have to solve a set of his riddles first.
