So I recently received one of these and installed Ubuntu MATE on it (the manufacturer claimed that it was tested on the device). It's five years out of date, despite still being on the market, but I always wanted a UMPC ever since the OpenPandora. Now I can do desktop PC things while waiting to be seated at restaurants.

Expect a review soon.

I was planning on having at least two games done this year, but I feel like the game I'm developing right now won't be finished this year.

CaveStory celebrated it's 20th anniversary a few days ago and I feel envious of Daisuke Amaya because he didn't have to deal with drama like every other indiedev has to deal with these days. He also got his game done in 5 years despite having a full-time job and a child.

It seems like most of the RPG Maker games out there are fan games or parody games. It's also used a lot by children who have really ambitious ideas, but immediately get hit in the face with the reality of the program's limitations.

People try to make "practice games" in anticipation of creating their dream games, but the practice games are uninspired and life gets in the way.

It seems like what really holds people back when it comes to gamedev isn't the lack of design, programming, or art experience. It's not playing a diverse amount of games to truly appreciate the medium.
