The Multi-Medium

Video games are almost never solely about their gameplay, but the overall experience they provide. In fact, some games have gameplay that serves merely as a vehicle for providing the player with the ability to have the experience. A perfect example of this is found in The Multi-Medium. An indie game built entirely around the idea of interdimensional travel between vastly different worlds, worlds which each have totally different art and music styles, a unique gameplay gimmick of their own, and completely different moods and themes. All while featuring platformer gameplay which most people would agree is serviceable at best. It’s not about the play mechanics. It’s about the journey.

Alright, gamers – grab your hats (or better yet, unlock them in-game) because FrogSpin is almost here. It’s about to turn your platforming expectations upside down.

Developed by the creative minds at Venturous, FrogSpin is a wild new physics-based roguelike platformer. It is where chaos, charm, and croaky dreams collide. And the best part? It’s coming soon to Linux at just $9.99 USD. That’s less than a fancy sandwich—and way more fun.

You’ll take control of an adorable wind-up frog with one goal: bounce through the bizarre, fruit-tiled world and prove that even a little mechanical hopper can become a legend. Sounds easy? Think again. Every level throws something unexpected your way—spinning slot machines decide your fate, dishing out modifiers like gusty winds, slippery rain, balloon gravity, or whatever wild challenge the game decides to hit you with. No two runs are the same, and that's where FrogSpin really shines.

The controls? Super simple—just two buttons. Tap for a quick jump, hold for a mighty leap. Since it’s the kind of setup anyone can pick up in seconds. However, mastering it? That’s another story. Whether you’re threading the needle with pixel-perfect hops or launching yourself into a glorious disaster, it’s always entertaining. And yes, there will also be moments where you scream, laugh, and maybe cry—sometimes all at once.

FrogSpin - Announcement Trailer

Key reasons we’re all losing our minds:

Strategy meets slapstick – Precision platforming, accidental hilarity, and a thousand ways to say, “Wait, WHAT just happened?!”

Funky transformations – Turn into a speeding toy car, a drifting bubble, or a tile-smashing drill and tear up the map in new ways.

Slot machine chaos – Each FrogSpin level throws a dice roll of modifiers at you, due to keep every run fresh and surprising.

Point-chasing goodness – Grab shiny points, unlock awesome rewards, and feel that sweet rush of watching your score skyrocket.

Frog fashion, baby – From wacky hats to accessories with special powers, you’ll collect gear that’s not just stylish but useful across multiple game modes.

On top of all that, the visuals are straight-up delightful—vibrant, colorful, and full of quirky energy. This makes every hop feel like part of a Saturday morning cartoon.

So if you’re a Linux player and always on the hunt for something fresh, fun, and just the right amount of ridiculous, FrogSpin is your next big obsession. Wishlist it on Steam, get your buttons ready, and prepare to leap headfirst into a world of adventure for just $9.99 / £7.99 / 8,99€. In this world, one brave frog is just a few chaotic hops away from glory.

here's an app that uses your local area network to send files directly between devices without having to send it to a cloud server and back. it's faster and doesn't use up your data. use it

Node package Manager

Native to nodejs installation is npm itself. Its is very robust and get's the job done. But there is a better option. I would not say limitations of native npm is overcome by pnpm and its predecessor yarn. There are added features to npm and not necessarily limitations. I was using yarn until last month when I run into a codebase the was configured with pnpm. I have since used it for any project I have developed. To install pnpm you can visit their documentation, my prefered way is to use powershell or chocolately. Now chocolately or choco is an option when installing nodejs, if you did not install it then use the powershell command.

Visit pnpm and install using your preferred method.

Powershell command - Invoke-WebRequest https://get.pnpm.io/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | Invoke-Expression

Chocolately command - choco install pnpm

If you have to install a package manager then get chocolately or sccop. These will allow you to run an upgrade command when there is an update
