Question, what do you all prefer, image 1 more spacious and two rows, or image 2 as compact as possible to show more data on screen? (and why?)

Image 2 for the same reasons others have mentioned. The post-run setup time takes up a lot of space and I wonder if it's even relevant enough to include. Instead, potentially hide it behind full-view toggles, like a narrow horaro window would. And I'd love to have no line breaks in console names. 🥲

tl;dr: I'm moving @goldsplit.news away from Substack and will be taking a longer break to do that properly, implement some changes, and set us up for at least another year. There's a survey included and if you're a (regular) reader I'd loOoOoOoOove to hear from you. 💛💛💛

It's been a while, but I finished XIII a few weeks ago! I really didn't enjoy the first 30 hours, but it got quite decent after that, so I almost want to rank it in two different parts. Based on the entire experience though... VI > XII > IX > X > VII > V > VIII > XIII > IV > III > II > I

It had sort of a meme status in our group just because of the cover. One friend then gifted each of us a box at a meet-up a few years ago.
