It’s been a long time since a game came along that tickled the same neurons as Minecraft. And by “a long time” I mean “never”. Oh sure there are the great builders – the Sim Cities and the Civilizations of the world, but in terms of sheer mechanical, constructive gameplay, Minecraft stands alone, and since I haven’t even scratched the surface of redstone I suspect it will keep on giving.
But Factorio looks like it might just push many of the right buttons…

Alpha 1.9: Since it’s been a while, have a quick Picsie update – images now show tooltips when you hover over them.
Available, as always, from the main Picsie page
I just noticed that animated GIFs aren’t being released when you move on to another image. Fixed now.
Alpha 1.8 (30 November 2010)
Changelog
For a full changelog, see the main Picsie page.
Picsie how has a taskbar icon in Windows 7, to take advantage of the shiny new taskbar system.
Alpha 1.7 (18 November 2010)
Changelog
For a full changelog, see the main Picsie page.
Well, that was a bit embarrassing… All that effort to pre-compute a decent zoom level for images when you load them, and then completely ignoring it. Oops, fixed now.
Alpha 1.6 (13 October 2010)
Changelog
For a full changelog, see the main Picsie page.
Nice little update to Picsie for you.
Alpha 1.5 (26 September 2010)
Just made a quick update to Picsie – larger images wouldn’t zoom to fill the screen properly, this has been fixed. At some point I’ll stop being lazy and deal with the “forms can’t be much bigger than the screen” limitation…
Alpha 1.4 (4 September 2010)
Picsie has a minor new feature – a little UI improvement to make it easier to load more than one window at once.
When you load an image or video with Picsie, it checks to see if any other Picsie windows are open. If not, it opens in the middle of the screen. If Picsie is already running, it opens wherever Windows puts it, so it doesn’t cover the previous window.
