I write Linux guides, act and sing!

And do tech stuff.

And am weak.

And am a stereotypical nerd in almost every way.

B-but I don't play an instrument, so it TOTALLY doesn't count!

Factorio is a total slog to me. Which is funny, because my favorite game of all time is Satisfactory.

Teenager here, I regularly buy CDs at bagpipe concerts* because there's no unique bagpipe music on streaming services.

*Bagpipe concerts here means renn faire performances

Space, because I enjoy chaos.

3 meals a day is completely unnecessary, and just eating one large meal works just as well. Saves time, too. I can sleep in because no breakfast to worry about cooking, lunch can be used to just relax or do something else, and then dinner is larger, but cooking more of the same food doesn't generally take that much longer.

Kid drank thallium rat poison, in an attempt to commit suicide. Thing is, thallium doesn't kill you, it just makes you vomit a LOT. So they had to evacuate the classroom because there was a bunch of thallium and vomit everywhere.

The best part is we weren't allowed to leave for 2 hours, because this happened at like 10 and they still wanted the day to count for the school year.

I had the solution to the main game spoiled for me YEARS ago. I have the game sitting on an external hard drive, just waiting for my brain to forget.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a really good roguelike for mobile. Ton of variety, no ads, only thing you can buy is a supporter pack that gives the ui a different fringe color, and that doesn't get pushed.

Lotion. I have eczema, and when my doctor diagnosed me she said to "just get the biggest, cheapest bottle they have. All the same stuff."

As much as the US government sucks in this department, Turing was a UK citizen suffering under UK law, not US.

I fell off LTT once I fell into his massive pile of rich people problems videos. Like, there was one where he was complaining because his WiFi didn't reach to the gate of his mansion.

It's the little things. One of my biggest gripes is that EVERY TIME you run apt update, it shoves an add for Ubuntu pro at the bottom of tge output, which shoves all the info I actually care about offscreen. Pure bullshit. It sounds small, but when I need to check which packages are getting updated, it makes my life a bit more inconvenient. And I do most things through CLI, so I see this a lot.

Shit like that has been my entire experience with Ubuntu. I deeply regret switching to it, and I'm switching off as soon as I can get another hard drive to swap in.

They've got a lot of old manuals scanned in, so I use it to reference those a lot.

Anyone know if this is real? I can't find any info, but it sounds really cool

God, the fucking gamer rage around the Fable trailer was insane. They can't even take the idea of a woman not being traditionally attractive as a punchline. And to explain why woman no look good, they had to pull a story about a trans game dev being the model straight out their asses, because only one of them TRANS WOMEN could look slightly unattractive!

Here's a program I found my first day of using linux. It fixes your last point entirely.

Rotation doesn't imply the point of rotation is on the rectangle.

Automachef is the most unique factory game I've ever played. You make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on.

Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It's got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech.

Command line FTP is good enough for me.

Foot with tmux is my goto.

The Barkley Marathons

Very goofy race rules, I rewatch it every year or two

If I played Stardew I'd be all over this. Alas, I am not a farmer.

I bought SoD a while ago, and while I dont regret it, its gotten worse and worse. I use a laptop for everything, gaming included. The game has gone from running at a steadyish 30 fps (which is totally fine and usable, I don't understand high fps people) to being an unstable mess that maaaaaybe hits 20 fps if I stand still.

Even ignoring the gameplay issues, this game needs WORK.

What Remains of Edith Finch was the first game to make me cry. I think I played it when I was around 12, and it just kinda broke me for a few days, particularly Walter's story. Just an entire game of people trying and failing to escape their fate. The narration is pitch perfect. Edith sounds so real, and so tired.

The lab was full of bees, how else were we supposed to read the graphs?

Oh, then you're about to unlock phase 1, right? I'd say that's pretty much the biggest wall in the game. There are others, but the path to unlocking phase 1 is generally the biggest slog.

Who needs everyone? You only need 5. The other 4 can do whatever they want.

AccuWeather wants to buy the NOAA network, so they can have a monopoly

Freeways is a great game that makes me want to tear my hair out.

This would be a really cool standard! I only wish it would work here in the US, where our brake lights have to pull double duty as turn signals. But in sensible places like the countrirs in Europe, this would be dope!

Latish Gen Z here, it never really needed to click. Its been there the whole time, so it's just a norm part of life, like it's always been. Like, I get that it's insane, but it's not out of the norm for me, because it IS my norm. My parents were decently strict when I was little, but once I hit my tweens they gave me a LOT of slack.

Kubuntu, planning to switch to NixOS

Women are the last session today

How far in are you? If you haven't started unlocking the MAM tree, I'd start there.

...no? Fantasy Football has basis in the real world, with added game layers on top. D&D is entirely fictional.
