Doesn’t Natsume own Harvest Moon?

Eh, at least you can still take notes very easily and reinstall DE later.

can we go back?

No!

According to this Blu-ray has some of the worst expected shelf life, with the exception of BD-RE.

I’d prefer GNU’s ddrescue just because I find it more robust and has better progress output. It’s functionally the same interface but lets you use a mapfile to resume sessions should anything happen to interrupt the copy.

Arguably I’m against this because you never know what’s going to happen and the conventional wisdom for appliances like this is to just backup any important configs, backup your containers and vms, then do a fresh install from the latest install media on the new disk followed by a restore of the backups. It might take a little more time but it’s negligible and allows you an opportunity to review your current configs, make necessary changes, and ensure your backups are working as intended.

Gran Turismo 4
Dirt Rally 2 Forza Horizons 4

And the godking itself, Burnout 4 Revenge and its understudy Burnout 3.

Bonus point to Extreme-G and G2.

I’m also going to mention Generally. It was a tiny game with a small dedicated community but gods damn if it wasn’t just super fun to make maps and play community created events/maps/contests.

Nah, there was never a plan. That’s the whole idea. Remember he was president. He tried to kill ACA without a replacement, always promising a replacement is coming before during and now after his 4 years.

I might be in the minority but Chappie was a really good movie. It’s a real bummer Die Antword were so horrible to work with that the director kinda gave up on it.

Has no one here played Super Mario Bros? 1985… or donkey Kong? 1981. Pac-Man? 1980. Space invaders? 1978. So many classics, all playable today with MAME or even still working systems or perfect emulation!

For steam, it’s identical to windows. Literally do nothing other than install steam, install game, and hit run. The only time it’s a problem is if a game offers a native Linux version but the native version has been hamstrung by the publisher (see: rocket league). In which case all you do is go to the properties of the game, force a proton version, and it will redownload the windows version and work just fine. The only other exception would be for multiplayer games that have not upgraded their anticheat version to one compatible with proton. That’s starting to be more rare thanks to steamdeck.

As for wine, Lutris is a great example of an application with community maintained/driven configurations for popular games and applications to be installed in a couple simple clicks and works the majority of the time.

For other applications, it really depends. My general rule is— if it’s not on steam and nobody has made a script for Lutris, I’ll look for native and open source alternatives. If I can’t find one, then look for instructions on setting it up with wine by hand as a last resort. Finally, can I just live without the app instead?

I’ve literally thrown my back out trying to suppress sneezes. I gave up trying years ago, I’m a scream sneezer through and through. Dracula barely helps but at least it’s more sanitary.

Talk about your interests. Show a passion for your hobbies outside of work/the industry. Relate those passions to your goals within the industry. Generally just be interested and they’ll find you interesting. You got this!

Update edit: Congrats on the offer!

My remedy has always been to eat a banana every once in a while and drink a glass of water before bed.

Still waiting for the latest steamOS iso to put in my desktop… switched to endeavourOS in preparation so I get used to the arch experience. Still eager to check it out when it does eventually release but this system has been fantastic for gaming.

Tell that to Microsoft!

bool?

An asterism! Very cool and Unicode standard! I’m on board.

Had no idea they had mod kits! Definitely gonna grab this and the N64 kit.

In my experience, token limits mean nothing on larger context windows. 1 million tokens can easily be taken up by a very small amount of complex files. It also doesn’t do great traversing a tree to selectively find context which seems to be the most limiting factor I’ve run against trying to incorporate LLMs into complex and unknown (to me) projects. By the time I’ve sufficiently hunted down and provided the context, I’ve read enough of the codebase to answer most questions I was going to ask.

Summer: $0.118 / kwh first 600kwh, $0.136 600+ Winter: $0.132 / kwh first 600kwh, $0.144 600+

I averaged the last 3 years for these.

My go-to is just “my radio” on Apple Music because it plays a large variety of hits and deep cuts of music in my library / that I like while sprinkling in new and old stuff that I don’t have or haven’t heard. I’ve discovered so many great songs and artists over the years by just asking Siri to “play some music” it’s effectively endless good music that can be switched up any time if I want a different vibe by simply re-asking the same question or saying “play something different”.

Otherwise a solid go-to for me is the lofi beats to study to radio and many of its sub-specialties like lofi synthwave or lofi jazz or even lofi christmas.

Fuckin’ Degens from upcountry

I feel like you don’t understand how running a business works or being a major platform creator works…

The odd config files on inconsistent drive should just be symlinks (I think you want hard links?) so that your repo can contain all your actual code and file tracking. If necessary, keep a script on hand that can be run when mounted to recreate broken links.

This is a very strange setup and goes against standard practice separation of software and hardware unless this is some embedded thing in which case you wouldn’t have a repo on it at all.

Anyone got an invite code?

Haven’t lost either pair of the gen 1 or gen 3 I own. Accidents happen, let people enjoy the things they want when it doesn’t affect you in any way.

I get that, it’s a valid point. But in OOP, objects can be things and do things. That’s kinda the whole point. We’re approaching detailed criticism of contextless development concepts though so it kinda doesn’t matter.

Properties are great when you can cache the computation which may be updated a little slower than every time it’s accessed. Getter that checks if an update is needed and maybe even updates the cached value then returns it. Very handy for lazy loading.

Maybe nobody keeps a complete file? That way no one machine can keep a complete copy of anything let alone access it if it was stored in a single chunk of storage cryptographically? There’s already so much risk for hosts here not sure there’s a way to be safer without invasive technologies.

Fun tidbit, DuckDuckGo has a bang for it, I use it all the time.

!a2

A2 has been changing a lot over the years. I have found it’s UX to be going in the wrong direction and it feels like it’s on a path towards too much ad monetization and spoiled trust. For now it seems fine still but it does list alternatives to itself which could use some love and support along the way as A2 grows.

You either want mastodon which has a higher proportion of thoughts and conversations, or a classic forum which is entirely dedicated to long form thoughts and discussions.
