for FF14, I use a separate launcher, XIVLauncher, just so I don't have to type my password in all the time, it saves it for me

Just the main weekly segment, there are usually other segments that don't get uploaded to YouTube (weekly rundown, And Now, small updates)

Shame, the early WMR headsets were a great non-Meta budget VR option. Loved my HP WMR and Samsung Odyssey+

"The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

It was their CEO's stated opinion around the turn of the millennium: https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/

This is for the primary, which matters even in blue states — their delegates to the nationwide party conference are worth just as much as the red states’.

Absolutely. I’m so much happier now that I’ve realized I’m trans (and have been transitioning for a while). For the first time in my life, I truly feel like myself.

I just own it at this point. If my friends actually care that I'm playing Naked Maid Symposium or whatever, that's on them

Arf!

The official launcher works through Wine now. In Lutris, it’s the “This is a clean, standard default installation.” option: https://lutris.net/games/genshin-impact/

Rome if you want to, Rome around the world

It’s been a while since I used it, but my choice on Linux was always Quod Libet, which is a smidge barebones but also really powerful (especially with tagging).

All hail the FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER

List of unusual deaths is a classic, but Enclave and exclave is a really subtly strange topic, and I just love how detailed it is.

This is the SAG-AFTRA picket schedule

Oh, definitely (and I even have a few of them), but I think Jupiter’s versions are a notch above most of them. They feel a bit more polished, IMO.

It’s a small, fun, free puzzle game featuring mostly women demons in suits: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1289310/Helltaker/

It’s “Brain Power” by NOMA

I’d kill for PC versions — they’re the only games that ever make me want to pick up my Switch instead of my Steam Deck.

Nope! All that option does is install the official launcher, the Visual C++ 2019 runtime, and some fonts. Anti-cheat is untouched.

Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream is pretty much the only ice cream I’ll eat, it’s sooooo ridiculously tasty.

I honestly don’t care what’s on reddit anymore — anyone left is likely not someone I’d want to be in a community with anyway, so it’s been easy to forget about it. (Had to go back today though to redelete my comments because they undeleted them, c’est la vie.)

Final Fantasy XIV (per usual), Dodgeball Academia (really good, reminds me a lot of Paper Mario without being a clone), Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 (very solid remake)

Neil Cicierega’s Mouth Silence (2014), just because how much is hidden inside it:

Throughout the album, you may have noticed quiet and eerie low bassy wind sounds, most noticeable at the beginning or end of several songs.

It isn’t wind.

We are talking jape of the decade. We are talking April, May, June, July & August fool.

I switched to DDG almost entirely because of the !w bang — Google massively downranking/hiding Wikipedia links made it a lot less useful to me.

The two I follow:

• Retro Game Mechanics Explained’s blog which has a bunch of deep dives into game mechanics (shockingly)
• The Dolphin emulator blog, because their progress reports are fascinating
