Did the person happen to have a southern accent?

As someone from the south, that’s what “healthy” means when used to describe an amount of something. It means “a lot”.

Also, if you say someone looks healthy you’re basically calling them fat, depending on tone of voice and inflection.

Morrowind!

It’s such an amazing game and such a break from reality. There is tremendous depth there, if you go and look for it, but you can also just dungeon dive and smack monsters in the face with a sword if you want.

Check out OpenMW for a great, easy to use, source port of the game engine.

Yes! Link to the Past is a brilliant game - definitely one of my favorite games of all time.

I second the recommendation of Link’s Awakening and Link Between Worlds since you liked this one so much.

I love Deus Ex. This is extremely disappointing news.

Morrowind is the height of the series for me and one of my favorite games of all time. But the level of detail and fidelity in Daggerfall is just staggering.

Any town with a wall around it in Oblivion is instanced.

Also, you have correctly recognized Morrowind’s superiority. I highly recommend the Tamriel Rebuilt mod that adds a lot of the land mass of the rest of the province outside of the island of Vvardenfell!

I’m with you there. I noticed someone shoplifting at a Walmart near me about a year ago. I took a second look and realized the stuff they were stealing was all food.

I decided I didn’t see anything at all.

I figure anyone stealing food probably needs that food and is in tough financial shape.

It’s kinda the same with Brave. Just take 2 seconds to turn off the crypto thing and forget it was ever there.

I’m primarily a Firefox user but keep Brave around for Chromium-based browser testing.

Just turn it off, folks!

All Creatures Great and Small.

It’s sappy as fuck. And I love it.

I’ve chosen DS9-era Chief Miles O’Brien as my model for my 40s, personally.

I’m 42 and have avoided being cloned, time travel anomalies, and being virtually imprisoned pretty successfully so far.

I’m a developer, but my career has been very web-focused. What languages would I need to learn to contribute to KDE apps?

Cloudpunk - A cyberpunk driving/walking simulator with a good story, great voice acting, LEGO-inspired graphics, and a Blade Runner inspired soundtrack. It’s dripping with atmosphere and I wish I could play it again for the first time.

I write C# for a living and I’m the same - Windows at work, Linux at home.

I use VSCode on both OSes. On Linux, I only use VSCode for C# and I have the MS-free version for any other languages I want to use.

I also use VSCode 95% on my work laptop which is a Windows machine. The extension Ms are really good and the dotnet CLI is pretty robust. There are also extensions that can help you deploy stuff to Azure too.

Almost 10 years into my own Linux journey, I’m feeling the pull to Debian.

I’m just hanging out in denial right now on Pop OS.

Turn based strategy games. Especially 4X games like Civilization or the Master of Magic remake.

Grim Dawn.

You beat me to it. The Deck is great but we have to be realistic about the limits of the hardware.

It’s not like it gets to break the rules because it’s popular!

Like EndeavourOS!

That is, indeed, a LOT of things!

Endeavour is great. I would also advise taking a look at the KDE version of Fedora.

I mean, I’m kind of hoping for a Star Trek DS9 jumpsuit uniform future, personally.

Yes, please!

Berserk is a favorite of mine! I don’t have a VCS but I wouldn’t mind one…

Asking the real questions here.

I’m a programmer! I use Linux and Windows. In fact, I’m now in my second job in a Microsoft shop (and no, neither were/are .NET…). And I’ve had exactly zero jobs where I was issued or allowed to use a Linux machine.

I buy all my hardware, laptop and desktop parts, for these reasons.

Hehe, yeah. Missed a word there!

Yeah, obviously not great. Hence why I only use it for testing.

I would love to ignore Chromium based browsers completely I’m a web developer, so I can’t.

I wish there were a Chromium browser I could have the warm fuzzies about, but I’m not aware of one.

Came here to say this. Great show!

Yeah, I’m a Pop user and like what they do with Gnome now. I can’t wait to see what it’s like when the desktop isn’t limited by the Gnome extension system.

Honestly, I don’t even try native versions (when they exist) for most games. I go straight to Proton or Lutris.

The Bioneer on YouTube has some pretty good body weight/minimal equipment routines that I have found to be helpful.

Thanks, I’ll look into that. KDE is awesome and it would be fun to contribute in some small way.

The best driving game on the Atari 2600 - Enduro

Sorry, I meant south like Mississippi.

I bought that game and haven’t started it yet. But your description of it makes me want to do it now!

Personally, I think the Anbernic handhelds are the sweet spot if you don’t have a Steam Deck.

It took a little experimentation to get video settings right, but Solasta is great on the Deck.

Maybe I am the duplicate!?!?

I came here for this answer. Thank you kind internet stranger!
