I'll probably pick up Enoch at some point too. I bought a cool reproduction of the original King James bible at an antique junk market for cheap last month. I just saw it and thought it was cool. It's basically the original book as it was printed with all the margins, the fancy letters, etc. It had the apocrypha in it (not Enoch, but the apocrypha as printed in the original KJ bible. To this point I had no idea that was even a thing. I grew up going to church and had never heard of that in my life.
I remember the first time I went to Europe I came back and got something sweet and it about knocked me down with how sweet it was.
Recently have cut almost all that uber-processed shit in American food to near zero, and I feel like a different person. American food standards are just bad.
I think the last fiction book I read was the second Monster Hunter book. It's been a month or so. I've been reading the bible and some random short non-fiction things among being a bit busy.
I think I'm going to pick up The Hunt for Red October soon. I've been in the mood for some of that like military thriller stuff and I think that fits the bill. There was some obscure stuff I've read in the past but never really went into that genre a ton.
Is that Caitlin Clark a tranny? I keep wondering why I hear so much about her/it. What is so interesting?
You know, I get it, a business likely needs to be in the banking systems to operate. It's not like this woman was running a boring business doing interior decorating and shit happened. Yet in this case, this person is intentionally going into something controversial, and they bank with Bank of America and do nothing for asset diversification and protection?! What did they expect to happen? It reminds me of the lead up to January 6 I was seeing people, "We got our plane tickets and hotel right on the Capitol Mall, yay! We will go support the greatest President!" Totally ignoring that it was so obviously a trap.
I'm in engineering at a corporation, there's never much interest in such things in those groups. The sales and marketing types (extremely woman dominated) come around with this shit "omg get excited, it's fun!" No, fun would be letting me get back to doing my job so I can go home and do what I find fun. I do not want to do "team building", "exciting kickoff meeting", and what not.
I have no idea, that's the only time I've bothered to engage with the latest crop. There always seems to be at least one going around on here.
I remember making a long cable with RJ-12 to serial port adapters for local games, file transfer, etc. I also remember calling friends on the phone ahead of time to set up what we are going to play on a modem before connecting. Then having to let everyone know I'm playing a game, don't touch the phones or it will drop, and it did, often.
So I guess I'm old?
Yeah, I’d really prefer not use Debian-based at all. I only tried Xubuntu because of that. I started with Manjaro first. I’ll probably just run with Xubuntu at this stage at least until I get used to the in-and-outs of gaming on Linux.
I’m curious, how much of your personal game collection natively supports Linux, versus support via Wine, etc.?
Anyone that hasn't checked them out before, they go way back. A lot of the people here weren't even born when Ys I came out, yet they were putting out bangers like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkyOs1Mj7Cc on PC FM synth chips.
I don't have much that I bought anymore. Then the files on my Plex are a mess.
As to music though irrespective of what I have, this is probably my top 10 that I actually listen to the most, in no particular order. I don't necessarily like everything from any of them though: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Alice in Chains, System of a Down, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, Johnny Cash, Beethoven, Chopin
Doesn't really fit together, but it's mostly accurate to listening time spent. The list could go on and on.
It's video game soundtracks for Falcom games (Japanese dev). They are fantastic though. Half the reason to play Falcom games.
What about bomb vests? Commemorative vests embroidered with the olympic rings and the name of allah. Perfect for use by the Paris residents to put on a "celebration of peace."
It's a tough one, because if they work, they work great. When they don't....boy you are in for a hell of a ride if you want to just try to fix them.
I'm going to possibly grab another SSD and dual boot this summer and see where I can go with it. Will be a little shocked if I can move all my games, but I'm closer than I think to pushing 75% to Linux. What I don't like is Steam only supports Ubuntu by default. I did boot Xubuntu last week off a USB and got Half Life playing in probably 20 mins though.
Already use Linux 100% at my desk, so that helps.
I'm not a Rumble shill, but I don't log into Youtube on my desktop so rather than messing with the NSFW Youtube, I looked for others.
Here's a Rumble link that doesn't require login: https://rumble.com/v4t22f5-hate-crime-hoax-stabbed-with-a-palestinian-flag-for-being-a-jew.html
Ugh, I need to figure out how all these open source devs survive so I can make a fork of Linux free of stupidity. I already ditched DeLesbian for the direction their stuff was going.
Nothing artificial about it. I’d love more co-op games. I don’t want to play PvP with my friends, and even in the days that I did we had plenty of games and ways to avoid the sweat and grind of a modern PvP game. It’s very difficult to chill and screw around in a modern PvP game unless you like burning most of your time in pre and post game stuff watching the suck my dick emotes they paid real money for then sitting in a lobby for 15mins for all this click ready shit, then half the games you gotta go to a warmup area then fly in and parachute, it goes on and on.
Haven’t tried Helldivers, but I played through all of Outlast Trials with a friend and despite being a tough horror game it was a blast.
So is the goal here acceleration? Is there a better UK party than conservatives?
I'm not sure I want acceleration where I am, I'm more for delaying the inevitable or at least leaving it in the shithole parts of the country that actually want it. Although I've decided I won't be voting for a few DC spots in the general elections. I'll take acceleration any day over the "everything sucks why even try I'm just going to waste away and I die" doomers.
There’s too many sparkling wiggles at the party.
Yeah, that was years ago.
I actually took a bit of time I had free this afternoon and actually pulled the trigger on putting Linux on my laptop. It's a Microsoft Surface of all things. It's working fine after a couple manual things specific to making the touchscreen work on a Surface. I didn't even spend an hour. I've still got some minor software to set up, but I don't use that for much really so it will happen in time.
If I go as far to take the charges against Trump at face value and as the whole and complete truth, it still looks like nothing more than anyone in DC does. This is the worst thing they can present to show me this guy is the most abhorrent criminal in the history of US politics? Holy shit, oh no Trump paid a stripper to be quiet. Is that even illegal? I mean yeah, I question his moral character at times. What is the alternative, Biden? Hahahaha yeah let's see which would I prefer, paid a whore or a lot of things covered up that appear to be pedophilia? Yeah, I'll take a thousand whores over that.
Technicality question: How would I go about boycotting Israel from here in Texas? Do I not eat kosher or something?
Oh that's a Gearbox game? They don't need any sweet babies. It's already going to be ruined.
