Just (re) started Dead Space after not playing it for 10-15 years. Still good, still enjoy, why buy when I can just replay games I’ve forgotten the story to?

Same for Control a few months ago… And I’m sure others.

Came here to post this… even though I haven’t seen it yet (it’s on the list!)

This was me on Sunday… And then also on Monday after replacing the cap and then realizing that the fan motor was janky (which might be what caused the cap to fail)

Promise in one hand, shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.

I cut my teeth on Linux when red hat was trying to make things “user friendly” with control panel like guis but they consistently couldn’t do what I wanted so I had to learn the terminal anyway.

25+ years later, I’ll use a gui if it works and it’s easy, but I still have trust issues that I don’t have with a config file. You put shit in a config file, it’s going to do what you asked (right or wrong) or sigterm trying… And I appreciates that.

That said, I do mostly gui config on my daily driver these days. Servers however… No gui, no problem.

At least you didn’t have to worry about Ruin manipulating it.

… Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”

Don’t mind me, I’m just going to keep up voting these posts because they’re so well done.

I’m old but the shortest my hair has been in the past 35 or 40 years is shoulder length. Every other spring I have the spouse chop it off to shoulder length then let it go again for two years.

I’m also in Arkansas.

But, not a kid so I guess it’s okay for me to be my filthy hippie / sasquatch self according to this proposal.

Yeah… I should expand. The penguins are just my favorite part of those movies and it matches the Linux motif that I started with yet falls apart, you know, when I name a windows laptop rico-w : P

1901-01-01? Me too!

Good to meet you birthday buddy

Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.

Unfortunately there’s only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I’ve got an old windows laptop kicking around that is “rico-w”

… I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.

I’d believe this in a heartbeat.

Especially when vi is better

Fight me🤺

(I kid, I kid, but not entirely ;)

It’s fine.

The occasional complaint I see is not enough that I’ve considered moving and I don’t even remember what those were. But the great thing about the fediverse is that you can move if you want!

I’ll find something else to screw up and cause it to break, don’t worry.

We’re a small household with minimal laundry so 5 gallons is more like a 10 year supply for us… I’m here for it : D

I replayed it on Deck a month or two back… And then Blue Shift. Still in my library from when I bought the Orange Box pre steam and then eventually registered it with my steam account

You ever revisit an old problem, search it, find someone with the exact problem and as you read it think “yes… YES! This person has my exact same problem! Wait, the tone sounds familiar…”

Only to realize you found your own post from an old throwaway account? With no replies.

Because I have. It’s soul crushing.

I just enjoy that I can call them “xbone”

Last time I had free time and was looking for a new game someone told me “Get Control. Just get it. Trust me.”

My trust was not misplaced. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Edit: Later I tried AW1 and didn’t really care for it much (mostly because i sucked really bad at it) until I started using “all guns” cheats so I could play it like a horror/action. Then I enjoyed it.
