Maxim 29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more. No less.

Nintendo will always care, especially since you can easily currently install emulators on stem deck, and I seriously doubt it would be impossible to install those on steam machine. Now aside from the emulation stuff, having another contender in the console market may always affect each of the companies simply because not everyone can afford all the consoles. Growing up the parents who raised me didn’t buy us a single console, so my first consoles were from the parent who only visited (divorce), in lieu of child support payments, and we generally only had one at a time until we started buying them ourselves.

If you’re on a limited budget, even with kids, you may only choose 1 or two consoles, and your choice may be the most “comprehensive”. While Nintendo makes excellent games for kids, it’s not like the PC market doesn’t have anything for kids. Plus new consoles in a market could convince publishers to expand that way too.

Well, he is a white kid in an affluent neighborhood (whole huge family affording vacation, large house), so he probably would have been treated better.

I hadn’t looked up what she looked like. Isn’t that Misa from Death Note, mentally ill homicidal stalker?

Then he whispers “keikaku doori…”

I mean, if you want my previously itchy butt you’re welcome to it.

For some of us it chaffed more with hair.

Man, people out here just lying what they feel like before doing a basic search. I have dumb ideas in my head from time to time too, but I look em up to see if I didn’t just hear something wrong first.

I do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.

Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.

As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.

I joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.

The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.

So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.

Update: exFAT gave me issues with another game so I ended up just making it a btrfs drive.

I drive an EV, use my e bike to shop, carry my own bags both bike and car, and have a portable collapsible basket for shopping if I use my car. No one has ever asked if or suggested that I’m gay.

In fact, I see more people assuming I have kids (I have none).

The decision mentions ARK, which has always been one of my arguments. It’s a survival builder with Dinos, but almost every creature is capturable/tamable in some way or another, aside from some bosses/special enemies. Ark has been around a while, and even added a stored in a ball like element years back, but it probably doesn’t exactly come to mind as a catch em all game for most people.

I’ve heard (as in, hearsay, so not reputable at all) that it may also be intended for emergency workers in case of a crash, but I still think that’s less likely than your explanation. If it were for emergency workers, you wouldn’t likely have it only on the rear window/bumper.

Remove the TV and movies and that’s my general cycle. I will occasionally watch an episode of something, and I will watch some movies eventually, but not often. Last movies I watched were K-pop Demon Hunters, and both Spiderverse movies. Can’t remember the last live action I’ve watched…

I once worked for a banking transaction company (or something like that, I did their network and telecom support, none of the actual business) and they had offices in Russia. I was told that since VPNs are more restricted there, but required for the business, they had to have a special application with the government to be allowed to have the site to site VPN work.

I imagine they’d try to do the same, as well as grant them another way to be in the pocket of or have some control over businesses. If the government has to approve your necessary security software, you’ll want to stay on their good side.

Most of my limited reddit usage is for work. I do IT work,and sometimes solutions can be found there, or at least hints. It’s still pretty low, maybe 10% or less of stuff I search for find actionable hit on reddit. Only other thing is stuff like comments on Tom Carey videos, which I do like to see. I know stuff like YouTube, insta,tiktok, etc will have em too, but sometimes I’m in the mood to see from multiple sources, and I don’t usually find those type of niche reactions on Lemmy. I do see fans of course, but not as often.

Definitely not for me. While an argument could be made he just wanted to explore the room,my cat very often just wants to be in rooms where people are. Because he occasionally pees in my room if I’m not looking (it’s rare, but has happened bout 5-6 times in the less than year we’ve owned him) I tend to keep him out of the room if I’m on meetings or doing something I can’t drop, plus overnight.

He will moan and complain some of those time, but if I open the door then go downstairs ne start doing something, he’ll follow me there too. He also sometimes just leaves the room if I use the bathroom, because no one is in it anymore. Though we kinda lucked out personalitywise anyway. He likes being picked up and held, and is often affectionate.

Hmm, it’s well enough known in my circles, and I’m the only Lemmy user of the bunch.

Hmm, I don’t recall ever doing age verification for Discord. Were older accounts grandfather’d in, or is it currently limited by region or something?

Everything left of themselves are radical to Facists. Alex Jones got a lot of leeway back in Bush days because people thought him being against Bush meant he was closer to center, but it was the opposite. Bush wasn’t terrible enough for Jones.

Same with Fuentes and Kirk really; groypers attacked TPUSA mostly for not being racist enough to Jews.
