  • I haven’t spoken to him recently, and I no longer use Facebook which was the way I spoke to him in the past, but the only military person going for office school I was friends with was a boom operator on a refueling aircraft. Maybe that’s why I never experienced any bloodlust from him. Mostly if we discussed his service it was about the boom, about physical training he has to do anyway, etc.




  • Part of what got me off my ass to actually switch to Linux is that my Windows partition is on a 120gb drive. I don’t need to claim it, my games are on 2 2tb drives that are Linux based, and 1 1tb shared drive that I mostly use just 1 of the games on, plus a basic “other” drive. I haven’t been back in Windows for months, but I haven’t confirmed all my games work in Linux yet.

    Biggest priority is getting all the hotas buttons working for Elite.

    Been my experience with random people for like a decade or more. The only people I’ve run into who seemed to care was this elderly couple in Alabama (I was visiting, live in GA) where the wife always waited for her husband to open doors, and my sister-in-law who has my brother open doors for her.

    She also chastised me for not walking over to my mom’s door and opening it for her when we were all eating out once, to my mother’s confusion because she’s used to opening her own doors.











  • 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.
