No, just someone that responded to my comment earlier. Apparently I need to start volunteering in my community more because I don’t think Gnome looks good, as if I didn’t just cook and distribute meals with my local food not bombs yesterday 🙄

Oh absolutely no judgement on the people that use it, it’s just that’s the design language it reminds me of. I typically use KDE on bare metal Linux installs and xfce on my VMs, but like 99% of my Linux usage is in a full screen terminal running tmux so at the end of the day the desktop environment I’m running doesn’t matter at all.

And yeah I completely get the aversion to changing a set up that works.

GNOME looks like if Fisher-Price made a My First Linux Desktop baby toy, it just bothers me for some reason.

I use git to sync my md notes instead of obsidians paid sync service also. I’ll never go back to proprietary non-text based notes files.

Wait, so how does that work for games that store saves in ‘c:\users%user%\my documents’ and stuff? That’s why I assumed they’d also need a separate user account on the pc.

If that was the issue then doing two separate user accounts on the PC, then having a primary steam account (the existing one with all the games) and a secondary new one, and putting them into a Steam family together just like the person I replied to said would be functionally equivalent to yall having two separate PCs with your own steam accounts when it comes to saves and steam achievements and stuff, but you only need to buy and install the game once. It’ll also let you have separate config files so if one person like controls bound one way and the other another you’re not having to rebind each time yall swap who is playing and everything.

Edit - I, as an adult, took shrooms then accidentally overwrote my dad’s Skyrim save file on his PS3 back in the day and I felt terrible about it :/. I totally understand how annoying save handling can be.

What games have you played that prompted the complaint you brought up regarding sight reading? I’m the same way, and sometimes I find I have to turn subtitles off because I want to actually enjoy the voice acting instead of skipping through everything. The Witcher 3 was especially hard for me in this regard, along with Baldour’s Gate 3. I just started Clair Obscur the other day, and I’m really enjoying the way they subtitle each line out into pretty short chunks because I’ve found I’m much better able to actually listen to the dialogue with their way.

I’m trying to think of a game I’ve played where I have the opposite problem, the one you’re describing where you can’t skip dialogue sections, and I’m coming up blank. Not trying to say you’re wrong, I’m just really curious at this point. I mostly play RPGs and online FPS games, maybe thats part of why I can’t think of an example?

I had to force the PS5 glyphs by creating a Game.ini file and inserting the appropriate lines to get the ps instead of Xbox button glyphs for my ds4 in Clair obscur the other day. It was definitely annoying.

Thanks to searching for a solution to that I found a mod to remove the abysmal sharpening, uncap cutscene frame rate, and remove pillar boxes on my 21:9 display though, so it all worked out.

Since they just have the one pc, they should be able to just make a second user on the pc then sign in to the single steam account. The new user won’t have any save files in the local user directories, so the game gets launched and you’ll only see the “second” set of saves. No idea how this would work with cloud saves on the steam side though.

Yes it means those domains can only been resolved though their DNS servers.

That’s probably the major recent drop off, but I’m kind of surprised to see a downward trend since 2017 (COVID spike aside).

I should start twitch streaming myself watching other twitch streamers stream. I’ll be the biggest streamer streamer I’ll be rich.

I truly don’t understand why ParrotOS was created when Kali already existed. I guess HTB didn’t want to (or couldn’t get a license to) run Kali in browser VM’s since it’s maintained by their competitor? Idk.

I slept on swapping my 5800X to a 5800X3D, now I’m just kinda stuck until prices come down and I can upgrade to whatever socket AMD is on by that time.

True. Then I guess I’ll just fall back to dumping it on a subnet that null routes everything outbound, and use like an Apple TV or a shield or something for all the content.

I have tricks too. My firewall forcibly redirects any outbound request on port 53 to the internal ip of my pihole. You’ll take my dns and you’ll like it Roku.

Connect it to WiFi but dump it in a subnet that’s not allowed to send traffic out? That’s wild though.

Wow I didn’t know that I was leading this whole time.

I absolutely cannot wear non-matching socks lol. I have some socks that have the brand name on the outboard left and right sides of the socks. I can’t wear two left socks or two right socks or whatever. I feel unbalanced the entire time. That’s wild how it’s like the same, but the opposite also.

He’s glazing Bungie so hard I thought he was an actual Bungie employee lol. Bro’s crashing all the way tf out, he might need some meds or therapy or something.
