Congratulations OP!

About a year and a half ago I nuked my root partition with sudo rm -rf /*. Fun times.

As is tradition.

Hey those look nice and they’re nearby. Thanks for the find. I may have overlooked them in my exhaustion during my search. Thank you.

I haven’t yet but I was trying to avoid it. I wanted something bespoke, made by someone who isn’t being paid slave wages. I hope that doesn’t come off as arrogant.

Someone else suggested a clay pot modeled after the in-game ones and that’s a very neat idea.

Thanks for everything.

Thank you. Him dying was something I’ve been preparing for for a long time so it’s been more relief than anything. I miss him but I try to look at it as he’s no longer suffering, y’know?

A laser engraved wood box is a fantastic idea. I’ll look into that. Any sellers on Etsy or anywhere you’d recommend? I tried searching this morning but found so much it felt overwhelming.

Hey the clay pot idea is great and I feel silly for having not thought of it. I’ll have to look around for that. Get the pot and then have someone paint it later. Thanks for that.

As for the wood, that also sounds nice. A buddy actually suggested something similar and then having it painted or carved on.

They’re just now figuring this out?

It’s like Gabe said (paraphrased): “Piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem.”

Make it easy to buy stuff and people will. But the more barriers you put up, the more people will pirate. Granted, there are persons like you (and I counted among those at one point) who cannot afford things from time-to-time, but we’re a minority. Every game I’ve ever pirated from those days I have made sure to purchase once I was able to.

Make it available for easy purchase and people will buy it.

I got mine last January and it’s been pretty much flawless on Arch with KDE and Wayland. No regrets whatsoever. Battery life is probably the only weakness, but I also push my stuff hard. Overall, I’m super satisfied with the choice.

The oldest hardware I’m still using is an Intel Core i5-6500 with 48GB of RAM running our Palworld server. I have an upgrade in the pipeline to help with the lag, because the CPU is constantly stressed, but it still will run game servers.
