You might enjoy Sid Meier’s Civilization games. I’m partial to Civ 6, but they’re pretty much all in the same vein of management games.

“Existence” by Excision

Short, sweet, and catchy. They did a good job with that one.

Damn, that’s a shame.

they make too much money off people buying replacements.

Didn’t they start offering free repairs at some point due to it being such a widespread issue? Or did they stop doing that at some point?

Between the damage to their reputation it would cause (knowingly releasing a very flawed product despite having already publicly apologized for it years ago) and the potential for more class-action lawsuits down the line, it seems like it’d be profoundly shortsighted for them to do this.

But maybe the profits from selling replacements outweighs all that in their eyes. I sure hope not. One would hope the profits from a considerably more expensive console and moderately more expensive games would be enough.

Kinda surprised to hear that, but it’s good to see it officially supported.

Still wish the game wasn’t gonna have kernel level anticheat from some relatively unknown developer.

Experimented a bit with my usual bread recipe. It’s cooling off right now, so I’m hoping to have some fresh bread in an hour or so.

I had the privilege to see them live about 8 years ago and it was an incredible show. Dickinson has incredible stage presence; really puts a lot of energy into the show to keep the crowd engaged.

The giant animatronic zombie freaked me out a bit. It was enormous and moved realistically enough to be unsettling since I wasn’t that far away from it. Most metal shit I’ve ever seen in person.

Probably! He was a very smart guy (way more formal education in computer science than I), so I’ve always assumed there was some truth to what he said, but he didn’t elaborate further and I didn’t like bothering him with unnecessary questions, so I never followed up on the topic despite my confusion.

Not a teacher, per se, but the senior dev on my old team once said something that left me scratching my head. We were trying to troubleshoot an inconsistent bug in our software, and I said, “Maybe it’s a race condition,” to which he replied, “There’s no such thing.”

Still trying to figure out what he meant by that.

Agreed. I’ve learned most of what I know about computers by fixing broken stuff. Like you, my first serious daily driver was Manjaro. And after dealing with broken systems time and time again, I’m tired, boss. My daily driver for the last 2 years has been Mint and I love it to death for how stable and functional it is. But the lessons I learned along the way with other distros have been invaluable.

I’m a big fan of this one:

“Somebody that I used to Know” by Linkin Park

I’m sad to see that the original got taken down, but someone reuploaded it here.

You could try opening up the Resource Monitor and checking out the Network tab:

It might have the same issue (grouping everything under the VPN .exe), but it’s worth a shot.

Based on your description, “pan” seems appropriate. I don’t think ratios really matter when it comes to this kind of terminology. You appear to be, to varying degrees, attracted to people regardless of their sex or gender.

That said, I’m not sure what the distinction is between “pan” and “omni”.

I follow Blender on Mastodon and, about a month ago, they started this campaign to see if they could double the amount of donations (from approximately 1% of users to 2% of users), and it’s been decently successful so far just by putting “Can you donate?” banners in more places (and posting memes about donating on their social media).

Here’s a short video they put out about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v7Uhoot4Qg

I think the funding campaign only lasts a month, so it’s probably about over (though donations are always accepted, this is just a brief social media campaign to increase development funds for FY2025).

Looks delicious. Horseradish is a bit strong for me, but I could see it going nicely with this dish.

What kind of cheese does it use?

I’ve started baking bread this year and it’s been fun.

The “hardest” part is deciding to make the dough at night before I go to bed so it can ferment overnight. But the next day, all I need to do is throw it in the oven for 45 minutes and bam, fresh bread.

I’m struggling to get the crust right, though. It tends to come out very chewy rather than crispy
