SinkingLotus

A collection of short stories by Harlan Ellison.

It was an absolutely insufferable read. Specifically, his foreword between each story.

Sudo !!

It reruns the last command as sudo.

Pretty useful since I’m always forgetting.

but have no idea how I should go about playing games on Linux

What distro?

Do you know what graphics card you’re using?

I took all the negative traits but forgot the positive ones.

I’ve been meaning to. It’s just that I got my current Netflix subscription as part of a bundle with my ISP. I have to phone them to cancel it. I don’t really have the energy to do so.

Though, I’m in the process of being kicked out of my home. If I’m able to find somewhere to go, I’ll likely cancel it once I change my address with the ISP.

Other than that. I use YouTube with an adblock on both my PC and FireStick.

Everyone needs to start treating him with Bizarro rules.

I just checked the compatibility list for PCSX2.

Both games seem to be fully playable from start to end. DA1 has a fix listed for some of the issues. DA2 has a 4GB patch listed.

You might want to try both of these if you decide to give them another go.

Honestly, I think if a game was good back then, it’s still good now. There’s just a bit of an adjustment period.

Are there any types of games you enjoy in particular? Favourite genres and series?

Since I finished Starfield. I’ve had an itch for more space exploration. I decided to get back into Elite Dangerous. I haven’t played it for a good couple years. I bought the latest DLC for it when it was released. I just never got around to playing it. I’m absolutely loving the space legs.

I’ve been going from system to system. Mapping each planet and moon. Landing on those that I can. Exploring for geological features and biology samples. All while marathoning my favourite YouTube channels.

I’d add Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead to go along with DF. Also DFHack.

The same way I distract myself from anything even slightly unpleasant or uncomfortable.

Escapism via gaming, reading, music, and YouTube.

Usually multiple at once. Sensory overload makes it easier to distract yourself completely.

Literally every couple steps.

Same. I wouldn’t stop talking during combat so I was typing full sentences in that one second global cooldown.

Even if there was the option to skip. I go through the whole setup each time all the way to finishing it. Yet it still comes up again the next time. It’s infuriating.

Not sure what I expected from Microsoft though. I got a 365 subscription about two years ago. OneDrive never worked properly. It wouldn’t sync, and the so-called “Personal Vault” would reset itself everyday while keeping the contents. Forcing me to go through the setup whenever I used it. The email though, was by far the worst. About a year ago everyone would start receiving an absolutely insane amount of spam/phishing emails. I was getting around sixty a day. I have no idea what Microsoft did to fuck things up so badly though.
