Still happily using Linux.

I did switch the DE to kde plasma because the cosmic desktop was giving games a lot of trouble. Opening in weird window sizes, mostly. I did some light trouble shooting but decided I didn’t care that much about the desktop environment, so I installed the 2nd one.

A DM running a traditional game of D&D?

Probably. They could have used their wealth for anything but they’re like dragons. Do you mourn for dragons in stories of knights slaying them?

I enjoy many social interactions.

Went to a concert this weekend. Chatted with the person running the merch table. Briefly chatted with a rando at the bar. Was nice.

Went to a party this weekend. Had a nice chat with some people I’d met before. Maybe came on kind of strong to the socialists in one conversation, but it was fun.

Lemmy probably isn’t going to get you a representative sample of people.

I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

Ah that’s interesting. I’m too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn’t mind selling.

buying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.

i don’t do any subscriptions, myself.

Why not both?

Cool. I’m so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.

We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

I never see characters in games as “me”. I try to make someone hot or wacky. Often that’s a buff lady. Sometimes it’s “the biggest beard and hair I can get”.

I started using bruno for lazy gui “make a request” needs.

But for anything serious python requests is right there, so I mostly used that for testing.

People don’t think too good when they’re emotional, so this would be very effective.

I prefer Fate’s system:

When you don’t like your roll, you can either reroll or take a flat bonus. Because Fate is a dice pool instead of flat-probability-1d20, if you do take the reroll to make up for an atrocious roll, you’re less likely to get another atrocious roll. Usually you just need the little bump to make a difference.

It’s a horrible policy that people stop paying social security tax at like $200k or something. That’s backwards. The first $50k or so should be untaxed, and it should ramp up from there.

I vote in every election. New York has ranked choice for some things now, which is nice. The way judges are picked is pretty bad, though.

I think there’s something with age and lead poisoning that makes people short sighted, easily manipulated with emotional appeals, and short tempered.

I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon

I’m not here to watch a movie. I’m here to take this axe and hit monsters with it.

I’m sure bloodborne has a very deep story. I had a great time just hitting stuff with that axe and occasionally shooting things. That’s the bulk of the content.
