Tofu.

Pressing the water out, marinating for hours, then cooking properly so it's delicious and not a rubbery mess is just too much hassle.

I have a 16 and a 13, I thought I'd give away the 13 when I got the 16 but I keep using the 13 as well cause of how portable it is. Lot nicer to lounge about with the 13 than the 16.

I might get the 12 to replace my 13 and use it for drawing practice and web browsing. Performance wise it'd be a downgrade from my 1280p but I don't really need the performance.

They're also using an older cpu in these and only one stick of ram to run costs down. It is a low tier 13th gen intel.

I have a physical copy of Heavy Gear 2 native for Linux. Tried getting it to work some time during late Covid era and just gave up and pirated the windows copy to run through Lutris.

Going forward I think that flatpaks can be great to keep things running in the future, or app images or bottles.

Just, something that installs a specific version of the libraries it needs for that game only separate from the rest of the system

Just containerize native linux games.

Looked it up and someone had it running via a steam deck so looks like you're set.

And it gets worse, through system updates there are old native games that no longer work on modern systems. Meanwhile I can grab a random windows game from the 90s or early 2000s and it'll probably work via proton.

Rich is right

There's a guy on TikTok and YouTube who regularly compares small to mid sized Canadian homes to literal European castles that cost less.

Attractive female, immortal, divine powers.

But, not any major religion. Just start making flowers bloom in the name of some minor goddess that has good rules. Go around healing people and giving out free food.

See what that does to the world when basically every main religion is "wrong"

The Wiccans I know are generally good folk, what chaos when healing crystals actually start working?

Attempt to not go mad with power.

In the article they do post about "investor concerns"

I have two friends playing PoE2 in windows and they have had tons of problems with the game crashing.

I'm running it in linux and I've had one crash in 65 hours of playtime.

22 was MMO and shooters mostly, 23 was dominated by racing games. 24 was BG3 and Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts.... mostly just UA.

The unmatched screen makes that part of the wallpaper better

When I'm waiting for a long loading screen I'll often just shake the cursor while I wait and see how big I can get it.

I'm fine with having to pick between ads and paying for a service, but when there are ads when I paid not to see them...

I pay for YouTube premium and have for several years, but if I start seeing ads I'll go to watching Nebula and listening to podcasts and cut out YouTube.

I have a bunch of ships in the game. The most fun I've ever had in the game was after a reset I ignored all of the other ships I had and just focused on starting with the cheapest ship in the game and earning my way up. I had a blast.

I haven't touched the game in probably 3 years, basically just waiting for more things to get finished before jumping back in. But it is hard to get excited for the game with how long it has been and how... not good things have been in the company.

It isn't a scam, just incredibly mismanaged. Chris Robert's has a very hard time saying "this is good enough" and that makes the company bleed money as they repeatedly remake things. People then don't tell Chris no. They weren't making a good space Sim, they were making the best darn space Sim evah!

They've completely redone the flight model several times to various levels of success. Time frames get so damm long that they have to go back and remake huge chunks of the game in order to keep things up to snuff graphically.

I get the feeling that they never felt the need to stress out about timelines as the funding kept rolling in, in fact the funding accelerated over time! The game has 183 different ships all designed down to the tiniest detail in the game right now. That's a fuck ton of work hours, but ship sales gets the funding rolling so they have to keep cranking out new ships.

I do really like playing the game, but it is really a shitshow for management. There was one point where they had to throw away a massive amount of work because one studio was making things that didn't fit the metrics for scale and animation of the rest of the game.

Edit: and ships are a dumb thing to buy anyway! You can earn them in game anyway for really not all that much work. It's the most cost inefficient grind skip I've ever seen in a game.

I've seen a couple vtubers use leap for hand tracking.

I use IEMs through a dongle dac because I have an OLED that has interference on the audio board and I've been too lazy to open it up to isolate it and I don't want to wait to send it into Valve for repair.

I work in a gas station, there is a MAGA regular who is constantly complaining about how broke she is, she buys 2 packs of unfiltered camels a day, that's $14.60 a pack, over $800 a month just for cigarettes cause she buys the most expensive packs in the store.
