Even us elder millennials often don't carry cash. I'm so elder, I might as well be gen-x. And until recently it had been years since I carried cash.

I can't see the name Crash and not think of the 1996 movie with James Spader. Which is weird as fuck.

That deck appears to have a kickstand. It's hard to see, but it's just to the right of the cable.

You can add it to steam, it's free and dlc bought from ea works with the steam version.

I find it's easier to get the ea version running though, so I usually just add the launcher as a non steam game, and that works fine too.

That game's closer to 20+ years old. It's been a very long time since I've played it. It was way back when gaming on Linux was mostly limited to games that had a native Linux release.

Not only that, but it comes off as some weird replacement kid for their dead son. The Pitch Meeting is fun

Many people misunderstand. It's not that Orange Cats have a single braincell. It's that all orange cats on the planet share a single braincell among them. At any given moment only one orange cat may be using the braincell.

I haven't tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.

Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here's the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.

The tooltip for fedipact says: "Agreed to block all communications (their blocklist is private)"

To me that says, they've agreed but it's not confirmed that they've gone through with it because the blocklist is private. Blocked on the other hand says "All communications are blocked"

IIRC Exanima itself was never meant to be the full open world RPG. It was always intended to be a smaller game to perfect some of the game mechanics for their ultimate goal of building that open world RPG. I have no idea if they still plan to build that other game or if they are working on it in parallel or have ditched it entirely.

Edit: The community seems to believe that the devs are still planning to make Sui Generis at any rate. Exanima has been in EA for 10 years or so now, and based on what I'm seeing online they are almost at their 1.0 release version, at which point they will divert their attention to to Sui Generis. Take with a pinch of salt, as this information comes from the r/exanima community on reddit.

DS9 gets way better in the last few seasons, IMO. Worth sticking with it.

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn't want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

Yeah, that's one of the geographical differences I was alluding to. In Canada it can mean either depending on context.

As an English speaker I would naturally interpret "You are worth dick" and "you are not worth dick" in the same way.

I took German classes in high school and have been struggling ever since not to automatically capitalize nouns when I write in English. It's been like 25 years.

This is English, but Canada specific as far as I know.

"Fucking the dog" - means to slack off, particularly at work.

"I fucked the dog all day at work today" basically means I got nothing done.

It is distinct from "screw the pooch" which means to fuck something up badly.

That's generally true, but there are some exceptions. For instance. "I'm pissed" can either mean "I'm drunk" or "I'm angry" depending on where you are and the context.

A wave rarely comes alone

An equivalent idiom in English for this one might be "When it rains, it pours"

Only if the rest of the sentence matches the tense to make that clear.

I went to a movie this Saturday

This one is yesterday. But I personally would just say "I went to a movie Saturday" and drop the "this" entirely in that case.

I'm going to a movie this Saturday

This one refers to the upcoming Saturday.

Meh, I saw documentaries listed but didn't catch that they weren't looking for those specifically. Doesn't matter the OP isn't the only one in this thread and so it's here in case someone else finds it interesting.
