I have a thousand wires hidden under my couch, my rug, my chair, and anywhere else I can hide them. Chargers, home theater, other chargers, smart-ish devices, and whatever else that I don't even want to go look at.

I'm terrified it'll eat all my cables because that's what my last one did.

This is an anecdote because that site brought me back to another time. Feel free to skip it.

They have part of the OLGA archive there! Back in the day that was my go to. I had printed out multiple three ring binders full of tabs from there. When I would start working with new musicians I would put together a fakebook of 40-50 songs of the right style and just sit around and practice them.

That's how I went from being a terrible guitarist full of passion to a mediocre guitarist who could badly fake anything well enough that it's almost recognizable. It was such a great time.

They'll defend powderpuff football to the death.

Yeah, I do. Right after I got done doing it for work the singer in our band booked us at Trees. So I spent all that time driving back and forth, then drove out on Saturday with a car full of equipment.

It's not like it was a big deal and that's such a fun venue. I had a great time. I just can't think of it without remembering that drive haha.

I hope you had a place to store your equipment there so you didn't have to load and unload everyday at least. Doing that every day would have been my nightmare.

I grew up in Podunk Northeast Texas so I have the drawl. But I left and spent a lot of time all up and down the eastern seaboard married to a woman that grew up out west. So my brain added every affectation I ran across to the drawl.

Now I have the long vowel sounds in a fairly rapid speech pattern, do the weird O sound they use in South Carolina, will occasionally pronounce house like I'm from Ontario, and have a hard time saying my first name if I don't concentrate.

I still sound mostly like a shoeless Texas hillbilly bootlegger but with a bunch of exceptions. So it makes me sound drunk as hell, until I am drunk. Then the exceptions leave and I sound like I just got off work at the oil rig and I'm headed to the strip club to cheat on my wife before heading back to the trailer.

Sounds like when I lived in Tyler and had to work in the DFW Metro for a job. I spent months driving back and forth. Luckily my travel was paid.

My favorite is Stop Having Fun, Guys. Broken Base hits too close to home for too many franchises I enjoy.

So I went and looked. OP seems like a very unhappy individual. I found traces of the below plus a lot of the "whiney entitled gamer" archetype. I sure hope they find happiness someday.

"Stop Having Fun" Guys

You two are overlooking the most important thing. It might be fun to crazily rip out the cables then make a junior guy go trace and repatch it all. The opportunity to legitimately do that doesn't come along often.

I am in my 40s and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

For real though, I had a variety of jobs when I got out of school. I went into the military, went to college for something that I didn't want to do, worked in several fields, fell into a job in technology, went back to school, and I'll retire doing this unless something drastically changes.

I wouldn't call the second half of August "a long time". However, I can say Chimera is pretty good and prior to August the last big release of HoloISO was last year so I do get your point and agree with you steering others to distros that may better meet their needs.

I don't know that sending it to a random Latina would work. She'd probably be weirded out by some random person removed about a game.

Yeah, that's how Big Picture works. The suspend on it is the same garbage Windows suspend. I don't use it on my Deck, but it is on my main rig.

That sucks.

I don't mind tasteful, well paced ads. That said, I use New pipe and Firefox with Ublock Origin because no one seems to remember what those are.

I 100% want a bowl of meat. However, if you're going to call it poutine with smoked meat then the poutine should be the star with the smoked meat being the flair, not the other way around.

Who, me? Never.

It's my fault. I signed up for it before I realized it was a pro China instance and the other day I said I'm not a Communist.

I posted elsewhere about my setup. I have a rig in one room and a mini PC set up as a "console" using HoloISO connected to a TV. I stream games to it.

If it's your only rig I recommend what the other person said. Get a full PC or catch a gaming laptop on sale unless you have a very specific use case. You can play modern games on higher end ones but you'll get more bang for your buck out of a PC. You can make your own Ship of Theseus and upgrade parts one at a time.
