I love an off-season beach trip when it's cold. I love walking along a cold desolate beach then go back to a cozy cabin with a book. Perfection. A crowded beach, peak summer and just sitting there. Yuck.
I like to see some natural wonders or explore a new city where nobody knows me.
I also like a nice spring/winter trip to rent a beach house too. Cheaper, no ones around and I don't like getting in the ocean anyway.
Currently am on vacation to go see a band with some friends and in a couple weeks renting a beach house on Vancouver Island with the family. It will be a good September.
US, late 30s drove a manual for almost 20 years. Switched a few years ago when buying a new car and nothing that still had a manual was appealing. I do miss it sometimes, but others I'm just happy to cruise.
We have a lot of machines that run on HP unix at work. I read a lot of those manuals as I didn't want to break anything. It's very annoying to use coming from modern Linux.
I read some of the 9front documentation and a lot of the Debian administrator's handbook. I'm weird and just like operating systems though.
You could also fit it in easily to the httr fight song lyrics. Commanders is just so generic and boring. Even football team was a better name. Still I'm glad they changed the name.
I worked 6pm to 6am for 4 years. I loved working nights. Easy commute, no boss, more pay, quieter at work (not less busy just quiet). There are two huge downsides. I feel like it decimated what little social life I had and ruined my days off. I also feel like it was rough on the body and mind. Always tired and depressed.
It's taken a few years to feel like me again. Maybe an 8 hour night shift or 4pm to midnight would be okay but 6pm to 6am was rough.
Having just done a shell swap with the current shell layout there doesn't seem to be a lot of room to reduce the bezzle size without some serious Dremel work. Maybe you could get them down to switch OLED size but they don't bother me and probably helped keep the cost down.
Most of what you are missing out on are games that require some form of anti cheat. Most other stuff just runs. Most new triple A games just run these days.
I have an older 6th gen Intel XPS that probably lasted 7 hours max on windows and I get 6+ on Linux. Not really noticeable to me. I should have gotten the 1080p screen instead of this 4k monstrosity and battery life would have gone up 50%. The thing is also a beast at sleeping and will go well over 2 weeks before the battery drains. Which is great because I just use it on the couch now and will open it up for a few minutes here and there before shoving it back between the cushions again.
Last year I got a 12th gen framework and battery life is disappointing under Linux. Maybe 5ish hours. I can live with that but when sleeping it still drains like 25% a day.
I thought I had civ 1 and 2 on steam but I was wrong. My memories of playing civ 2 on Linux were really of freeciv. I find it scratches the civ 2 itch. I've certainly played 3-6 on Linux through steam. Though 3 is a hit of a hassle and not worth it to me when I prefer 2, 4, 5 & 6.
I'd say about 95 percent of my steam collection works with little to no tweaking required these days. Skyrim works, throw any mods you want at it. Witcher 3 runs great. RDR2 and any civ 1-6 all run perfectly. Baulders Gate 3 runs smooth as butter.
There's the odd game here and there that doesn't work well or at all but most things just work. I think the main thing that doesn't work is anticheat enabled online games. I don't play those though so I can't really comment on their state of play outside of that.
That's disappointing. Haven't tested it on the deck yet as I'm waiting for new screen to arrive. It runs great on my moderate gaming PC with a 6600xt. Runs at 1080p ultra and hovers between 100 and 120fps. Usually closer to 120.
I think it was TWA possibly American. I remember a few years later flying jet blu when it was new and it seemed so cool.
