Planescape Torment. I don't even have words... That game has been living rent-free in my head for 20 years 🤯

Otherwise Morrowind. It was the first game that introduced me to mods, that made me spend almost as much time looking for mods than playing, and that made me make a few.

I've been with my current computer for over a year now.

I don't get it either. If people wear sunglasses, whether inside or outside, they chose to wear them for a reason. Even if the reason is just "forgot to take them off". No one's deliberately wearing sunglasses to be rude to you...

I never take sunglasses off inside, unless there's an actual reason (like not enough light, or if I need to see colors correctly when shopping). There's always too much light everywhere, it's always too bright, and it's even worst at night because of the contrast between the darkness and the blinding lampposts. So light sunglasses everywhere.

As a bonus, that way I never have to bother with eye contact. Couldn't care less if people think it's rude: if I took the sunglasses off I'd inevitably forget to make eye contact and they would think it was rude anyway. Fuck eye contact.

I do find recreating the whole theme of XP pretty impressive, it must have taken a lot more than just a "skin import".

That... must have taken some work 😮

LOTS of eye candy ❤️

There's an option in the config to replace the default anime background by a more sober one with the hyprland logo (wish I had know that BEFORE doing a presentation on a large second screen for the first time and realizing that hyprpaper kept my custom background on my workspaces but defaulted to the anime wallpaper on the second screen because in hyprpaper backgrounds are configured per screen 😂 ). And no matter whether you use that option or not, it shouldn't overwrite the background you choose. It's displayed only if you don't have any background configured. Otherwise it's either a bug or misconfiguration in hyprpaper.

Definitely not going to defend the dev on the other stuff.

Sway is definitely great for tabs. I tried it on Hyprland for a while and mixing tiling + tabs was horrendous, it was such a hassle to use that I just stopped trying to use tabs inside tiles after a while. I even tried the hy3 plugin to make Hyprland behave like i3 including tabs and it was better, but there were very annoying bugs... Tabs are the only bad thing I have to say about Hyprland though, otherwise it's a great compositor. If you like dynamic tiling, obviously. Maybe the tabs have been improved since then, it was a year ago and I haven't been following the updates since I switched back to Sway.

I don't know if there are stacking compositors that allow you to tab windows together like Haiku does, maybe that would be closest to what op looks for since they prefer stacking?

VSCode because I'm too lazy to learn Vim and I'm not enough of a masochist to configure emacs.

Yeah if you prefer stacking/floating windows definitely go for Wayfire or one of the others stacking/floating compositors. There's not much point in using a tiling compositor if you don't like the tiling.

Shite is still shite, even if it's open source shite.

I can't wait until I am able to give random programs kernel access on my system! That doesn't sound problematic in the least! After all, I have the fullest confidence that for companies developing anticheat, my security is their highest concern! /s

OMG underwear too? Those monsters! 😱 😱 😱

At least those corners are cut with shiny new knives. Have you considered buying a new set?

How can you have too many knives? There's just so much variety... Butter knife, steak knife, fish knife, fruit carving knife, cheese knife... GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!

Noooo you can't do that it'd be socialism! Which, as everyone knows, leads to the end of private property and therefore to nationalizing toothbrushes. How would YOU like to have to share your toothbrush?

I do get the efficiency point, and it did improve accessibility massively. I don't want to downplay that. Like not having huge paragraphs of text take the whole width of the screen anymore helped improve readability a lot. Or pages of text over a background image... that was a nightmare. But it would be nice to have efficiency and accessibility without every website looking the same. There has to be a way to make websites look interesting without the design hindering users from reaching the information they want... But I assume that it would require a lot more effort, and that's not a priority for most websites. I guess the priority isn't to look interesting anymore but SEO? Maybe it comes from the changing nature of the internet, with big websites getting most of the traffic and replacing everything else? Like having markets with crazy stalls everywhere replaced by malls... I guess it's easier for a small website made by one person about a topic they are passionate about to take the risk of a creative design than it would be for Facebook to do it.

That’s cool. What makes it special?

Nice one. If it's only a status thing he'll scrabble to find something to say about it other than it's price. And on the very very low chance that it's not, he'll have an excuse to explain. Who knows, he might be a watch nerd who's really proud that he could afford that watch because it's a special watch to watch nerds for watch related reasons and he'll tell you all about it.

That's actually way cooler 😂
