Nope, the devs got screwed by Unity who promised them performance increases on fancy new features they were early adopters for but those never came. Performance is still terrible; not sure if it is still rendering every individual citizen's set of teeth but it was doing that at one point.

There was a point where the terminal emulator environment just clicked in my head. Binary and library paths, specifically dynamic linking. Compiling with the correct flags... Just building a small CLI tool in C.

Then having all of that wrapped up in tmux with a mixture of emacs and vim on the side. Essentially my whole user environment felt like a flexible IDE where I was coding close to the metal.

It's an incredibly short read, like ~50 pages. You could read it in one sitting quite easily.

I guess history and a sense of being part of an established culture.

Do also want to point out though that Americans talk their country down on here. It's a place of extremes but that diversity in theory means anyone could find their niche. They also have pretty much every biome you might want to live in from desert, to parks to icy tundra - I can see why you might not need a passport.

Start off with a github pages static site so it's free and you can get a feel for it. I'm assuming this is for blog posts? I've seen some cool blogs about how to use embedded mastodon to add comments to your blogs (assuming you link to the blog page in a mastodon post).

I used to have a CrunchyRoll sub but since I caught up with Overlord I cancelled it.

At the moment I'm watching Sakamoto Days and Dan Da Dan which are both on Netflix so haven't had to resub to crunchyroll yet.

I use i2p for torrents exclusively. It's slow but totally private so I can seed without needing to mess about with a VPN.

There is a slightly smaller community but the people on there have similar tastes to me: linux textbooks, GOG games, jazz albums, etc.

Just avoid talking about politics with them. Ultinately neither of you are in control of world events so focus on what you have in common instead of jettisoning someone from your life for something almost as superficial as supporting a different sports team.

I've read a few articles that said they actually are bringing in Indians at the moment.

Respectfully disagree with your opinion but many reviewers seem to have raised similar points to you so I'm wondering if I'm an outlier for enjoying it so much.

There's always the next MCU movie coming out! You can grab a cheeky nandos afterwards with that one friend you've kept in touch with from school - but don't spend too much! Need to keep up on the mortgage for the new build starter home with astroturf lawns you are locked into paying for for the next 25 years.

Maybe this will finally be the year for sports team to win something!

My parents are more right wing than me and I tend to just change to conversation topic or make non-commital comments about their opinions.

From my perspective it seems like a general trend towards becoming more right wing for a lot of older people and I'm definitely not going to change their mindset which has been set over 75+ years. I try to just enjoy the time I have with them while I still have them.

Yeah it's a matter of personal taste

I couldn't stand much of Outer Worlds tbh. Avowed has been a 100% upgrade from my perspective. Not being able to kill NPCs and having no repercussions for stealing just seemed like they were transposing PoE mechanics to the first person perspective.

I really don't like tactics style gameplay which only a couple of exceptions. Traditional RealTime with Pause is much more appealing to me after playing so much of the old Baldurs Gate games. This is partially why I could never get into the Divinity: OS games and why I've been avoiding BG3. I usually just want to instagib scrubs instead of entering a series of elaborate menus.

Thanks for this recommendation. Also not a reader of fanfic but have very much enjoyed reading a few chapters.

Try unetbootin on windows to create the liveUSB

Ah but you see those were merely "gamer moments"

I've got it downloading now. Love Obsidian games.

Pit bulls, XL Bullys, Akitas... these dog breeds are not fully domesticated.

Always unnerving when you are out walking your dog and you pass the owner of some hellhound saying, "Don't worry, Toby is friendly!" While the dog is salivating and pulling at the leash to come and maim you lol.
