I used to be on kbin as e0qdk@kbin.social before it broke down.

  • All of them? No. I can remember some details of a lot of them, and some of them very well, but there's others -- especially from when I was very young -- that I no longer have a good full mental map of.

    I definitely do not remember the layout of all my schools. I moved a lot and some of these are just disconnected fragments of areas to me now. I have no idea how my classroom and the cafeteria were connected in the school I was at in 3rd grade, for example, and I'm struggling to even remember how I got home from school then -- even though I do remember taking the bus to school at that age, and I remember some of the places I had to wait to catch the bus home when I was even younger than that... It's strange what sticks in memory and what doesn't, sometimes.

  • NEIN

  • I would like to see the ninja frogs!

  • Yeah, I've never been good at the parry mechanics in any of the Dark Souls games which is why I expect I'll bounce off Sekiro. Maybe it'll "click" for me eventually, like I've heard some people say -- will have to see when I get around to it.

    Not really expecting a BB release, but sometimes crazy things happen if I wait long enough. We got FF7 on GOG after all. It could happen some day. Maybe. :p

    None of the other soulslike games that have come out have even really registered in my brain so my backlog of "I should play this" isn't too long for this genre.

  • I've been playing through soulslike games at a rate of about one of them every year or two -- last year being an exception due to Silksong's release where I played both DS3 and Silksong.

    The only soulslike games left on my radar that seem like they might be interesting to me are Sekiro (which I have a feeling I will bounce off of), Elden Ring, and maybe Lies of P. I've already seen a playthrough of Bloodborne but would try it too -- if it ever gets a PC release...

  • CITY is not on CR -- or, at least, it wasn't when I was looking for it last year.

    Wikipedia has it listed as licensed by Amazon Prime Video. (I expect most people just raised the Jolly Roger though...)

  • I've been using the HTML only version of DuckDuckGo as my default since Google made JS mandatory to run searches. It works ok for most of the simple queries I make. (e.g. looking something up from the Python docs, MDN, etc.) I resort to Google still for the stuff it completely flubs.

    Gone from probably 99% Google + 1% of other to maybe something like 95% DDG + 5% other (mostly Google).

  • Could've accused the Al-Gebra-ists of pursuing weapons of Math Instruction. :-)

  • I haven't seen compelling enough evidence to believe in the supernatural.

    That said, we do seem to be well on our way to engineering ghost-like phenomenon. People will set up LLMs and generative AI systems that imitate dead people, if they haven't already...

    No ghosts IRL? No problem! We'll make ghosts!

    Thanks Humanity. 🙄️

  • I thought I was lucky to be in California…fuck me.

    You should go read the actual requirements because it's probably the sanest version of this that exists.

    Your OS just has to have a way for you to say "I am this age" (bracketed into several groups) at account creation and software is supposed to respect that. Not a fucking face scan or ID or any of that other bullshit that some other idiotic "verification" attempts require.

  • I just played it recently for the first time. Took me about 50 hours from start to rocket launch (the win condition) in the default, recommended free-play campaign + a few more hours before that to go through the tutorial stages.

    Haven't tried the Space Age expansion yet, so not sure what to expect there on time commitment.

  • Is this a Bayeskisser meme? 😛️

  • IM-based: AIM+MSN+etc... -> IRC -> Google Talk -> SMS -> (nothing for many years) -> Slack (for work)

    Web-Based: forums (esp. GMC) -> Digg -> reddit (mainly) + HN (sometimes) -> kbin -> lemmy

  • Haven't run into this personally, but most of my gaming on Linux these days is on the Steam Deck without anything particularly interesting going on storage-wise.

    It'd probably help with debugging if you add the distro you are using into the text of your post. Also, how are you launching the games? (Steam? Lutris? Heroic? Something else?)

    For RE4 specifically, Steam has it listed as "Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: The Enigma Protector", so you might be running into some shittiness from DRM on that one, perhaps?

    If you're running on Fedora or related distros, check your system logs to see if SELinux is complaining about anything. Sometimes the security features are overzealous.

    Best of luck!

  • I don't know about bears, but I wouldn't it put it past a bonobo...

    Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.

  • We use VPNs at work a lot for protecting traffic as it passes over the public internet between distant sites. From a security perspective, it's better not to give devices direct access to the internet if they don't actually need it. That's stuff we're running ourselves though; not a commercial VPN service we're paying for.

  • I liked the UI when I first encountered it, but it being invite-only killed what interest I had in it pretty quick during the 2023 reddit exodus. Seems to still be invite only in 2026.

  • I use container tabs for that. Makes it easy to keep two logged in accounts side-by-side.
